Murdoch University

The first step in treating disease is correct medical diagnosis. Study Clinical Laboratory Science to be at the front line of healthcare, using technology to analyse and diagnose health issues and contribute to medical research. 

If you’re fascinated by disease processes and diagnosis, this course will give you the experience and analytical skills you need to succeed in medical diagnosis, medical research and other medical science-related fields. 

Explore medical technology and work in practical laboratories on campus to gain laboratory skills used to analyse, diagnose and research human diseases. You’ll examine disease processes and learn the technical skills you need to handle patient material collected in hospitals, doctor’s surgeries and forensic investigations. 

By the end of the course, you’ll be able to perform clinical testing and analyse and report results. Covering human biology, cell and molecular biology, molecular genetics, and a range of clinical laboratory disciplines including microbiology, immunology, biochemistry and haematology, this major (along with completion of other appropriate clinical units in your second and third year) will help prepare you for an optional fourth year of study and a professional qualification in Laboratory Medicine.
