Welcome to the School of Health Sciences. We have so many different and exciting areas of health for you to choose from. Ranging from the medical sciences with Laboratory Medicine and Medical Radiation Science, to the promotion of healthy lifestyles in our community with Nutrition Science and of course, working alongside elite athletes with Exercise and Sport Science. Looking to directly work with patients? Well look no further than our Allied Health Suite of Degrees (Physiotherapy, Speech therapy and Occupational Therapy).
