Planning Your Degree: Pre-2008 StudentsImportant InformationThe following information is relevant to students who commenced their Bachelor of Health Sciences studies prior to 2008. Program information for students commencing their studies from 2008 onwards can be found here. From the beginning of 2008, the University will be changing to a uniform system of unit values for undergraduate courses. Beginning in 2008, courses will gradually be changed so that the unit value for a given course will be a multiple of 3 (i.e., each course will either have a value of 3, 6, 9 or 12 units). Revised Level 1 courses will be introduced in 2008. Revised Level 2, 3 and 4 courses will be introduced in subsequent years. Most students who commenced study prior to 2008 (i.e. 2007 or earlier), and have been studying full-time, are not likely to be affected by the revised course offerings, and will be able to complete their program of study without significant impact. Students who are in the position of having to repeat courses, however, may be affected by these changes. In addition, students who have studied part-time at some point during their program may be affected by the changes, and the extent of the impact will vary depending on when they started their program and how much of the program has been completed. Students are strongly encouraged to check information on the following websites to determine whether or not the planned course changes will affect your study plan.

Study Pathways: Pre-2008The 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:
Variations on Standard 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 Social Sciences by clicking 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.
