Course overview
The Bachelor of Health Sciences/Bachelor of Arts is a flexible degree that is ideal if you are interested in a career in either health or arts but aren’t sure which direction to take. The course allows you to undertake complementary studies in both these areas while exploring particular areas of interest to you. You choose how to structure your course and could combine, for example: exercise science with dance, politics and policy studies with nutrition, sport coaching with media and communication, food studies with journalism, or sociology with health promotion.
This course allows you to explore the relationship between various areas of study, combining them in innovative ways to prepare you for careers in areas of local, national and international government; education and research; consultancies; community organisations or public relations.
Work-Integrated Learning
You can enhance your employment prospects and consolidate your knowledge and skills through an industry placement unit. Depending on the major sequences you choose to study, this option may be available in the final year of your course.
