Bachelor of Health Sciences
Course Overview
Designed in consultation with health industry experts, UQ’s Bachelor of Health Sciences gives you a comprehensive understanding of human health—from the cellular level to public policy. You’ll develop in-depth knowledge by selecting a core specialisation. Choose from either clinical health, nutrition or public health. This program provides the flexibility to forge your own journey, whether you choose a clinical or non-clinical career pathway. For those pursuing a non-clinical career, this degree opens doors to opportunities in the planning and delivery of efficient public health programs and policies, as well as further postgraduate study such as the Master of Public Health. Students seeking a clinical career can use this program to transition to a clinical postgraduate degree such as the Doctor of Medicine, Master of Occupational Therapy Studies, or Master of Dietetics Studies, subject to meeting entry requirements. For students with provisional entry to the Doctor of Medicine, this is a recognised pathway. The program provides future medical practitioners with a solid grounding in biomedical sciences, public health, healthcare ethics, behavioural sciences and the healthcare system.
