Introduction
The program is a collaboration between the cytogenetics profession and the University. It will emphasise laboratory skills as well as theoretical knowledge. Cytogenetics impinges on many other areas - haematology, cytology, histopathy, psychology, nursing, and medicine.
Course Entry Requirements/Prerequisites
A Bachelor of Science degree or equivalent in a relevant area and current employment in a Cytogenetics laboratory.
Duration and Availability
This fee paying course is only available on a part-time basis over three years. All students who enrol in this course must be employed in a Cytogenetics laboratory.
Intermediate Awards
A student who has successfully completed all the requirements of the Graduate Certificate in Cytogenetics (exit only) may apply under exceptional circumstance provisions for graduation in that award subject to approval of the Head of School. For further definition refer to the Statement and Awards section under General Information.
Course Organisation
The course is designed in modular form. It is equivalent to the three semester Masters programs, but because of the emphasis on laboratory acquired knowledge and skills, it will be conducted on a part-time basis over a three year period.
