During your first year, you will learn foundational knowledge about health
science that will give you a strong basis for your second year, in which you start to
apply this knowledge to improve people’s health and understand how humans
and animals function. In your third year, the focus is on becoming a health science
practitioner and developing the skills that you will need for entering the workforce.
One major advantage of studying this course at Stalt University is that you will be
taught by academics who have worked in a variety of health professions and can
give you the benefit of real-life experience in their chosen field. This could include
discovering potential cures for diseases or being part of new clinical trials involving
medications, medical treatments, and therapies.
Our health is our most important asset. In this Bachelor of Health Science degree, you
will look at the environmental and social issues that may lead to poor health, illness,
and disease. You will question what can be done to prolong individual life and to improve
the population’s wellbeing as a whole. You will analyse policies, data, and research that
provide information about health concerns and how to promote healthy living. A key focus
will also be people’s access to health programs and services throughout Australia and
overseas.
As you get further into your degree at Stalt University, you will have the opportunity
to focus solely on one area that will become your major subject and that you study
in detail. A range of major subjects are offered including ethics, human biology, and
global and national health issues.Stalt University gives its students the unique
opportunity of undertaking work placements overseas, so in third year you will have
the option of gaining industry experience in another country. Over the 3 years of your
degree, you will experience over 150 hours of industry placements and projects either
in Australia or abroad.
What career opportunities are on offer for health science graduates?
This course will give you a solid foundation for an amazing range of employment areas.
For example, throughout Australia and overseas our graduates find jobs in health
promotion, policy, community health, clinical trials, and aged care. To conclude,
this is an exciting and innovative course and I look forward to working with you
over the next 3 years.
