The University of Queensland are pleased to announce the introduction of the new Bachelor of Paramedic Science program to be offered from Semester 1, 2012 at UQ’s Ipswich campus.


The 3 year full-time program requires English as a pre-requisite and recommends study of one of Biology, Chemistry or Physics. The program will prepare graduates for entry-level employment as an ambulance paramedic.


Students will undertake clinical placements with the Queensland Ambulance Service throughout the program to gain practical “hands-on” experience in the role of a paramedic.

UQ Holiday visits

Students do not have to wait until they are studying at UQ to visit one of our first-class campuses. A guided on-campus tour is a fantastic opportunity to get a closer look at university life, ask questions, talk to current students and see the facilities first-hand. Tours generally take about an hour and information packs are provided for all visitors.
