Welcome to Health Science The health science program provides the scientific underpinnings of health, principles of business and field work within the health industry. It draws on the strength and reputation of UWA in the medical sciences and population health. The course produces graduates with generic and multi-disciplinary skills and knowledge that are in demand by the health industry. In choosing to undertake this course, we think you have a made a wise and also a bold decision. A wise decision because this course is special in its structure and in the opportunities with which it provides you. A bold decision because there is no doubt that such a course will place special demands on you as you progress through its various phases. To become a UWA health science graduate, you will need to work hard and consistently. You will find some areas more challenging than others, but we hope that the time you spend here at UWA and the variety of academic activities will be enjoyable and fulfilling. We believe that the UWA Health Science degree provides a strong foundation on which to establish a successful and interesting career. Many paths should be open to you when you graduate, ranging from basic and applied scientific research to health promotion administration and policy formation. We hope that you will continue the proud tradition of UWA by making a significant impact on your chosen field.

INFORMATION FOR NEW STUDENTS

The University recognises that transition into university life can be challenging for new students. The website http://www.transition.uwa.edu.au/ contains everything you need to know about starting your studies and life at UWA, including information on the UniStart, UniSkills, UniMento and UniAccess programmes.

UniStart is all about getting you settled into uni life and feeling confident about your ability to succeed at university. They offer a comprehensive orientation programme that is then followed up by linking students to other services and supports that help them get connected to the UWA community.

UniSkills offer to help make the transition to university study as smooth and as enjoyable as possible. Are you a first-year student who comes from a rural school, or a school where not many people come to UWA? Are you an international student? Perhaps you are going to be receiving Youth Allowance, Austudy, or some other kind of Centrelink payment whilst attending Uni? Maybe you are just returning to Uni after not studying for a while and will have significant family responsibilities whilst studying? These are only some of the many obstacles that may act as barriers to your transition into UWA. Take a look around the uniskills site to find out about joining the programme, and plenty more useful information.

UniMentor is open to all commencing undergraduate students at UWA. It aims to assist your transition to university life by matching students with mentors who can answer your questions. Your mentors are students in second year or above, studying the same or a similar course to you. UniAccess is UWA's Disability Office and offers services for students with a disability or medical condition. Please contact this office if you would like to discuss how you can best access anything from your course materials to campus buildings and activities. Please make contact well before your course begins if you require a specialised orientation, so that sufficient time can be set aside to plan for this. Enquiries should be directed to one of the Disability Officers either by phone on 6488 3809, 64887864 or by e-mail at [email protected].

GENERAL INFORMATION FOR STUDENTS Academic Conduct Essentials All newly enrolled students at UWA are required to complete a short compulsory online module called Academic Conduct Essentials (ACE) within the first 10 weeks of semester. ACE introduces students to essential knowledge regarding ethical scholarship, helps prepare them for the expectations of their university career and informs them of correct academic conduct. The unit can be accessed via WebCT (http://webct6.uwa.edu.au). The unit quiz must be completed with a mark of 80% or greater. Students may attempt the quiz as many times as they wish to gain the required pass mark. Completion of the unit will be recorded as an Ungraded Pass (UP) on students’ academic records. Non-completion (NC) within the required timeframe will also be documented on formal academic records. More information on ACE is available at http://ace.uwa.edu.au

Advanced Standing If you have previously undertaken courses in other Faculties or at other Institutions or Universities you may be eligible for advanced standing (credit). Contact the Sub Dean for more details. Approved Leave Students who do not intend to enrol for a particular period must apply for approved leave as soon as the student decides that they do not wish to enrol for a particular period or before the deadline for the receipt of applications. The procedure for applying for approved leave can be accessed at http://www.studentadmin.uwa.edu.au/welcome/approved_leave. You will receive a letter confirming the approval or otherwise of the leave. Reasons will be given in the event that the requested leave is not approved. International students are required to contact the International Centre to discuss visa and fee implications.

