Study Pathways - 2009The Bachelor of Health Sciences program provides students with an opportunity to study a wide variety of courses within the health sciences field. The program is structured so that students can orientate their choice of courses towards one, or two, of the following Study Pathways:
What if I want to keep my study pathway options open? What Level I courses should I select?
Variations on the Standard Pattern of EnrolmentAcceptable VariationsStudents can substitute units at a higher level for those at a lower level, i.e. units at level II can be counted in place of those at level I, and units at level III can be counted in place of those at either levels I or II. Unacceptable VariationsLanguage CoursesLanguage courses at levels II and III cannot normally be counted towards a Health Sciences degree - students have the option of enrolling in a Diploma in Languages in addition to their degree program. If you undertake a level I language course as part of the Bachelor of Health Sciences, and wish to continue with a language at levels II and III, you can apply to have the enrolment in the language course(s) transferred from the Bachelor of Health Sciences to the Diploma in Languages. You will then need to enrol in an additional 6 units of courses at level I towards the Bachelor of Health Sciences since level I language courses cannot be counted towards both your degree and the Diploma in Languages. Further details of the Diploma in Languages are available from The Faculty of Humanities and here. Other CoursesStudents may not count towards a Health Sciences degree any units at level III that have been presented as part of any other conferred degree. Students may not present courses towards the degree that have significant overlap/repetition of content. What Courses Do I Select if I Want to Study a Postgraduate Program?Students wishing to gain entry into a postgraduate professional program (for example postgraduate medicine, physiotherapy, chiropractic, nutrition and dietetics) are strongly encouraged to consult the academic advisers for the program of study into which they wish to gain entry for any pre-requisites for specific postgraduate programs. The Health Sciences Academic Program Advisers will then be able to provide advice on the best combinations of courses within the Health Sciences program to meet these requirements.
