Academic Program Advisers
If you need general advice on academic matters in relation to the Bachelor of Health Sciences Program, contact one of the Academic Program Advisers. They are able to advise you on course choice, prerequisite courses for majors, and study pathways suitable for specific careers and postgraduate study.
Before meeting with a Program Advisor, students must read the documents and website pages in Planning Your Degree.
