Healthcare Science program structure

Two-year associate degrees are ideal for those hoping to kickstart their career in healthcare. These programs are excellent preparation for entry-level positions in the healthcare industry, and you can always transfer your credits if you decide to pursue a bachelor’s degree later down the line.

Bachelor’s degrees in healthcare science are usually studied over three or four years. The exact length of your program will depend on where you choose to study, and whether you complete a 12-month placement as part of your course. Industry internships are an unbeatable way to gain hands-on experience and network with professionals.

Bachelor’s degrees in the US follow the four-year liberal arts model. You’ll take a range of general education classes before declaring a major in health sciences at the end of your second year. Many students also choose to minor in a related field, like biology, physiotherapy, or social care, to take their learning to the next level.

If you’re hoping to land senior roles in healthcare environments, you might want to consider earning a postgraduate qualification. Master’s courses normally require one year of full-time study or two years of part-time learning. Research-based PhDs can add anywhere between four and seven years to your academic journey.

Teaching methods on healthcare science programs typically include lectures, seminars, tutorials, and workshops. Depending on the modules you choose, you might also attend clinical skills training practicals and complete clinical placements.

Healthcare science is a vast discipline with lots of elective modules, so customizing your program to suit your ambitions is simple. However, here are some of the core units delivered as part of most courses:

  • Healthcare science - an evidence-based approach
  • Critical and contemporary issues in healthcare science
  • Managing mental health
  • Human biology
  • Epidemiology and infectious disease
  • Introduction to public health
  • Medical ethics
  • Professional skills for healthcare settings
