Course overview

The Bachelor of Paramedicine qualifies you to work as a paramedic in Australia. The course offers guaranteed clinical student placements in the Northern Territory with a range of health care providers allowing students to gain important hands-on learning. Students will graduate ready to work in emergency ambulance and out-of-hospital environments in regional, remote and urban settings. During the three-year paramedicine degree you will gain vital clinical decision-making, problem-solving and critical thinking skills and students will learn about anatomy and physiology, human development and Australia's health-care systems and policies. Students will develop knowledge in clinical science areas including trauma and emergency-based response. This course also has a strong focus on First Nations Health, mental health and specific care of maternal, neonatal and patient assessments across the age ranges including paediatric patients.

This program is designed to transition university graduates into becoming qualified ambulance paramedics who will register with the Paramedicine Board of Australia.