Calculator Policy Programmable Calculators, graphics calculators and calculators that have the capability to communicate with other devices are not permitted in tests and exams in the Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences. The approved list is monitored and updated by the Faculty of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics and can be accessed at http://www.ecm.uwa.edu.au/studentnet/exams/calculators Once you have obtained your calculator you must arrange to have an ‘approved’ sticker attached. These stickers cannot be removed and placed onto another calculator. Obtain your sticker for your calculator from the Faculty Office reception. Bring your student identification and calculator, and ensure you have your sticker by the time you have an examination or test.

Clearance Checks

Police Clearance All students must gain a National Police Certificate before commencement of the compulsory unit HSMD3316 Health Industry Practicum in the final year of the Bachelor of Health Science.

Working with Children Check The Working with Children (Criminal Record Checking) Act 2004 commenced on 1 January 2006. The Act aims to protect children from harm by providing that volunteers (including students on placement), paid and self-employed people who undertake child-related work (as defined in Section 6(1) of the Act) are subject to a compulsory criminal record check by way of an application for an Assessment Notice (WWC Check). Students must be willing to comply with the requirements of this check. Further information about the WWC Check is available at http://www.checkwwc.wa.gov.au/. A successful WWC Check results in a WWC Card which must be presented as requested when working in child-related environments. An unsuccessful WWC Check results in a Negative Notice which prohibits the holder from carrying out child-related work.

Complete withdrawal from course Students withdrawing completely from the course for which they have enrolled must notify the University. Students who repeatedly withdraw from a course will not be permitted to enrol in any course of the University without the special approval of the Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences. You should obtain an Application to Change Enrolment form from the Enquiry Counter in Student Administration (Hackett Hall), complete it and lodge it with Student Administration in accordance with the instructions on the form. Important information regarding the implications of total withdrawal for continuing study in the future is available at http://www.studentadmin.uwa.edu.au/page/14572. International students must contact the International Students Officer (6488 2259) to discuss the implications of total withdrawal. Check dates for course withdrawal.

Computing resources and facilities Computers and computer-based material provide access to resources such as the library, the web, units, learning material in some of the units and support for your word processing needs. All students are automatically provided with a basic student account which provides an email address through which important UWA information will be communicated. You MUST activate your account through the UWA Access Management System, Pheme, at www.pheme.uwa.edu.au. In addition, students enrolled in courses in the Faculty are provided with a Faculty account, which allows students to gain access to various computer facilities, see www.sph.uwa.edu.au/studentnet/computing If you have problems logging on to the web site please contact: Jeremy McGready - [email protected] If you plan to buy a computer at home, recommendations can be obtained from Mr David Pitts, Manager, IT - Tel: 9346 7325; Email: [email protected]

If you believe your enrolment is incorrect you must contact the Manager (Student Affairs) in the Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences immediately. If your proposed enrolment does not comply with either the University General Rules, faculty-specific rules or otherwise contravenes a University policy; it may be altered by an authorised officer of the University. In most cases, you will be contacted to discuss the matter prior to any alteration being made to your enrolment.

Hints for planning your re-enrolment Course advisors are available to discuss your enrolment by appointment. To arrange an appointment, please email [email protected]. The Sub-Dean, Associate Professor Jane Heyworth, will hold at the end of Semester 2, 2011 a series of information sessions for re-enrolling students, including practical enrolment advice, unit selection and majors. Notification will be sent via student email. In the single degree, when you have completed units to the value of 48 points you are considered to be in level 2 and when you have completed units to the value of 96 points you are considered to be in level 3. Before entering level 2, you must identify your chosen majors, one of which is Public Health and the other is a science major. Students in the combined degree programme will also need to select their commerce or economics major/s. Most level 2 and level 3 units have pre-and co-requisites. You can only enrol in units for which you have passed the prerequisites. Check these carefully. Pre-requisites can be found in Appendices 2 – 8. To choose your units, it helps to read unit descriptions in the Undergraduate Handbook 2011, viewed at http://www.handbooks.uwa.edu.au/. Students may find it helpful to complete a checklist for their course progress (See Appendix 9). In the single degree, your enrolment may exceed 48 points but the Sub Dean (Health Science) must approve your overload, if it exceeds 6 points. If your enrolment includes quota-restricted units, please enrol in these unit(s) as per the procedure described under the heading ‘Quota-restricted Units’ in this Guide. Further information regarding enrolments can be found at ipoint. http://ipoint.uwa.edu.au

