Course Structure
Year 1 units provide a foundation in the life sciences and an introduction to community health care and management. In Year 2 students undertake core units in conjunction with elective units from one or more of the specialist streams - Bioscience, Health and Lifestyle or Business/Psychology. Some exercise science units are offered alternate years only (CXA301 Biomechanics, CXA337 Clinical Exercise Testing). In Year 3 students undertake four core units in conjunction with further elective units from one or more of the streams. It should be noted that some units are offered alternate years only and students should enrol in those units when offered, provided they have met the prerequisites. Overall students should take at least four units (and preferably six) from one specific stream.
The Bioscience stream provides an understanding of the structure and function of the human body, in both health and disease, and of the biochemical diagnosis of disease. The Health and Lifestyle stream provides students with effective and interactive communication skills and an understanding of Health promotion, community education and development and/or a range of units in exercise science and fitness. It also allows study of the patterns of health and health services in Australia. The Business/Psychology stream provides a background in fundamental business procedures and psychology of individuals, and in organisations and health care contexts.
