About the course:

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, microbiology, histopathology, human molecular biology, immunology and more.

This course prepares you for your future career by including hands-on laboratory experience where each unit contains an average of three hours of practical laboratory experience per week.

In your final semester, you’ll participate in a Professional Experience Placement (PEP). This work-integrated learning approach allows you to practice newly acquired skills, behaviours and knowledge in a workplace environment, immersing you in a professional healthcare setting to gain a better understanding of the roles of professionals within the health care system.

If you choose the Professional Experience Sequence, you will undertake your professional experience placement in host laboratories on mainland Australia (outside of Tasmania).
