Career opportunities

When you graduate, you'll be ready to make your mark in a wide range of emergency, ambulance and out-of-hospital health care environments as a registered paramedic. 

What you will study?

For each 8-point subject you are enrolled in, you should expect to spend 10 to 12 hours per week working on assignments and assigned readings, tutorial assistance, individual or group research/study, forum activity, workplace learning, and attending lectures, intensive schools, or examinations. If you are studying four subjects per session, this is equivalent to a full-time job. The workload for some subjects may vary as a result of approved course design.
