UTS Graduate School of Health was established in 2011 to address emerging needs of health professions. It provides innovative, practice-based education and high impact research in the following disciplines:

 

Career-ready

The School is committed to producing career-ready graduates. Integrated problem-based learning, simulated environments and interdisciplinary workshops are used to help students apply the theory they learn and build their considerable skill set. A wide range of interdisciplinary electives give students the choice to specialise or diversify their skills to best suit their career needs. Read more about our unique Model of Learning.

Research students are treated as early-career researchers; encouraged to publish and present their work and engage with a range of peers and mentors as they undertake their projects. 

Innovative

UTS Graduate School of Health is in a unique position to ensure best practice and innovation at each stage of development. We are proud to offer a contemporary, student-focused, teaching and learning approach for highly motivated, career-minded students. Working with an educational designer, our academics have created a curriculum that utilises cutting-edge tools to integrate science with clinical practice, technology and interdisciplinary skills.

100 Broadway - the future of allied health learning

100 Broadway, GSH's new home, is unique. Having all allied health disciplines physically housed within the same building really reflects best practise within a healthcare research and teaching setting. Facilities include collaborative pod classrooms, a computer lab, and purpose-built simulation spaces.

One of the anomalies in allied health professional training is that when you go to work on your first day you sit around a table with a group of medical colleagues, nursing colleagues, other health professions, but you do your training within your own discipline. This building, GSH, is gonna give us the opportunity to give our trainees exposure to a wide range of different allied health professions so when they go to work on their first day as a graduate they're gonna have an understanding about how other allied health professions work, which most other graduates won't have.

Hundred Broadway, which is GSH's new home, is unique in that it is joining disciplines together. So all of the allied health disciplines within the Graduate School of Health are coming together and they're joining around research and teaching and that bringing together of the disciplines really reflects best practise within a healthcare setting.

The school had a clear brief that they wanted to bring the different departments and disciplines under one roof for it to be a real collaborative space and provide a multidisciplinary clinic.

[Woman] The space here at One Hundred Broadway is just quite incredible really. It's been purpose-built so that every single discipline was able to identify what specific teaching space they needed in order to be able to prepare their students the best way they possibly can.

We have a wonderful new suite of research rooms for all the health professions here to use and those research areas will enable researchers to work together on collaborative projects, which when you're isolated silos you don't get an opportunity to do.

We have access to a range of facilities. So we have our clinic, the plinth room, a simulation room, and then for the students and all their group work we have small, collaborative classrooms.

The virtual reality lab at One Hundred Broadway is a specially designed facility with state-of-the-art technology so that we can do research into how we use virtual technologies for health conditions and education.

If you take a look around at the design, you'll see a woven motif through everything and to us, that's remembering the Gadigal peoples use of this land. The area was known as being really productive for weaving and making crafts. So we hope to carry that on as well, for Girra Maa to be productive within Graduate School of Health and always remembering the traditional owners' use of this land in everything we do.

When I think about the next generation of allied health professionals, we have to really think about the fact that working together in the healthcare system is what we know leads to better quality patient care. So working together while they're developing their knowledge and their skills as new healthcare professionals means that they'll be able to replicate that model of learning and understanding when they move out into clinical practise.
