The Master of Laboratory Medicine will provide a formal qualification in Laboratory Medicine for students with an undergraduate background in science or health science, and graduates will be suitable for employment as Medical Scientists. There are various career options open to Medical Scientists, especially in hospital clinical and pathology laboratories, private pathology services, blood transfusion services, veterinary pathology laboratories and public health laboratories. Other areas of employment are found in universities and diagnostic companies. Some students will be prepared to undertake further postgraduate training in biomedical research, leading to potential career options in research organisations.
