The Bachelor of Health (BHlth) is a three-year undergraduate degree that gives you expertise in health services, health policy and strategy, social health, and population health in New Zealand and beyond. It will prepare you for a rewarding career contributing to the promotion of good health and wellbeing in our communities.
A feature of this degree is that it's cross-disciplinary, meaning you'll be encouraged to study and work with subject areas outside health. Design your degree around your interests.
Study through a range of blended learning opportunities—combining online digital media with classroom teaching, followed by a research project or internship in your final year.
With a growing population, New Zealand healthcare services need a range of skilled people from health promoters and policy analysts to health data management experts and health advisers.
