| Degree/Award: | Double Degree |
The Bachelor of Social Sciences / Bachelor of Health Sciences is a combined degree program that is designed to provide a broad education for students interested in both the health sciences and social sciences. Students undertake core courses in both areas, and combine them with social science and health sciences electives in their area of interest. These complementary areas of study give students an understanding of the social structures and forces that affect health policy decisions and outcomes.
Graduates have the skills to consider health issues in the wider social context and to offer critical input into the development of public health policies and programs. The combined degrees provide a sound basis for postgraduate study in a number of areas, including graduate Medicine.
Students can present courses at level I and level II to both degrees, and present a separate level III for each degree, allowing them to complete both degrees in four years.
Students can complete the requirements of the Bachelor of Social Sciences and the Bachelor of Health Sciences and receive two degree parchments on completion of the four years of study. All students undertake a major sequence in public health and a major sequence in a social science discipline. Students will also have the option of taking an additional major sequence in health sciences and/or another social science (some overload may be required).
