Bachelor of Arts / Bachelor of Health Sciences Conjoint - Chinese

The University of Auckland

A BA/BHSc conjoint allows you to complete a BA and BHSc in less time than it would take to complete the two degrees separately. This conjoint draws upon the biological, social, and behavioural aspects of communities. The programme focuses on the determinants of health, health promotion, disease prevention, healthcare systems and health policy. Learn how to apply core principles of health promotion and disease prevention to specific health problems in the community – and choose from a wide range of subjects in the humanities, social sciences, cultures and languages. The BA/BHSc is a broad non-clinical programme of study that prepares graduates for a broad range of health-related careers. You could work in areas such as health promotion, health education, community health, counselling and health service planning. We advise that the University of Auckland is not involved in the employment of graduates and can make no guarantee of post-qualification registration or employment in New Zealand or any other country.In Chinese language courses you will learn conversational Chinese (Mandarin) and develop reading ability. We emphasise speaking and listening skills. You will also learn to read and write Chinese, as well as basic translation. Your language learning will be embedded in rich cultural contexts. To complement your Chinese language courses, you can study Chinese culture, film, media, politics, history and society. These courses are taught in English. We strongly encourage you to take advantage of the links between the University of Auckland and universities in Chinese-speaking locations. We also offer short-term language and culture study tours.
