Health and Community Studies
This well established course has just been up dated. It is
designed to meet the needs of those who want to work in
community health related areas.
Contemporary society is increasingly health-conscious and
with the development of diverse health related community
projects, employers welcome graduates with the knowledge
and skills to support and develop individual and community
health agendas. The course provides the opportunity to
analyse the concept of health and the factors that affect
health and well-being from a variety of perspectives.
The multi-disciplinary approach draws from academic
disciplines such as sociology, psychology and politics and
reinforces the understanding of diversity. Issues related
to community health and well-being are explored at
individual, group and national level. The program
explores the contemporary issues of evidence, research,
partnership, collaboration and teamwork. In addition to
the essential subject theory the course provides a
challenging yet supportive environment for personal
development and the development of essential skills valued
by employers. These include communication and
interpersonal skills, enhanced helping skills, problem
identification and solving skills, and the ability to work
productively as part of a team.
