About

On behalf of our supportive and inspiring team of academics and professional staff, I welcome you to the School of Health Sciences.

You can make a difference in the lives of local and global communities with a career as a health professional from one of our many programs offered across three campuses: Callaghan, Ourimbah and Singapore.

When you study with us you will gain hands on learning experience including clinical placements in local and rural facilities, private and public hospitals, university run clinics and simulated learning experiences with state-of-the-art technology.   Graduating from one of our programs will prepare you for a rewarding career and maximise your employment prospects in growing industries.

More than 85% of our graduates find employment (QILT). As a health professions educator and education researcher myself, specialising in workplace learning and preparedness for practice, I am proud of the University's commitment to developing graduates who make a difference to the health outcomes of the communities they serve.

Our graduates are work-ready and in demand, having turned their passion for improving people’s health into highly sought-after professional skills. This pride extends to our globally recognised researchers whose projects are translated into real-world practice.

When you complete a Health Science program at the University of Newcastle you join an alumnus of well-respected clinicians and researchers practising here in Australia and around the world. We are driven by excellence in our disciplines and we are excited about the future. We welcome your interest to join and study a Health Science program with us.

Yours truly,