CROSS-INSTITUTIONAL ENROLMENT Students may be permitted to undertake studies on a cross-institutional basis at another post-secondary institution for credit to their degree course at this University. In the first instance, approval should be obtained from the Sub Dean and then from the institution at which they seek to enrol. Students should download an Application for Cross Institutional Enrolment Form from http://www.studentadmin.uwa.edu.au/page/8581 or obtain a hard copy from Student Administration (Hackett Hall). The completed form should be submitted to Student Administration. Be aware that in general, applications for cross-institutional enrolment are only approved in cases where an equivalent unit is not available at this University.

For further information and assistance: http://www.international.uwa.edu.au/studentnet/exchange

ASSESSMENT AND EXAMINATION Many units have a number of components (e.g. essays, mid-course and final examinations) which are assessed at different stages of the semester or year and which contribute to the final result. To complete a unit a student is required to meet the faculty’s requirements with respect to attending the prescribed lectures, tutorials and other sessions and to sitting examinations, to perform satisfactorily the prescribed work and to obtain an overall passing grade. Students whose attendance or work has not been satisfactory may be refused admission to the final examinations and be deemed to have failed.

Final Results (release of, not available or incorrect) Final results for units taken in undergraduate bachelor degrees are released immediately following the faculty’s Board of Examiners meeting; usually in July for first semester units and December for full year and second semester units. Final results for honours students are released in July and December. Final results for students who have taken deferred or supplementary examinations are usually released following the meetings of the relevant faculty’s Board of Examiners (usually in February). If a final result for a unit is unavailable it is reported as ‘not available’ (NA). Every effort to obtain the result is made by the Faculty for release at the next scheduled Board of Examiners meeting. When an incorrect result comes to light the mistake is rectified by the Faculty and ratified by the relevant Board of Examiners or Faculty Board, as appropriate.

Advice of Results Student results are available at StudentConnect (www.studentconnect.uwa.edu.au). If a student wishes to receive a hard copy of their results, they need to complete the Request for Hard Copy Documents form (available at http://www.studentadmin.uwa.edu.au/page/52730) and forward it to Student Administration. Students who have outstanding debt/s to the University will not have their results released until all outstanding debt/s have been paid. Once all debt/s have been cleared (which may take up to five days) results will become available at StudentConnect. Examination Timetables The University produces individual exam timetables for each student which contains the dates, times and venues for the examinations. Students access their timetable online via StudentConnect. Students are responsible for consulting their timetable to determine their schedule for examinations.

If you have two exams timetabled simultaneously your personal timetable should state ‘TBA – you have an exam timetable clash”. You must sit both exams on the same day. Please contact Student Administration as soon as you become aware of the clash.

Missed Examinations If you do not attend an examination you are recorded as absent and given a zero mark for that examination. In extenuating circumstances (medical emergency or genuine error), the Sub Dean (Health Science) may permit you to sit the examination at another time. If you miss an examination, report immediately to the Manager, Student Administration (Hackett Hall)

Alternative Arrangements for Central Examinations Alternative examinations’ is the term used at UWA to describe reasonable adjustments as it relates to the exam process. Alternative examinations are available for students with ongoing, chronic or long-term disabilities and medical conditions. Alternative examinations aim to reduce the functional impact of the student’s condition on their exam performance. Alternative exams do not involve a lowering of the academic standard required to pass. Special arrangements may be made for students requiring alternate arrangements for examinations on grounds of disability. The Commonwealth Disability Standards for Education (2005), which fall under the Commonwealth Disability Discrimination Act 1992, refer to ‘reasonable adjustments’. Reasonable adjustments are broadly defined in Part 3 as; ‘a measure or action taken by an education provider that has the effect of assisting and student with a disability’.

At UWA, only students who are registered with the Disability Office can apply for and receive alternative exam arrangements. When discussing alternative examinations, it is important to clarify the impact of the condition on the student’s performance in an exam situation. Arrangements are designed to redress this issue, not ongoing learning needs. You only need to apply once for the initial set of alternative exam arrangements. These remain with the student as they progress through UWA. If the student’s condition changes and the current set of alternative exam arrangements are unsuitable, the student will need new alternative exam arrangements that reflect this change. The student must discuss these with the Disability Officer, who forwards the new recommendations to the Faculty for approval.

