The social work program involves twoplacements, each of 490 hours, where thestudent's skills are further developed inreal world settings. Students are able tograduate with honours on the basis ofachieving a GPA of a certain standard.

Advanced Standing ProgramAdvanced Standing allows approvedapplicants who have completed at leasttwo years of a university degree orequivalent in a relevant area to completethe Social Work course with a further twocalendar years (5 semesters) of full timestudy. Relevant areas of previous studyare:

•Justice Studies•Law•Education•Arts (Humanities)•Social Sciences•Psychology or Behavioural Sciences•Community Welfare and HumanServices programs from other universities•Health including Nursing

As part of this prior study, it is expectedstudents will have completed some unitswith a focus on social studies, behaviouralstudies, and interpersonal skills. Thenumber of units in addition to therequirements of the standard 2 YearAdvanced Standing Program thatstudents can be required to undertake islimited to two (24 credit points).

Students seeking Advanced Standingshould apply for entry to the four yearBachelor of Social Work program andapply for advanced standing (credit) - upto 168 credit points - for previous study.Students who have completed or partlycompleted a human services degree fromQUT should apply for entry to the fouryear program, and may receive up to 192credit points. Advice on likely credit canbe provided by the Bachelor of SocialWork Course Coordinator. Note, thatwhile these guidelines govern advancedstanding arrangements, final outcomeswill be decided once formal applicationhas been made.

It should be noted that in undertaking the2 Year Advanced Standing coursestructure students will undertake their firstfield placement in the summer semesterof the first year following two semesters ofpreparatory units. Those who enter theprogram in mid-year will undertake theirfirst field placement in the summerfollowing their first semester.

OverviewThe Bachelor of Medical LaboratoryScience degree is accredited by theAustralian Institute of Medical Scientists.More than 90 per cent of graduatesseeking employment within the pathologyindustry are successful within months ofgraduation. The course is designed inconsultation with managers andacademics in pathology and researchlaboratories, so you will gain advancedknowledge of the latest diagnostictechniques used in these settings.

Throughout the course you will undertakepractical classes in QUT’s state-of-the-artlaboratories, so that when you graduate,you will have extensive experience withtechniques, equipment and instrumentsused daily in industry and research. Aspart of your professional development,during your final year you will alsoundertake one semester of workintegrated learning where you will interactdirectly with, and be mentored by,practising medical scientists or clinical

researchers. You may also be able tocomplete part of your work placement inregional Australia or an internationallaboratory.

Course structureIn order to complete the Bachelor ofMedical Laboratory Science you mustcomplete 384 credit points which includesone elective unit.

Career outcomesThe aim of this course is to prepare youas an accredited medical laboratoryscientist for employment in a medical/diagnostic pathology laboratory or otherhealthcare supported related area.

As a medical laboratory scientist you willperform, interpret and report on analyses(or conduct research) in the areas ofimmunology, haematology, transfusionscience, microbiology (bacteriology,mycology, virology and parasitology),histopathology, cytology, biochemistryand molecular biology. After graduationyou may decide to specialise in areassuch as cytological diagnosis,transplantation science, stem celltherapies, forensic testing, moleculardiagnostics, cytogenetics, and healthinformatics, or proceed to a managerialposition within a private laboratory orhospital.

PathwaysIf you wish to undertake postgraduatestudies in medicine, this course is anexcellent pre-medical degree. As agraduate, you can pursue further studiesleading to a career in medical research.Graduates are currently working asresearchers in areas such as cancerdiagnosis, malaria, virology, stem cells,infectious diseases, immunology,transfusion science, eye disease,reproductive medicine and molecularbiology.

Professional recognitionGraduates of Bachelor of MedicalLaboratory Science are immediatelyeligible for graduate membership with theAustralian Institute of Medical Scientistsand will have completed the academicand work placement requirements foradmission as full members. Depending onyour clinical discipline(s) of employment,you will be eligible to apply formembership of various professionalorganisations including the AustralasianAssociation of Clinical Biochemists,Australian Society of Microbiology,Australian Society of Cytology, Human

The profession of Optometry isundergoing expansion in its scope ofpractice as a result of legislativeamendments occurring (or pending) in allstates and territories to allow

appropriately trained optometrists to usetherapeutic pharmaceutical agents in thepractice of Optometry. This programincreases graduates' depth of knowledgein the areas of general and ocularpharmacology, with training in thetherapeutic management of eye disease.

OverviewThe postgraduate coursework programswill suit anyone who has a recentundergraduate degree (preferably,however not necessarily, in science) andwho wishes to gain training and advancedspecialisation in general, medical and/orplant biotechnology. The programs alsocater for working scientists, support staffor students involved in commercialaspects of biotechnology, who wish toupdate their theoretical and practicalbiotechnology skills.

Science-based biotechnology unitsemphasising laboratory skills and hands-on laboratory experimentation featureprominently in the programs, which covercontemporary techniques inbiotechnology. New technology isincorporated as it becomes available. Theprograms also offer students opportunitiesto pursue studies related to the businessof biotechnology, marketing,commercialisation, as well as the legaland ethical aspects of biotechnologicalapplications.

Course DesignThe program of study for an individualstudent will be decided in consultationwith the course coordinator and will takeinto account the student’s background inthe cell and biomolecular sciences andareas of interest in biotechnology.

The Graduate Certificate in Biotechnologyis a foundation program for people withouta science degree or for those who do nothave a recent background in the cell andbiomolecular sciences. Fundamentalaspects of cell and molecular biology,biochemistry and microbiology are

covered in this first program. Successfulcompletion of this program allowsstudents to then specialise in moreadvanced aspects of biotechnology. TheGraduate Certificate in Biotechnology alsoallows students to gain essential genericskills and attributes for successfulpostgraduate research and learning.

Students must commence in July andenrol in Semester 2 units first. Advancedstanding (credit) may be given for thisfoundation program if the student has adegree or equivalent with recent andappropriate undergraduate-levelknowledge and practical experience in thekey areas of molecular biology, cellbiology, biochemistry and/or microbiologyat an advanced level. If advancedstanding (credit) is granted and acceptedstudents can enrol directly in any of themore advanced biotechnology programsin their first semester of study.
