健康科学学士-公共卫生

公共卫生的重点是预防疾病，延长寿命和促进健康。如果您热衷于在医学，专职医疗或社会工作等领域从事临床工作，这是一个绝佳的选择。公共卫生专业将教您衡量，规划，管理和评估健康计划和服务，以预防疾病并促进社区的健康。您将学习各种健康学科和能力，包括生物医学，公共卫生，全球健康，健康研究方法，健康政策和专业实践（例如，健康法和道德规范），并获得深入的健康技能和知识以实现社区的积极变化。您将在第三年应用这些知识，在那里您将花费90个小时在澳大利亚大都会和农村地区的非临床健康相关组织中工作。
A Bachelor of Health Sciences from UQ equips you to make a difference to the lives of many, with a program created in consultation with the health industry. The degree includes study in biomedical sciences, public health, preventative health, the business of health and professional practice. It is also flexible, designed to prepare you for a clinical or non-clinical career. In your third year you'll undertake 90 hours of practical (non-clinical) placement to gain hands-on industry experience. For non-clinical students, it provides access to careers in the planning and delivery of efficient public health programs and policies, and enrolment in postgraduate degrees such as the Master of Public Health. Students seeking a clinical career may complete this program and then, subject to meeting entry requirements, enrol in a clinical postgraduate degree such as the Doctor of Medicine, Master of Occupational Therapy Studies or Master of Dietetics Studies. For students with provisional entry to the Doctor of Medicine, this is a recognised pathway, providing future medical practitioners with a solid grounding in biomedical sciences, public health, healthcare ethics, behavioural sciences and the healthcare system. <br><br>The Public Health specialisation will focus on the health of populations. This specialisation will teach you to measure, plan, manage and evaluate health programs and services to prevent illness and promote good health in communities. You will study a wide range of health disciplines and competencies including biomedical sciences, public health, global health, health research methods, health policy and professional practice (e.g. health law and ethics) and gain in-depth skills and knowledge in health to bring about positive changes in communities. You will apply this knowledge in your third year, where you will spend 90 hours on placement in non-clinical health-related organisations around metropolitan and rural Australia.
