Overview

Bachelor of Medical Laboratory Science

This degree at QUT was the first of its kind in Queensland and is taught by registered industry professionals with established careers in pathology laboratories.

Your studies will incorporate all areas of clinical pathology, including hematology, transfusion science, cytology, biochemistry, microbiology, histology, molecular pathology, and immunology, providing you with increased career opportunities.

Medical Laboratory Scientists work in clinical diagnostic pathology laboratories and perform and interpret tests on various human (and veterinary) samples such as blood, bone marrow, urine, and tissue. 

Their results are used to assess health status, diagnose disease, and monitor the effects of various treatments/therapies, e.g. chemotherapy used in cancer treatments. 

70% of all clinical decisions are either wholly or partially based on the results generated by pathology laboratories. 

In addition, 100% of cancers are diagnosed by pathology testing, and 100% of COVID-19 tests are performed in laboratories.

The Bachelor of Medical Laboratory Science is externally accredited by Australia's peak representative body for medical laboratory scientists, the Australian Institute for Medical and Clinical Scientists. 

The program contains all the relevant professional units and a 16-week professional placement.
