Program description
Modern laboratory diagnostic situations will be part of your coursework, along with hands-on exercises that show how different fields can work together to solve pathology problems. Working on your communication skills and mastering the art of finding, interpreting, and critically evaluating scientific information can set you up for success in a global workforce. Coursework includes both classroom instruction and hands-on lab and tutorial work with real-world clinical materials and cases, as well as discussions of current research issues. In order to solve these problems, you will use scientific knowledge and methods.Program structure
Level 1
Students who have not achieved a scaled mark of at least 50 in ATAR Human Biology, ATAR Biology, or an equivalent qualification will need to successfully complete ANHB1101 Human Biology I or BIOL1130 Frontiers in Biology in their first 48 points of study in this course. Alternatively, students who have transferred from a degree where they were eligible to take IMED1001 Form and Function may complete this unit instead. IMED1001 is only available to students enrolled in the Bachelor of Biomedicine or the Biomedical Engineering major [MJD-EBMEG]. Students who have not achieved a scaled mark of at least 50 in ATAR Chemistry or equivalent will need to take CHEM1003 in first semester to meet prerequisites for SCIE1106:
Core (take all unites — 12 points):
- ANHB1102 Human Biology II: Being Human (6)
- SCIE1106 Molecular Biology of the Cell (6)
Bridging:
Students are required to take up to three units, 18 points, as required.
- ANHB1101 Human Biology I: Becoming Human (6)
- BIOL1130 Frontiers in Biology (6)
- CHEM1003 Introductory Chemistry (6)
- MATH1720 Mathematics Fundamentals (6)
Level 2
Core (take all units — 12 points):
- PATH2221 Principles of Human Disease (6)
- PATH2222 Pathology of Body Systems (6)
Level 3
Core (take all units — 24 points):
- MICR3305 Immunobiology and Immune Diseases (6)
- PATH3305 Medical Genetics (6)

Price
- Tuition fee — 46,300 AUD per year.
A standard full time enrolment of 48 points per year equals 1 EFTSL (1 EFTSL is the Equivalent Full Time Study Load). If you enrol in more or less than 48 credit points per year, your yearly annual fee may be different. Tuition fees are reviewed annually and are subject to increase, as outlined in the UWA Acceptance Contract.
