Description

This course provides an opportunity for students interested in a broad education in medical microbiology to undertake studies in the areas of parasitology and mycology. The unit is offered by agreement with the University of Technology, Sydney, and is taught at the Gore Hill Campus of UTS. The course offers students training in the principals and practices of medical laboratory parasitology and mycology. The parasitology component covers the identification of parasitic worms, insects and protozoa. Mechanisms of disease is also covered. The mycology component examines pathogenic yeasts and fungi, their identification and mechanisms of disease. The course is supported by a comprehensive laboratory program.

Note: Enrolment limited to 20 students. If oversubscribed, placements awarded according to achievements in Level 1, 2 and 3 courses. To avoid complications with HECS/ fees payments, students should enrol in this course through UTS, not UNSW, and have the units of credit transferred towards the UNSW degree.