Supplementary Assessment Supplementary assessment may be available in some units if the final unit result is between 45 – 49%. The availability (or otherwise) of supplementary assessment is noted in the unit guidebook or assessment mechanism statement. The dates for the supplementary examination period are noted on the student administration website.

Grades and Marks The following classifications are used for final results:

Grade Name Code Standard Mark Range

Higher Distinction HD 80 – 100

Distinction D 70 – 79

Credit Pass CR 60 – 69

Pass P 50 – 59

Ungraded Pass UP

Fail N+ 45 – 49

Fail N 0 – 44

Ungraded Fail UF

Passed Supp PS

Failed Supp FS

PROGRESS STATUS

Satisfactory Progress Satisfactory progress is defined as passing units with a point value of at least 50 per cent of the total points value of units in which the student is enrolled (excluding units withdrawn without penalty) plus any approved faculty requirements. A student who has not made satisfactory progress in the course may not re-enrol unless the Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences grants permission. A student who does not make satisfactory progress has ‘unsatisfactory progress’ recorded on their academic record. Good Standing: This status is allocated to students who have made satisfactory progress. On probation: You will be assigned a progress status ‘On Probation’ in your first academic year if you fail to make satisfactory progress (that is, pass units to a value of at least half the total value of units in which you remained enrolled after the final date for withdrawal without academic penalty) and have a weighted average of at least 30 per cent. If you are assigned ‘On Probation’ you will be permitted to re-enrol but may have conditions attached to your enrolment.


16

Suspended: If you are suspended, you will not normally be permitted to re-enrol in the Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences for at least one year. You will be assigned the progress status of ‘Suspended’ if (a) you are in your first academic year and fail to make satisfactory progress (that is, pass units to a value of at least half the total value of units in which you remained enrolled after the final date for withdrawal without academic penalty) and have a weighted average of less than 30 per cent. (b) All other students who have failed more than 50 per cent of the points undertaken in that year. Excluded: This is applied to students who have previously been allocated a progress status of ‘Suspended’ or ‘On Probation’ and fail to make satisfactory progress in terms of the following: Pass units to a value of at least half the total value of units in which you remained enrolled after the final date for withdrawal without academic penalty. Students who are excluded are not permitted to return to the course, but may apply to transfer to another course at UWA.

Appeals against Progress Status This is governed by University General Rule 2.1.31 in the Student Procedures, Rules and Policies section of this handbook. See also Appeals Process in the Case Where There is Dissatisfaction with an Assessment Result and/or Progress Status at http://www.secretariat.uwa.edu.au/page/20777.

Options after Unsatisfactory Progress in a Combined Course A student who has made unsatisfactory progress in a combined course has the option to apply to either faculty involved for a place in a single degree programme. This is done by submitting a letter to the relevant faculty outlining your request.

