Bachelor of Health - Physical Activity and Hauora

The Bachelor of Health is a three-year undergraduate degree that gives you expertise in health services, health policy and strategy, social health and population health in New Zealand and beyond. It will prepare you for a rewarding career contributing to the promotion of good health and wellbeing in our communities.

A feature of this degree is that it's cross-disciplinary, meaning you'll be encouraged to study and work with subject areas outside health.

Design your degree around your interests—choose from our wide range of courses and do a minor or major in another subject, or choose a conjoint degree and pursue two degrees at the same time.
Study through a range of blended learning opportunities—combining online digital media with classroom teaching, followed by a research project or internship in your final year.

With a growing population, New Zealand healthcare services need a range of skilled people from health promoters and policy analysts to health data management experts and health advisers.

Whatever your choice of major, you’ll develop an in-depth understanding of the field you’re passionate about, laying the groundwork for many possible careers or further postgraduate study.

Achieve the International Baccalaureate Diploma, or three GCE Advanced Level passes at C grade, or equivalent.
