The Bachelor of Health Science/Bachelor of Business at Swinburne University of Technology is a double degree that enables students to develop a unique skill set across both health and business domains, providing strong foundations for diverse career opportunities. Across four years of full-time study in Melbourne, students engage with core units of study in public health sciences, such as health promotion, epidemiology, and community health, alongside comprehensive business topics like management, marketing, and entrepreneurship.
This dual qualification is structured to maximise breadth and depth; students enrol in specified units of study each semester, accumulating credit points toward graduation as per standard Australian undergraduate frameworks. Electives allow for specialisation according to interests in particular aspects of health or business. As students progress, they have the opportunity to undertake capstone projects that integrate learning from both disciplines, drawing on real world scenarios. Work-integrated learning components may be included where available, particularly within business studies, connecting students with industry experience and professional networks relevant to Australia's dynamically evolving health and business sectors.
Graduates emerge with essential skills in research, critical analysis, strategic planning, communication, and leadership, preparing them to address health challenges from both scientific and commercial perspectives. The course particularly suits those aspiring to work in roles bridging public health and business, such as health management, health-focused entrepreneurship, consultancy, and policy development. International students should confirm entry requirements, including English language proficiency, and are eligible, subject to current Australian policy, for work rights of 48 hours per fortnight during study and up to two years post-graduation through the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485).
It typically takes 4 years, with intakes in Semester 1 (Feb/Mar), Semester 2 (Jul).