SCIENCE MAJORS Descriptions of each of the science majors and how they relate to public health is provided in appendix 1. The outline of the units for each science major is provided in appendix 2. Appendix 3 shows the prerequisites for each of the relevant science units. Descriptions of these units are available in the Undergraduate Handbook 2011, viewed on the web at http://www.handbooks.uwa.edu.au.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATION Special Consideration is the means by which you can notify the Faculty about significant and unforseen factors that may have interfered with you academic preparation or performance. Consideration is normally given for substantial personal illness, the death or serious illness of someone close to you, or other significant circumstances that compromise your studies. Special Consideration can be used to request deferred or rescheduled exams, as well as to seek consideration of your circumstances in your academic assessment. Additional information can be found at http://www.studentservices.uwa.edu.au/page/95004. Applying for special consideration will not save you from the consequences of poor academic preparation. Applications must be well grounded and be accompanied by appropriate documentary support such as a medical certificate for illness. The final decision rests with the Faculty. In order to apply for special consideration you must complete the Special Consideration Application form which is available to download from the Student Administration forms web page (http://www.studentadmin.uwa.edu.au/welcome/forms) or you can collect one from the Faculty Office reception. Applications must be well grounded and accompanied by convincing supporting documentation. You need to obtain a signature from either a medical practitioner, councillor, Guild Education Officer, College Principal, Associate Dean (Student Affairs), or any other qualified person able to provide an objective assessment of your circumstances, in the section dealing with the report to support your application. Once the form is completed and signed by yourself, submit the form to the Faculty Office. You may be asked to attend an interview with the Associate Dean (Student Affairs) or Sub Dean to discuss your situation. To apply for Special Consideration, obtain a Special Consideration form from: Http://www.studentadmin.uwa.edu.au/page/8581 or obtain a hard copy from Student Administration and clearly indicate on the form what it is you wish to do. For more information about what special consideration is or how it works see the following website; http://www.studentservices.uwa.edu.au/__data/page/17458/special_consideration_pamphlet.pdf All BHlthSc, BHlthSc/BComm and BHlthSc/BEcon students are requested to submit their special consideration forms to either the Sub Dean (Health Sciences) or Student Affairs Office at Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences which is located at 328 Stirling Highway, Claremont.

Health Problems Health problems can have an adverse effect on your performance. See your doctor and explain your difficulties. If you don’t have a doctor, see the medical staff at the University Medical Centre on the main campus. They are experienced in dealing with students and familiar with University procedures. If you are going to apply for special consideration on the basis of your health problems you will need to obtain a doctor’s certificate and attach it to your application or ask your doctor to complete the medical part of the Special Consideration Form. If as a result of your health problems, some adjustment needs to be made to your course you will need to see the Associate Dean (Student Affairs) as soon as possible.

DIPLOMA IN MODERN LANGUAGES You may enrol in the Diploma in Modern Languages (offered by the Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences) and the Bachelor of Health Science concurrently. Application for the concurrent course must be made through the Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences. Be aware that students in concurrent courses may only take a full-time load and may therefore have to reduce their enrolment in one of the two courses to less than 48 points. Applications for concurrent enrolment from students in combined courses will not be approved. Contact the Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences for advice.

APPENDIX 1: DESCRIPTION OF SCIENCE MAJORS Below are descriptions of each of the science majors as well as how they relate to the public health major. It is important to stress the knowledge and skills you gain in your chosen one science major are transferable to many other areas. Hence your area of study will not necessarily preclude employment that might be identified for another major. For example, we have graduates with an anthropology major working in breast cancer research and another with a pharmacology major working in mosquito ecology. All of you will have a fundamental knowledge of biology, an ability to source, read and critique scientific literature and to apply the scientific method to a range of issues.

Anatomy & Human Biology

Anatomy & Human Biology is the integrated study of humans and includes the disciplines of human biology, anatomy and cell biology. Human biology examines how the biology of humans is influenced by their natural and cultural environments; anatomy examines how the body is organised and how structure is related to function. It examines the body at the microscopic level and; cell biology examines structure and function of human cells and tissues. The holistic approach to the study of humans ranges from evolutionary study with fossil material to molecular biological studies of cell function. Studies in Anatomy & Human Biology begin with the biology of humans. Learning diversifies into form and function, evolution, genetics, ecology, reproduction, neuroscience, nutrition and health. Throughout your studies you will use the latest methods of biological research such as molecular biology and computer assisted measuring techniques. There is a specialist facility for the dissection of human material. In addition there are excellent laboratory facilities for histology, tissue culture, radioisotope work, and computer image analysis. Anatomy and Human Biology integrates with the public health major as understanding of the biology, structure and functions of human and how we have evolved is fundamental to understanding, researching and managing health of populations. For example understanding reproduction in important for understanding the impact of environmental and genetic influences on the growing foetus. Genetics and molecular biology are fundamental tools to improving our understanding of disease process. Ecological public health is an emerging areas where it is recognised that we need to understand the impact of changes to ecological system on health.

Students who have chosen this major have found employment in health promotion, health research and health policy.

