Bachelor of Engineering (Honours)/Bachelor of Science in Pathology - Dual Degree

Program Overview

Students can undertake a five-year full-time double degree leading to the award of the degrees of Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) and Bachelor of Science (BE (Hons) BSc).

The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) provides you with a solid background in mathematics, natural sciences and computing to give you knowledge and skills in whichever specialisation you choose. You'll have the chance to apply yourself to engineering design and enquiry projects, professional engineering practice, and engineering and technical management, as well as conduct research towards your thesis project.

The Bachelor of Science degree allows you to study a wide range of science subjects. You are encouraged to choose a variety of courses in your first year, and later to choose from a broad selection of major options. This gives you time to become more familiar with the different areas of science and to explore possible majors.

Major: Pathology
Pathology is a scientific discipline which involves the study of disease. Pathology provides an understanding of the causes of disease, the underlying molecular mechanisms and the symptoms, and potential complications of disease. An understanding of pathological process is also essential to guide the development of new diagnostic tests and novel treatments for a range of diseases including Cancer and Covid-19.

Undergraduate Pathology involves the study of various disease processes including inflammation, wound healing, vascular diseases, immunological responses, musculoskeletal diseases and cancers. Students become familiar with examining macroscopic specimens of diseased tissue, microscopic differences between normal and abnormal cells, tissues and organs as well as interpretation of basic diagnostic laboratory investigations and imaging. Much of the study of microscopic abnormalities is undertaken using computer-based 'virtual' microscopy. Students also become familiar with the molecular mechanisms that underlie the development of disease. Courses offered in Pathology allow in-depth study of many fascinating and important disorders such as meningitis, tuberculosis, autoimmune diseases, genetic diseases, a variety of cancers, HIV/AIDS, heart disease, asthma, musculoskeletal diseases and even COVID-19.

Some examples of careers that students studying Pathology may pursue include:

  • Medical researcher (including in government, industry or university laboratories);
  • Laboratory technician;
  • Pharmaceutical sales representative;
  • Medical-scientific liaison;
  • Regulatory affairs officer.
