Stage2 - Diploma of Health Sciences - Health Sciences, Leading to Bachelor of Science in Health Sciences

Program Overview

Students who have already completed Year 12 (or equivalent) may start with the Stage 2 Diploma, which has the same course content and structure as year one of the corresponding Curtin University undergraduate degree. Upon completion of your Diploma, you will progress directly into the second year of your Curtin University Bachelor's degree program.


Stage2 - Health Sciences (Diploma of Health Sciences)
The Diploma of Health Sciences is a highly flexible pathway which can be tailored to your individual needs and areas of interest. This level of flexibility may increase your employment opportunities and is an excellent choice if you are interested in health administration and/or health management.
Health Science graduates have successfully entered other postgraduate programs within the same field.


Leading to: Bachelor of Science - Health Sciences
This multidisciplinary course will help you begin your public health career, where you'll work to achieve better health through the prevention of disease and disability at the community or whole population level, rather than just working with individuals.

You'll learn about how social, economic and environmental factors affect health and wellbeing, and choose from a broad range of units to begin building your public health career. This includes units focusing on big data and health, epidemiology and biostatistics, healthcare systems in Australia and health promotion planning.

Due to the range of units, this course also acts as a pathway into other health courses with more competitive admission criteria, including pharmacy, speech pathology, physiotherapy or occupational therapy.


Major: Health Sciences
This specialisation lets you combine studies in public health disciplines including health promotion, epidemiology and biostatistics, environmental health, occupational health and safety, and global public health administration with a range of optional units. Career outcomes are diverse and you'll be able to tailor your learning to suit the healthcare career of your choice.

  • Apply discipline knowledge, understand its theoretical underpinnings and ways of thinking; extend the boundaries of knowledge through research
  • Apply logical and rational processes to analyse the components of an issue; think creatively to generate innovative solutions
