Bachelor of Health Science
Health Science encompasses studies in areas such as genetics, anatomy and physiology, chemistry and biochemistry, nutrition, molecular and cellular biology, communicable diseases, environmental health, and toxicology. Your firm grounding in health science will develop a thorough understanding of these topics with the opportunity to develop specialist areas of knowledge through the diverse range of electives.
The Bachelor of Health Science offers three majors in Environmental Health, Environmental Toxicology, and Information Technology (from 2020). In the Environmental Health and Environmental Toxicology majors you will learn about environmental agents such as climate change, pollution, and food safety that have the potential to adversely affect the health of any community. By studying local and international examples, you will learn how to address the very factors that impact our environment while understanding the rationale and practice of risk assessment.
In the Information Technology major, you will build on the strong health science base built-in the foundation year and in core courses, with experience of topics and themes expected to be key to health innovation, including data management, programming, and software and app design. Honors are available for this degree through an additional year of study.
