Bachelor of Health (Honours)
Federation University Australia, Ballarat, VIC, Australia
About this program
The Bachelor of Health (Honours) is a one-year research-focused add-on for graduates who already hold a relevant bachelor's degree in a health-adjacent discipline such as nursing, allied health, sport science or psychology. Students undertake an independent research project alongside advanced coursework, sharpening research and analytical skills aimed at improving health outcomes for individuals and communities. It is designed as a stepping stone into higher research degrees such as a Master of Philosophy or Doctor of Philosophy rather than as a first professional qualification.
