    Entry recommendations

    To be prepared for this course, it helps to have:

    • an interest in health and how the body works
    • a genuine curiosity about science and research
    • good communication skills for working with people
    • a careful and organised approach to study

    What will you learn?

    The diploma year covers the basics of how the body works, health and wellbeing, and using data in health. Completing it usually lets you enter the bachelor degree partway through, with credit. The bachelor then looks at health across individuals, communities and populations, and lets you specialise in a major. Full time, the package usually takes four years.
