Prepare to work in Health Sciences or Medicine
This is an extensive foundation course preparing you for lifelong learning about human health, through further studies or work experience. Some graduates will find work in health support, and others in will undertake further studies training to be a practitioner.
So you want to work in Health and perhaps eventually become a Doctor?
This is an excellent opportunity for any individual in any part of the world to follow a career in medicine.