Anthropology

Anthropology is relevant to your everyday life. It is the only discipline that offers a conceptual scheme for the whole context of the human experiences. Anthropology requires a curiosity about all of humanity. You need a willingness to see the world imaginatively through the categories that other peoples construct and use, to make sense of their experiences. Anthropology teaches you diversity of skills, such as how to live and work in a multicultural society. You gain a fresh perspective on humankind. You are able to explore the global scene, review fascinating films, and question "taken for granted" beliefs. Studies include the exploration of diverse cultures. Within these cultures you focus on religion, politics, ethnographic film, sex, aggression, migration and identity. Legal, social, medical, and applied anthropology and sociology are investigated. Public Health is about what we do as a society to promote health and prevent ill-health. There are many determinants of health, including a range of social, cultural, environmental, political and biological factors. Hence the understanding of societies and cultures provided by the Anthropology major melds well with the public health major. Students may find employment in areas of indigenous health and migrant and refugee as well as in health research (in particular qualitative research), health promotion and health administration and policy.


29

Biochemistry

Biochemistry is the study of biological processes at a molecular level. It aims to explore, unravel and understand every aspect of the structure and function of living things at the molecular level. Biochemistry deals with the way in which molecules are organised and interact to achieve the functions of the living cell and of the organism. Biochemistry investigates and answers many questions. What are genes? How do hormones work? How do insects become resistant to insecticides? How do you read genetic code? Why are enzymes so extraordinarily good at speeding up the biochemical reactions? Studies in biochemistry begin in Level 2 covering information (DNA), energy, and structure. Topics covered include genetics, molecular biology, metabolism, and cell biology. You then diversify your studies and develop analytical and laboratory skills such as genetic manipulation.

Biochemistry provides students with a strong basis to understanding health and disease process. It is a very good basis for addressing issues such as the role of nutrition in promoting health and preventing ill health. It is a potential pathway for becoming a toxicologist that is, a health scientist who examines the nature of the adverse effects of hazardous substances on humans and assesses the probability of their occurrence. Understanding topics such as molecular biology and metabolism will assist in assessing the impact of hazardous substances on health, while the public health major provides the skills to assess levels and probability of exposure as well as management strategies. Currently in Australia there are many employment opportunities for toxicologists either with Commonwealth or State Governments or environmental consulting companies.

Computer Science

Computer science is the application of information technology to industry and commerce. It is by the triumphs of information technology that the public appreciates computer science. Information Technology is shaping our futures. This technology forms the hub of every organisation, with uses in a multitude of areas, from simple accounting databases to complex operating systems. Information Technology provides you with the expertise in programming and in-depth knowledge of the methods involved in performing computations and processing data with computers. Studies begin with an introduction to Computer Science and Information Technology. Studies continue into data structures, and object-oriented programming using languages Java and C++, human computer interaction and windows applications under a variety of operating systems. At Level 3 you can choose from a range of relevant options such as databases, networks, concurrent systems, security and privacy, and also carry out a team project.

Health Informatics is an emerging and very important area of Health. Health Informatics covers a broad range of topics including health data collection, encoding, management, linkage, geocoding, analysis, interpretation and dissemination. Due to the sensitivity of personal health information, legal, ethics, privacy and confidentiality requirements are very important.

Already, professionals with training in Information Management, Computer Science, Mathematics and Statistics work alongside Health Scientists, Health Administrators and Legal specialists to build and manage an efficient evidence-based health system. Graduates with training and knowledge in more than one area, who can speak a common language, especially those who can bridge the Information Systems/ Health Science gap are especially well placed for careers in Health Informatics in the 21st Century.

Genetics

Genetics is trans-disciplinary revealing many secrets about humans, animals and plants. Depending on your own personal interests you can explore the science of genetics in a diversity of fields. Genetics is concerned about the study of DNA and its expression, be it a genetic trait that causes human disease, a rare plant that lives only in an isolated spot, or a desirable characteristic found in a domestic animal for use in agriculture. Genetics is cross-disciplinary, all biological science – such as botany, zoology, microbiology, human biology, pathology and medicine – cover at least some aspects of genetics, so that our understanding is advancing as a great pace and along a wide range of fronts. For a major in genetics, studies begin with biology, chemistry, and mathematics. A major in genetics requires studies in molecular biology and molecular genetics. You can then specialise your study to biochemical and cellular genetics, evolution genetics, agricultural genetics, or medical genetics.

