Faculty of Science

Pathology

The aim of these subjects is to introduce the student to the scientific study of disease processes. The causes, mechanisms of development and possible outcome of disease are covered in General Pathology 531-301 and 531-302. Current thinking about, and investigation of, cellular and molecular aspects of disease processes will be studied in 531-303, 531-304, 531-305 by means of lectures, seminar/discussions and experimental projects in a variety of research areas.

The overall objective of teaching Pathology within the Faculty of Science is to provide the foundations upon which a student could take up a career in the wider fields of Medical Science, Technology, and Laboratory Investigation within a Hospital or an Institute of Medical Research.
