Bachelor
This broad-based course offers you diverse career options in the healthcare industry. Use your knowledge of medical science to enter a rewarding career in public health or health administration in the public or private sector.
Work in private and public sector hospitals and health laboratories, where you will be responsible for performing a range of medical laboratory tests to help clinicians in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of a range of diseases. Modern techniques in medical laboratory science are increasingly focused on the molecular pathology - the DNA. So you can help personalised medicine - help people get the treatment that suits their body, not the disease!
This stream will compliment your current career in science, medical research, veterinary science or agriculture. It is grounded in anatomy, biochemistry, biotechnology, blood bank, cell biology, cytogenetics, genetics, haematology, histology, immunology, immunohaematology, and microbiology.
You'll gain a broad base of knowledge to support your entry into medical research programs or postgraduate study. Then choose an elective and apply the knowledge to your own discipline or area of interest. This stream will prepare you for a career in animal research, ecology, or environmental health and research.
