Our three-year full-time (or part-time equivalent) course develops your knowledge and hands-on laboratory experience in chemistry, anatomy and physiology, microbiology, immunology, biochemistry, pathophysiology and molecular biology, with a focus on Indigenous and rural health. It provides an understanding of the structure and function of both the healthy and diseased body at the system, cellular and molecular level and advance knowledge in your area of specialisation. You will also complete studies in complementary areas to expand your social and employability skills; this coupled with workplace experience will ensure you are ready for employment.

The degree includes 50 hours of voluntary work placement with community organisations engaged in not-for-profit activities (e.g. sporting clubs, events, tourism centres).
