Faculty of Science, Health and Education
The Faculty of Science, Health and Education currently has over 2,000 students enrolled across two schools in both undergraduate and postgraduate programs. These include the:
Within these schools, the Faculty offers programs in science, education, engineering, paramedic science, health, sport, nursing and joint programs between all three faculties.
As a faculty we are forever increasing our comprehensive range of sustainable courses and programs that position our students for success in the global economy. Students are encouraged to undertake more than one science major and to study courses from other faculties. The emphasis is on producing graduates with greater career options by equipping them with a degree that is more attuned to the job market, rather than just traditional laboratory roles.
Faculty research allows our students to get involved in a wide range of available projects and research areas that can be undertaken by internal and external students at undergraduate, honours, masters and doctorate levels. The Faculty continues to develop new research groups in Genecology and Regional Sustainability, while developing strong programs within the health area as well as forming links with regional organisations.
Our academic staff are highly qualified and experienced with almost 80 percent of our staff holding a master's degree or above and over 50 percent with a PhD or above. The majority of our staff are involved in collaborative research projects within the community and around the world.
