Combining Arts with Health Sciences provides you with powerful communication and critical thinking skills coupled with a strong technological or scientific base to improve health outcomes for individuals and groups.

 

What is a Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Health Sciences?

This course leads to two separate degrees:

• the Bachelor of Arts, and
• the Bachelor of Health Sciences.

 

You’ll gain all the benefits of each degree course and be fully equipped to pursue a career in either field separately or to combine the two in your chosen work.

 

The Bachelor of Arts offers you 30+ areas of study to choose from, such as, bioethics, psychology, sociology, languages and communications, and provides you with an essential skill set, effective communication, interpersonal skills, empathy, critical thinking, cultural awareness and a global outlook.

 

The Bachelor of Health Sciences develops through three themes: Personal and professional development; Population, communities, health and illness; and Scientific basis of health care practice; and allows you to apply scientific approaches to improve health challenges, keeping in mind physiological, behavioural, developmental, social and environmental aspects of human health.
