Summary of the program
The underlying objectives of the four-year B.Sc. in Health Science program are (1) to provide graduates with a foundation in the basic sciences which underpin knowledge application for a career in health practice, health product production and distribution, or health research, and (2) to offer a degree that includes the educational prerequisites to qualify for entry into a qualified health profession school (e.g., Medicine or Physiotherapy), a regulated alternative complementary medical college (e.g., Traditional Chinese Medicine or Naturopathy), or into post-graduate studies and research.
The B.Sc. in Health Science is designed around a core of required basic science and health science courses, complemented by health science and open electives that not only provide graduates with a solid science foundation but, most importantly critical health research, communication, and management skills for future success.
The degree will provide graduates with the knowledge and applied skills to enable careers in health care and research practice, as well as providing the prerequisites to qualify for entry into health professional schools or graduate studies.
The B.Sc. in Health Science program prepares students for public and private sector careers in health research, health practice, health product production and distribution, and health management, and for entry into schools of health or graduate studies.
