Bachelor of Arts / Bachelor of Health Sciences Conjoint - History

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.You can choose from courses which focus on a variety of themes, cultures, regions and time periods. You can study New Zealand history, Māori and Indigenous histories, European history, American history and the histories of Asia, Australia and the Pacific. You will learn both historical content and historical skills: critical and creative thinking, and the ability to research, assess, interpret and present historical information.
