What will I learn?

Pathology is a scientific discipline which involves the study of diseases, such as infections and cancers, at the genetic, molecular, cellular and organ levels. It's also a medical specialty that focuses on making diagnoses, but contrary to popular belief, it's not all about blood tests. Pathology examines: the disease process - what happens to our bodies when we're ill the effects of diseases, including their symptoms and complications An understanding of pathological process is also essential to guide the development of new diagnostic tests and novel treatments for a range of diseases including cancer and COVID-19. Undergraduate study in pathology involves the examination of various disease processes such as inflammation (including infections), wound healing and cancer. You'll become familiar with examining both macroscopic specimens and the microscopic differences between normal and abnormal cells, tissues and organs.
