Overview

Forge your path in health with UniSA Online’s Bachelor of Health Science. This is a three-year generalist degree that will provide a pathway into a diverse number of careers in the ever-growing healthcare and health services sectors. You’ll gain a holistic understanding of health, human biology, and the healthcare system. Study core courses in anatomy, social sciences, psychology concepts, health promotion, project management, and health research.

The Bachelor of Health Science is a flexible degree that allows you to undertake a range of specialisations in areas outside of the health field. Become a social media expert in health communications, develop healthcare marketing and communications campaigns, work as a health journalist, or specialise in health services in the criminal justice sector. You’ll also have the option to choose from a variety of electives in complementary areas such as Health Administration, Communication, and Ageing and Disability.

With a solid foundation in health, you’ll have the option to continue your studies in selected clinical fields and UniSA Allied Health degrees such as Physiotherapy, Medical Radiation, or Occupational Therapy.
