The Bachelor of Health Science and Bachelor of Media and Communication program provides students with diverse skills, knowledge, and competencies to effectively communicate health-related messages, innovations, and products to broad audiences.
Students will investigate both Australian and global health issues while studying the physical, psychological, and social dimensions of health across different environments.
The program also covers evolving media landscapes by analyzing key topics including diversity, social media impact, data management, privacy concerns, automated content, and digital economics.
Nutrition professionals can develop initiatives and drive transformation in the food sector through advertising, research, and product innovation; dietitians design personalized nutrition plans and may practice in clinical settings spanning sports medicine, public wellness, elderly care, food marketing, sustainable agriculture, or scientific research.
Explore modern lifestyle-related illnesses, food accessibility, and sustainable practices. Our practical, laboratory-focused curriculum examines metabolic processes, biological and sociocultural influences on dietary habits, nutritional needs throughout life stages, and digital healthcare solutions.
Previous graduates have gained professional experience with technology firms and contributed through volunteer work with organizations like Richmond Football Club.
