Paramedicine - M3707
Bachelor's degree (honours year)
Are you looking to become a paramedic? Please see our Bachelor of Paramedicine (M2011).
The Honours degree in paramedicine takes your capabilities to the next level and is designed to develop graduates who will contribute to research in the four key focus areas: paramedic clinical practice, paramedic education, paramedic health and wellbeing, and paramedic roles in health services.
The course aims to help high-achieving students acquire the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to achieve excellence in research scholarship, and is a direct pathway for higher research training including PhD and research Masters.
You will become equipped to complete evidence-based research and complete your course by contributing your own research project to paramedic research literature.
Career opportunities
In addition to working as clinical paramedics, Honours students can further their career opportunities in research positions and contribute to the growing area of out-of-hospital research.

"The Bachelor of Paramedicine (Honours) degree developed my independence as a researcher and prepared me to step into the Ph.D. program. My Honours degree projects were both published in peer-reviewed journals. My favourite component was meeting and collaborating with researchers and mentors, on projects that make a meaningful impact." - Belinda Delardes
