As a student of paramedics, students may learn about human body structures and functions so they can perform life-saving actions under pressure. Knowledge about how to treat the human body can be valuable for students interested in pursuing medical field careers, such as a nurse or a physician’s assistant.

A Master of Science is a graduate degree that can be obtained by students who have first completed a bachelor’s program in a similar field. An MSc typically takes about two years of full-time study to earn.
