In terms of the educational goals specific to this degree programme, and the professional baseline provided to programme graduates to continue their studies within the same discipline as their first degree or in other faculties or programmes within the University, the degree programme in Biomedical Laboratory Techniques has the following educational goals:
-possess an integrated body of theoretical knowledge in the field of laboratory sciences and techniques allowing students to analyse, assess, interpret, apply, and judiciously plan biomedical and bio-technological laboratory activities in terms of biochemical, microbiological / virological, pharmacological, toxicological, immunological, pathological, haematological, cytological, and histopathological analysis. They do so as independent professionals, but also in collaboration with other personnel holding a degree in laboratory science, and assigned various operating responsibilities;
-have theoretical knowledge of radiation-protection protocols and related regulations;
-possess an integrated body of practical knowledge in the field of laboratory sciences and techniques such that they might bear the responsibility, within the scope of their own research and training, of conducting biomedical and bio-technological laboratory activities in terms of biochemical, microbiological / virological, pharmacological, toxicological, immunological, pathological, haematological, cytological, and histopathological analysis;
-possess a practical understanding of the application and monitoring of radiation-protection measures;
-have the requisite professional method so that services can be provided independently and safely, either alone or in collaboration with other personnel in complementary positions;
