Experimental Pathology

Experimental Pathology is an extremely interesting subject and an overall positive environment. I always thought that research and lab work would never be for me however this subject completely changed my perspective on lab work.

Path does require a fair amount of work, however, it is so practical with some labs including disease diagnoses, autopsy, and cause of death investigations. Whilst the assessments can be intensive, as long as you keep up to date and invest sufficient time in the subject the marking is very reasonable.

With only 1 lecture and 1 workshop every week path is a great subject for people looking to have some fun in the lab with friends, people looking to collaborate and explore new realms of the biomedical and research fields. 9/10 would recommend.
