University of Tasmania - Hobart
Overview
Integrity, accountability, respect, professionalism and teamwork – these attributes embody the practice of Paramedicine.
If you’re compassionate, committed and want to make a difference in your community, a career in Paramedicine presents exciting and satisfying opportunities.
The Bachelor of Paramedicine is offered as a two-year, full time (fast-track) program, at two of our campuses, Hobart, Tasmania and Rozelle, NSW.
Throughout your degree, you'll have the chance to learn skills in small groups, and then apply what you learn to professional experience placements within ambulance services.
You’ll be taught by qualified paramedics, both on our staff and through our connections with the local healthcare sector.
We offer a low student/teacher ratio during your clinical practical experiences, which provides you with individual attention and support throughout your studies.
Potential Career Outcomes
Our Bachelor of Paramedicine allows you to work in complex, dynamic and sometimes extreme environments. Graduates will possess the expertise and values to have a positive impact on the quality of life for their community and will be equipped to work around the world.
As a graduate, you’ll have the knowledge and skills to assess and manage a broad range of clinical presentations in an out-of-hospital setting. You’ll understand the importance of informed clinical reasoning, in situations often complicated by unpredictable environments.
Graduates find work as a paramedic in organisations such as:
- Your state-based ambulance service around Australia or New Zealand
