Why study human health with us?

Health is one of Australia's fastest growing employment sectors. Graduates who understand the nature of the health problems global communities face, or would like to design effective healthcare approaches for an increasingly consumer-driven, ageing population, are in high demand.

The benefits of study with us include:

  • You have opportunities to engage with industry, such as interviewing health professionals and people with lived experiences in your classrooms, and network with our alumni from healthcare, commercial, government, and not-for-profit organisations at extra-curricular events.
  • You will graduate with the ability to navigate the complexity of health in different sociocultural, political and economic contexts, along with skills in critical thinking, complex problem solving, communication and empathy.
