Overview
The Bachelor of Paramedicine (Honours) is a one-year degree for high-achieving students who have already completed the Bachelor of Paramedicine or equivalent degree. The program allows students to build upon the knowledge gained in their past degree, develop research skills that will equip them for future study at a higher degree level and work closely with an academic expert to contribute to a particular area of interest. The main focus of the program is to produce a research thesis under supervision from experienced academic staff.
Importantly, this degree DOES NOT lead to accreditation as a paramedic.
Careers
This degree is the most efficient pathway to doctoral studies and it provides graduates with greater knowledge of research and interpretation, which can be usefully applied in the clinical setting.
