Overview

Bachelor of Science (Paramedical Science)

Your studies at ECU will include many hours of work placement experiences with WA-based healthcare providers.

And realistic on-campus simulations will help you develop practical skills, like pre-hospital diagnostic techniques, that are critical in this profession.

You’ll be taught by AHPRA-registered industry professionals with on-road experience, with many still actively working in the profession. 

They’ll help you develop an understanding of professional and ethical practice, communication and safe practice within the public health, social, cultural and clinical paramedical science environments.

When you graduate, you can consider further specialisation across a range of postgraduate courses, including Critical Care Paramedicine, Extended Care Paramedicine and Disaster and Emergency Response.
