Bachelor of Arts / Bachelor of Health Sciences Conjoint - Anthropology

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 study topics ranging from human evolution and the development of human culture to aspects of modern society. Our courses include: Analysis of past human behaviour and culture through what has been left behind How humans have evolved and continue to respond to changing circumstances Cultures, societies and ways of life, ranging from tribal communities to postmodern societies Music and its social functions in different cultures and societies
