Bachelor of Science (Population Health and Statistics)
Population Health And Statistics (UAC Code 757648)
The double major in Population Health and Statistics enables
students to pursue two options for their career or further study.
The combination of majors is particularly relevant for students
who may wish to work in the area of health surveillance, survey
work, research or health services planning. This combination
of study areas is unique to the University of Wollongong and
reflects an area of high demand in the population health field.
Entry Requirements / Assumed Knowledge
Domestic School Leavers are assumed to have completed at least
2 units of English at HSC level. International students are required
