Take your degree and experience to the next level and gain advanced knowledge of complex health care systems and current issues in health.

 

Prepare for a career in health and wellbeing or build on your existing background. Choose to study health without a specialisation, or select from one of seven specialist areas:

• Health Leadership and Management
• Health Policy, Planning and Service Delivery
• Health Promotion
• Midwifery
• Nursing
• Professional Practice
• Workplace Health and Safety.

 

Develop the theoretical and practical skills required to meet the demand for skilled staff in the health sector.

 

To qualify for entry, you’ll need a Bachelor’s degree in a relevant discipline, and for some subjects you’ll normally be a registered health professional in that area. The path you take will depend on your previous academic achievements and your professional goals.

 

Workload

As a guide, for each course you take at the University you should allocate around 10 hours per point for self-directed study, research, assessments, and attendance at lectures and workshops. For example, a 30-point course will be made up of around 300 hours of study.

 

If you’re studying full-time, you can expect a workload of 40 hours of study time a week for much of the year. Part-time students doing one course per trimester will need to allocate approximately 20 hours of study a week. Make sure you take this into account if you are working full-time.
