卫生科学专业是多学科学位，为公共卫生奠定了坚实的基础。您可以使用该学位在公共卫生领域工作，也可以作为其他卫生学位的途径，例如言语病理学，药学，物理疗法和职业疗法。公共卫生从业人员致力于在预防疾病和残疾的基础上实现更好的健康。公共卫生从业人员不是在一对一的基础上与个人客户一起工作，而是在社区或整个人口层面上工作。他们特别注意社会，经济和环境因素如何影响健康和福祉。可选单元还可以让您在其他健康领域追求自己的兴趣，或者选择一个主题进行深入学习。
The health sciences major is a multidisciplinary degree that gives a solid grounding in public health. You can use the degree to work in the area of public health or as a pathway into other health degrees, such as speech pathology, pharmacy, physiotherapy and occupational therapy. Public health practitioners work to achieve better health based on the prevention of disease and disability. Rather than working with individual clients on a one-to-one basis, public health practitioners work at the community or whole population level. They pay special attention to how social, economic and environmental factors affect health and wellbeing. Optional units also allow you to pursue your own interests in other health areas or to choose one subject for in-depth learning.
