Tuition fees, English and entry requirements can vary depending on international and domestic students. Usually, there are commonwealth supported places for domestic students in health science; however, this is done by a case by case basis. Current students of health science from other universities may wish to use credit points to avoid repeating some aspects of the health science course.
Why learn Health Science
The demand for health science professionals and graduates comes from an increase in the need for awareness and promotion at a global level. Many students want to make a difference in their community and aim to improve overall access and quality of care through a clinical or nonclinical role.
