病理学是在遗传，分子，细胞和器官水平上对诸如感染和癌症等疾病及其过程（例如炎症）的研究。病理学家检查疾病的发展方式和原因，并且在这些疾病的诊断中很重要。学生将熟悉检查宏观标本以及正常和异常细胞，组织和器官之间的微观差异。实例包括对脑膜炎，肺结核，自身免疫性疾病，先天性疾病，各种癌症，HIV / AIDS，心脏病，哮喘，肌肉骨骼疾病和人类版本的“疯牛病”等疾病的研究。
Pathology is the study of diseases such as infections and cancers, and their processes, such as inflammation, at the genetic, molecular, cellular and organ levels. Pathologists examine the origins of diseases and their importance in the diagnosis of these diseases. You will become familiar with examining both macroscopic specimens and the microscopic differences between normal and abnormal cells, tissues and organs. A Diploma is a 12-month course that gives you the foundational skills and knowledge in a specific stream. A Diploma of Science will take you straight into the Second Year of your Bachelor of Science at UNSW. <br><br>It is a great option for you as an international student if you need a bit more support but don't want to add extra time to your degree. If you have just missed out on direct entry into your preferred bachelor's degree, or hold qualifications that are not recognised by UNSW Sydney, this could also be the program for you.
