    What is an MSc in Pathology? This program is intended for individuals who want to prevent and cure diseases. Most programs combine study and research training around the pathogenic mechanisms of disease and the application of this knowledge. Examples of course topics include systemic pathology, nutritional toxicology, advanced comparative toxicokinetics, and health physics. Laboratory techniques will include preparing and evaluating human or animal cells using morphologic methods, laser capture techniques, and in situ hybridization.

    Students who pursue this path benefit in that they develop analytical problem-solving skills in all areas of medical science. These skills along with lab training prepare students for a number of careers in the biomedical field.

    Students should always ask about financial requirements when considering a school for their pathology education. Different factors such as the reputation of the school, duration of the program, and lab fees will affect the overall costs, and getting in touch with the institution directly will answer any questions about tuition and fees.