Genetics melds very well with public health, particularly as we search for genetic causes of disease, explore environment – gene interactions on health, evaluate screening for genetic causes of disease and evaluate new genetic technologies. Importantly as a society we need to consider the ethical and legal implications of this work. Graduates may find employment in health research and health policy, and with some additional training, genetic counselling


30

Geography

Geography aims to understand the processes that form the physical and cultural environments; what people gain through organising their activities; and the complex interplay among environments, environmental processes, human activities and social and political objectives. A central theme of Geography is the concern with the issues related to global environmental change and how this relates to societal function, expectations, and futures. Technological developments such as remote sensing and computing have made it possible to take a global perspective on these issues, giving Geography an important place in an Earth System Science view of the Earth, its problems and potential solutions Studies begin with the investigation of conservation, biodiversity, and global warming. You investigate the use and misuse of water resources; land degradation and rehabilitation; the influence of politics and capital on land use; mineral exploration; and the social and economic wealth of nations. Studies then diversify into geographic information systems; erosion and deposition; Third World developments; regional planning; Asia-Pacific change and development; environmental planning and management; and environmental change. Students with a geography major are sought after in many areas of health planning and policy. Tools such as geographic information systems are very valuable in public health in mapping disease and potential risk factors. Graduates may also find employment in health promotion, where we try to plan our environments so that people may lead healthier lives. For example, we can plan our communities so that they promote physical activity.

Microbiology

Microbiology is the study of micro-organisms that include bacteria, viruses, protozoa, algae, and fungi. These organisms are extremely important in our everyday lives. Some are responsible for a significant proportion of the diseases affecting not only humankind but also plants and animals; others are vitally important in the maintenance and modification of our environment; still others play an essential role in industry, where their unique properties have been harnessed in the production of food, beverages and antibiotics Microbiology provides many answers that have practical implications. How the immune system may be modulated to protect against disease. How biotechnology can be used for the economic production of enzymes and pharmaceuticals. How to prevent and treat infectious disease, and how to combat antibiotic resistance. Studies in microbiology begin at Level 2, with an introduction to structure, reproduction, and classification of bacteria, viruses, and other micro-organisms; metabolism and genetics; basic laboratory techniques; infection and host resistance. Studies then diversify to allow you to explore areas of interest. They include mycology, industrial microbiology, epidemiology, immunology, environmental topics, and infectious disease. Students with a major in microbiology can work in the a range of public health areas; understanding the risk factors for and the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases, investigating food borne disease outbreak; preventing the transmission of blood borne viruses and promoting sexual health; protecting of water sources and evaluating the risks associated with recycled water; and the development of vaccines.

Pathology (Q)

Pathology seeks the causes and reasons for whatever interferes with biological well-being. Pathology investigates and understands biological abnormalities, especially in human disease, and the mechanisms an organism may employ to defend itself against the harm it must encounter throughout its life. The focus is mammalian disorders, various human diseases, and defence mechanisms employed against environmental insults. Studies in pathology begin at Level 3 with pre-requisites in Anatomy & Human Biology, Microbiology, and Biochemistry. Pathology is the diverse study of disease processes, defence reactions, cellular injury, immune reactions, cancer, and medical genetics. Investigation techniques require sophisticated technology and a ready grasp of biological and physical sciences. Pathology and Public Health majors provide students with a very sound basis for working in health research, such as research on cancer, cardiovascular disease or diabetes. Understanding disease processes also allows us to better understand ways to prevent and manage these diseases. Graduates have found work at the WA Institute for Medical Research, The Cancer Council WA and the Department of Health.


