The Pathology Level 5 Advanced Diploma offers an in-depth exploration of the complex and critical field of pathology, providing students with comprehensive knowledge and practical skills. The course begins with a foundational understanding of pathology, focusing on the study of disease at the cellular level, including cellular pathology and systemic pathology. Students will delve into clinical pathology, examining the biochemical and haematological aspects of disease, as well as molecular pathology, which explores the genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying various conditions.

The programme also covers microbial pathology, focusing on the role of microorganisms in disease, and neoplasia, the study of tumour biology. Emphasis is placed on mastering diagnostic techniques and laboratory management, ensuring students are well-prepared for careers in medical laboratories and research institutions. The curriculum is designed to equip students with the necessary tools to analyse, diagnose, and understand the mechanisms of diseases, making them valuable assets in the medical and scientific communities.
