Study Health Sciences in Australia
Curtin University,
Division of Health Sciences, is one of the most comprehensive health
campuses in the South-East Asian region.
The Health Sciences portfolio includes laboratory-based,
clinical, rehabilitation and socio-behavioural health, postgraduate
courses. Recognising that the study needs of students are diverse in
our postgraduate courses, the entry criteria, outcomes and modes of
delivery are varied to better match student needs, experience and
circumstances. Many of our courses are offered through distance
education for students who would find attending oncampus classes
difficult. Innovative use is made of technologies, both on and off
campus, to facilitate access to study by busy professionals and people
in other pressing occupations.

GRADUATE
ENTRY MASTERS
The physical
therapies at Curtin have developed graduate entry masters programs for
graduates from health disciplines who are looking to change their career
direction. A major reason for initiating these programs is community
demand for more occupational therapists, physiotherapists and speech
pathologists. The programs are completed in two years full-time study. Entry to the programs is competitive. Applications are assessed on past academic achievement and
work experience. Bridging assistance may be available where students
need assistance with a study area.
