School of Health Sciences

The School of Health Sciences offers courses of study in a diverse range of health-related discipline areas, along with innovative research opportunities.

Welcome

Welcome to the School of Health Sciences. The School of Health Sciences is the largest of three Schools within the Faculty of Health & Behavioural Sciences. We offer focussed courses of study in a diverse range of health-related discipline areas such as Medical & Health Science, Nutrition & Dietetics, Exercise Science & Rehabilitation, Public Health, and Occupational Health & Safety. Our programs allow students to choose between accredited courses that focus on developing profession-specific knowledge and skills, or courses that provide a more broadly based University education, focussing on human health, with all courses underpinned by rigorous science. Our dynamic research environment boasts cutting edge facilities staffed by internationally renowned researchers, with research ranging from molecular biology to applied human studies. We actively encourage students to become involved in research opportunities throughout the School, and encourage the pursuit of postgraduate research opportunities through Master of Science (Research) and PhD programs.

Please explore our website to gather more information about the innovative teaching and research opportunities within the School of Health Sciences.
