The Bachelor of Paramedic Science (Specialisation) CQUniversity provides opportunities for those students who wish to become paramedics as well as for practicing paramedics who wish to complete a bachelor degree.

The Clinical specialisation is your first step towards a rewarding career in paramedic science. The program is designed to provide graduates with the skills and knowledge to practice and deliver emergency pre-hospital medical and trauma care. The first year of the program provides foundation knowledge in sciences, human body systems, study and research skills, and paramedic practice. Years two and three of the program focus on disease processes and their emergency treatment with practical placements in paramedic care. During work placements, students have the opportunity to work closely with paramedics and respond to real-life emergency situations. As a student you are exposed to the most up-to-date high fidelity simulation equipment to support your work integrated learning. CQUniversity’s program includes 15 weeks (600 hours) of integrated work placements with the Queensland Ambulance Service and many hours of simulation training. This provides you with the opportunity to experience working as a paramedic and directly apply skills and knowledge learned in the classroom to real-life situations.

Individuals currently practicing as paramedics can choose from two paths towards their bachelor degree. The EMS Occupational Health and Safety specialisation is designed for paramedics seeking to gain a formal bachelor qualifi cation as well as to develop skills and knowledge in occupational health and safety. The Clinical specialisation option focuses on out-of-hospital clinical care. Both specialisations are offered by distance education to allow you to balance study with professional commitments. The practice of paramedic services is increasing in specific business areas such as mining, construction, leisure and recreation. In addition, organisers of activities that are regarded as high risk such as motorsports, film and TV productions, and major sporting events, increasingly hire paramedics for these events. Given the increase in demand from industry, and often the remote nature of these projects, having the highest level of emergency patient care with an associated diverse occupational health and safety role is required. The EMS Occupational Health and Safety specialisation will enhance the career opportunities of current paramedics seeking employment in the industry. Those employed by private paramedic services, and current industrial paramedics working within the diverse field outside of pre-hospital emergency care provision, can also benefit from the program. The program meets the current demands of the industry for skilled professionals in paramedic services.

Entry Requirements

You will be required to complete a medical and physical assessment prior to work placement with an Ambulance Service and the work placement is a compulsory component of this program.

You will be required to purchase an approved university clinical placement uniform as a requirement of the Queensland Ambulance Service. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) will also need to be purchased as a workplace health and safety requirement.

You are required to obtain a first-aid certificate prior to enrolment in course PMSC11001 Foundations of Paramedic Science.

If you have not studied chemistry you are advised to enrol in an introductory chemistry course at CQUniversity. The recommended course of study is CHEM40079 Introductory Chemistry.

Ambulance Service Employment Conditions: You should be aware before entering the program that ambulance services in Australia have specific requirements for employment that preclude people with certain health conditions. Please see specific state ambulance websites for further details.

EMS Occupational Health and Safety Specialisation Entry Requirements:
