Your health career starts here

When you study a health-related degree at Curtin University, you’ll get to work with professional practitioners in real settings, with real patients, to ensure you graduate with a competitive edge.

Throughout your study, you’ll complete around 1,100 hours of supervised placements in hospitals and community settings. You’ll even get the opportunity to help elite athletes, such as the Australian men’s field hockey team.

By the time you graduate, you’ll have the hands-on experience you need to begin a rewarding health career.
