Laboratory Medicine is at the heart of healthcare.
Prepare yourself to work in specialised medical and pathology laboratories that provide essential diagnostic services. You'll gain knowledge and a variety of practical laboratory skills in clinical chemistry, haematology, blood transfusion science, genomics, microbiology, histopathology, human molecular biology, and more.
This professionally accredited course prepares you for your future career by including hands-on laboratory experience, with each unit containing an average of three hours of practical laboratory experience per week.
In your final semester, you’ll participate in a 16-week Professional Experience Placement (PEP). This work-integrated learning approach allows you to practice newly acquired skills, behaviours, and knowledge in an active workplace environment, immersing you in a professional healthcare setting to gain a better understanding of the roles of professionals within the health care system.
You will undertake your professional experience placement in host laboratories on mainland Australia (outside of Tasmania), and we will help facilitate this connection to ensure it is a smooth and rewarding experience.
These experiences have led our students to respond with 100% satisfaction to their work readiness provided by this degree in 2022*. Coupled with high demand in hospital and private pathology laboratories, blood transfusion services, public health and specialised laboratories, and animal health laboratories, our students both stand out from the crowd, and have often secured great jobs prior to graduation.
