Work placement

You'll get paid to work in an area related to your field of study for either 6 or 12 months, where you'll combine hands-on learning with academic submissions, workplace reflection and feedback from your host organisation. Most students undertake their placements in the third year of their degree, so you’ll want to map out your electives as soon as you can and register for a placement at least 6 months before your preferred start date.

Career opportunities

The Bachelor of Health Science equips our students with a range of knowledge and skills that prepare them for work in this inter-disciplinary and multi-disciplinary field. The variety of majors offered in this degree allows our students the flexibility to undertake training required for broad and/or specific health science careers. These include, but are not limited to, hospital laboratory scientist, health educator, researcher, nutritionist, clinical physiologist, AI data scientist, biomedical technical specialist, and health policy officer.

Course rules

To qualify for the award of Bachelor of Health Science, students must complete 300 credit points comprising of:
