You're interested in health but not sure if you want to be a health promotion worker, dietician or health administrator. You like the idea of working in health promotion and community health. You want a degree with the flexibility to choose the subjects you like while keeping your options open. In this degree, you have elective subjects that let you study a range of health areas, as well as subjects from other FedUni faculties. Once you graduate, you'll be prepared for entry into postgraduate degrees like medicine, allied health and dietetics should you choose. You'll learn about the public health challenges facing our society today, how to influence health factors and the best techniques to improve health and wellbeing. You will focus on promoting the principles of health to communities, developing policies for healthy living and providing advice for health policy. You'll also learn the psychological, ethical and legal aspects of health to set you up for your future career. You'll focus on your favourite health sciences subjects, choosing from e-health and informatics, leading and managing health services, psychology and sport and exercise science, or the generic stream that you build yourself from available health subjects. Your choices are almost endless when it comes to electives, with options from any of FedUni's degrees. You may like to study business, digital media or Japanese. Or you may choose to learn about another area from our health sciences faculty.
