      For an undertaker I think you can just apply if you’re interested, there’s on the job training.

      A pathologist on the other hand requires a medical degree and then further specalising in the field. I believe there are pathology specific degrees aimed at those wanting to be pathology technicians rather than pathologists.

      I don’t think you need a degree to be an undertaker, and I can’t find any courses available.

      However, for pathology, you could look at a degree course like a BSc in Medical Microbiology, Pathology and Microbiology or just plain Microbiology, or Human Biology and Infectious Diseases – there are a few of them around. Good luck!
