Health Sciences

Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.)
Bachelor's degree

Improving health at population level via preventive and health promotion measures is at the heart of health sciences, which seeks to analyse and gain insights into factors that influence sickness and health as well as determining and evaluating, on the basis of this analysis, needs-based healthcare for the population.

With these aims in mind, the discipline of health sciences spans a number of academic areas, including occupational studies, epidemiology, health promotion, health economics and health policy, building on foundational disciplines such as medicine, sociology, psychology, ethics, economics, management, education science and communication studies. 

Our graduates are able and ready to take on and successfully and responsibly tackle a diverse range of project and management roles in health systems, health policy, and emerging health markets. The department works with numerous local, national and international partner organisations in the field.
