Course outline

In the higher education diploma year, students develop fundamental academic skills and cement their knowledge in foundation subjects and core concepts skills needed for a career in health. Medical scientists perform diagnostic tests of blood, tissues and other bodily fluids to help doctors diagnose diseases such as glandular fever, diabetes, swine flu and cancer. Pathology-based results often form the basis for decisions on an individual’s diagnosis, treatment and subsequent therapeutic monitoring. This program meets the demand of the public hospital system and private pathology laboratories for professionally qualified medical laboratory scientists. On successful completion of the diploma, students progress into the Bachelor of Medical Laboratory Science with credit.
