Bachelor of Health Science (Health Services Management)

Why study the Bachelor of Health Science (Health Services Management)?

A Bachelor of Health Science from UWS opens up opportunities for work in many growing areas of healthcare services, in both clinical and non-clinical roles.

Health Services Management plays a vital role in society, in ensuring that public investment in health is well spent, and that private healthcare businesses deliver effective, efficient services. It puts management studies in the distinctive context of the health sector, and provides clinical understanding, management skills and knowledge of the healthcare system and policy development. You will build skills in managing people, resources and finances.
