Bachelor of Arts / Bachelor of Health Sciences Conjoint - Gender Studies

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.Gender Studies covers a wide range of topics, such as politics, history, society, literature and education. Courses focus on areas such as gender and the home, workplace and public life, gender and violence, Pacific island cultures and gender relations, the portrayals of gender in popular culture and more. You can also take a range of courses from other subjects in Arts, including History, Anthropology and Sociology. You can take a major in Gender Studies as one of your two BA majors (a double major). You will need to pass at least 120 points (eight courses) towards each of your majors, including at least 45 points (three courses) at Stage III.
