Bachelor of Health Sciences

Yes, the Bachelor of Health Sciences can be studied either on campus or online. However, the online option may require face to face engagement for the work integrated learning components in the third year of study. Students also have the option to attend campus for their chosen elective courses in the third year, and there are electives available for students seeking to complete the program entirely online.

The Bachelor of Health Sciences is designed to prepare students for postgraduate entry to practice offerings including the Masters of Physiotherapy, Speech Pathology, Paramedicine, Counselling, or Social Work. Students can select electives to meet pre-requisite requirements for these postgraduate programs.

The Bachelor of Health Sciences is available at Fremantle, Broome, and Sydney campuses. The Broome Campus supports online enrolments only.

Students are required to complete the course Experiential Learning in Health, which may include an industry placement or related project to provide real-world experience.