31

Pharmacology

Pharmacology is the science of how drugs work, the effects they have and the problems they can cause. It investigates actions of pharmaceutical, recreational, and illicit drugs. Pharmacology provides an understanding of the properties of existing drugs, effects particular chemical substances exert, and the strengths and weaknesses of drugs. It explores systemic, as well as neural effects. Ever wonder why taking some medicines makes you feel hung-over? What effect does the consumption of alcohol have on medicinal substances? Pharmacology can help you answer these and many other questions. Studies begin at Level 2 with investigation of drug actions. Modes of absorption, chemical interactions, localised and systemic effects, removal from the body system, and long-term effects are all investigated. Pharmacology also provides the opportunity to explore toxicology of foreign chemicals in the body. Within this area you investigate toxins, pollutants and foreign chemicals in our environment and their impact on humans. Pharmacology is an excellent basis for becoming a toxicologist. It provides the skills to assess the absorption, distribution and excretion of hazardous substances on health while the public health major provides the skills to assess levels and probability of exposure as well as management strategies. In addition, with the public health major, it provides a sound basis for employment in evaluating new drug and health technologies within the pharmaceutical industry. Graduates could also find work in developing policy and administering regulatory controls for medicines including drugs of dependence, therapeutic goods and poisons. There are also opportunities in health promotion targeted at reducing drug and alcohol consumption.

Physiology

Physiology is the study of how complex living organisms, such as humans, work. It involves an in-depth understanding of body function. Physiology examines life from the molecular and cellular levels, to the integrated functioning of organ systems. It understands the basic living organism to make sense of the more complex organisms. Studies begin at Level 2 with an introduction to the way living cells and organisms’ function, mechanisms of growth, signalling between cells, cell division, and cellular movement. There is a strong emphasis on laboratory work, so you can explore the theories that you learn. Studies then focus on the human body system. You diversify your study to look at biophysics, neurophysiology, control mechanisms, the way systems integrate, neuroscience, and cell biology. Physiology and Public Health majors provide students with a very sound basis for working in health research, such as research on cancer, cardiovascular disease or diabetes. Understanding disease processes also allows us to better understand ways to prevent and manage these diseases. It also is another pathway to understanding the nature of the adverse effects of hazardous substances on humans and to work in the area of health risk assessment. Physiology provides the skills to impact of hazardous substances on health, while the public health major provides the skills to assess levels and probability of exposure as well as management strategies.

Psychological Studies

Psychology is a challenging and extremely wide-ranging discipline, involving a number of scientific techniques, and touching almost every aspect of our daily lives. It is the systematic study of mental processes, based on observations of behaviour in humans and other animals Psychology endeavours to answer many questions. Can panic be controlled? Why do people get themselves tattooed? Can animals reason? To what extent is memory influenced by racial stereotypes? What is schizophrenia? Is mental illness a state of mind or chemical imbalance? Studies cover the areas of memory, perception, learning, motivation, personality, behaviour, and development. Right from the beginning you learn scientific measurement techniques and how to interpret the information collected.

A current health priority is the issue of mental health. Studies in psychology and public health together will equip graduates with the knowledge and skills to address this challenging issue. A core area of public health is the promotion of healthy behaviours and psychology provides strength in understanding human behaviour, which in turn can be applied to developing health promotion strategies. Health Administration and managing large workforces, as an area of employment for health science graduates would be enhanced by an understanding of human psychology.


32

Sport Science, Exercise and Health

People who study Human Movement want to understand how the human body performs in sport and everyday life. Movement is an integral part of every person's life. It is the way we get around, communicate, perform simple and complex tasks, and ultimately, the way we play an integral and meaningful role within the community. Human Movement can unlock the answers to many questions. What enhances performance of elite athletes? How can we overcome injury? Does exercise play a role in stress management? Do community attitudes affect adherence to recreational programs? What is preventative health care? Does physical education have a role in the academic development of a child? Studies begin with the introduction to the biological and behavioural basis of human movement. You then learn motor control and development in learning; and mechanical, physiological, and psychological processes, in exercise and sport. You can then specialise your study in children's growth and development, biomechanical analysis techniques, scientific training principles, bioenergetics and nutrition, psychology, sociology, management and marketing, rehabilitation and disability. Human Movement and Public Health fit nicely together to lead to employment opportunities in health promotion, in particular promoting physical activity and addressing the major health issue of obesity, in both the public and private sectors. In addition, injury is a major public health issue and the knowledge from both majors can be applied in the injury research and management. It may also be a good foundation for employment in occupational health.
