Why study health at RMIT?

Open your world to greater career options at a global university that supports you at every step.

Gain hands-on skills in immersive, purpose-built labs and health facilities

Learn best practice with industry-developed courses

Discover health

Health undergraduate courses have recently updated with new majors and minors, as well as new first year foundational subjects.  

Called the foundations in health, these subjects are designed to help you learn the fundamentals of human anatomy and physiology, as well as develop your communication skills and professional skills. They will also introduce you to factors that impact the health of individuals, particularly our First Nations people. This common first year block gives you the skills to pursue a broad range of careers and makes it easier than ever to transfer into another course in health or biomedical sciences.
