Overview

Bachelor of Paramedicine

Paramedics are at the forefront of medical and emergency care. They assess, treat and transport patients in emergencies and health-related events in the community. 

The Bachelor of Paramedicine will give you the skills, knowledge and hands-on experience to assess life-threatening situations, provide emergency care and potentially save lives.

Starting with a core knowledge of anatomy, physiology and pharmacotherapy, then study the role of paramedics in practice, research, education and leadership. 

As a student paramedic, you’ll learn how to treat patients with a range of medical conditions including trauma, respiratory, cardiovascular, mental health, maternal and neonatal health.

From your first semester, you’ll gain practical experience and complete up to 60 days of placement across your degree, working in clinical and community settings with ambulance services, non-emergency transport and in the emergency department of Victoria’s major hospitals. 

These hospital placements expose you to the diverse nature of being a paramedic, and give you the chance to work collaboratively with other health care professionals.  

You’ll also have opportunities to practice your skills in realistic simulation scenarios on campus, including managing mass casualty disasters.
