Program description
In what ways are we uniquely human? By integrating studies of human biology, behavior, and education with contemporary social and ethical concerns, students in the Anatomy and Human Biology major delve into the intriguing question of human nature. A wide range of subjects are covered in the units, including human functional anatomy, genetics, variation, and evolution; reproduction, embryology, and growth; structure and function of the nervous system; and ecology, behavior, and biosocial interactions, among many others. From the most basic molecular level to more complex population-level analyses, you will delve into all of these.
Program structure
Level 1
Core (take all unites — 18 points):
- ANHB1101 Human Biology I: Becoming Human (6)
- ANHB1102 Human Biology II: Being Human (6)
- SCOM1101 Communicating Science (6)
Bridging:
Bridging units must be successfully completed within the first 48 points of study. Students who have not achieved a scaled mark of at least 50 in Mathematics Methods ATAR or equivalent or higher are required to complete MATH1721 or SCIE1500, (SCIE1500 is recommended). Students who have not achieved a scaled mark of at least 50 in Mathematics Applications ATAR or equivalent or higher are required to complete MATH1720 and either MATH1721 or SCIE1500, (SCIE1500 is recommended). Note: MATH1721 should be taken if also considering majors or minors that require it for progression to level 2 (e.g. Maths, Physics, Chemistry or Computer Science):
- MATH1720 Mathematics Fundamentals (6)
- MATH1721 Mathematics Foundations: Methods (6)

Price
- Tuition fee — 46,300 AUD per year.
A standard full time enrolment of 48 points per year equals 1 EFTSL (1 EFTSL is the Equivalent Full Time Study Load). If you enrol in more or less than 48 credit points per year, your yearly annual fee may be different. Tuition fees are reviewed annually and are subject to increase, as outlined in the UWA Acceptance Contract.
