About
The Bachelor of Health Sciences via the Diploma of Health Sciences is a direct pathway into the Bachelor of Health Sciences.
Take the first step toward your future by undertaking the Diploma of Health Sciences. This diploma is equivalent to the first year of an undergraduate degree and will introduce you to the fundamental concepts of health and wellbeing, evidence-based health practice and health systems.
If you successfully complete the diploma, you'll progress directly into the second year of the Bachelor of Health Sciences without losing any time, as you’ll receive credit for the units you complete in the diploma.
Once you enter the Health Sciences, you’ll build foundational skills through a set of core units, before broadening your knowledge via one of four interdisciplinary majors in coaching, counselling, digital health or health administration. You’ll master the fundamentals of human health and explore the social and societal factors that influence it, equipping you with the knowledge to make a meaningful impact on the health sector.
