Cell pathology is the study of disease by the techniques used in modern cell biology. It helps us to understand how cellular and molecular mechanisms interact during disease processes.

The Discipline of Pathology offers a number of areas of study for the degree of Bachelor of Science (Honours) or Bachelor of Medical Science (Honours). Honours is a one-year course by research normally taken at the end of your third year and serves as an ideal opportunity for you to gauge your interest in a future career with a research component. The Honours degree allows closer contact with the academic and technical staff of the Discipline. Our recent Honours graduates have enjoyed their year with us and we encourage them to maintain links with the Discipline in the future. During the year, students are encouraged to broaden their knowledge by attending seminars in other Disciplines and in other institutions, or even by participating in national conferences.
