Biomedical Science is a fundamental component in medical diagnosis and research. It covers the execution of analytical methods and functional measurements in medical laboratories.
The Bachelor Programme „Biomedical Science“ conveys to the students all the skills and job-related know how, which they need in order to be able to carry out complex analytical process in the lab themselves and to contribute to functional measurements. Here great importance is set on the application of modern analytical technologies and of the utilisation of state-of-the-art analysis procedures.
As well as expertise in technical methodology, the students acquire socio-communicative skills such as conflict management, the ability of self-reflection, team, capacity for teamwork, role distance etc. Furthermore they learn the fundamental concepts of scientific work. In the accompanying internship the student is offered the opportunity to realise and to intensify the acquired know how under expert guidance.
The study programme is divided into modules, which are partly offered on an inter-disciplinary basis. The curriculum is characterised by a balance between in-depth theoretical education, science and work experience. Graduates of the study programme are in a position, to expertly carry out the allocated tasks, while combining the know how from the various disciplines. They have learned to act reflectively and autonomously in their professional daily routine and to act in accordance with their code of conduct.
The programme focus is comprised of general and job-related medical principles as well as of the relevant content from the reference sciences:
Biomedical Science comprises the independent and autonomous execution of analytical methods, which are necessary within the framework of the medical examination, treatment-and research institutes. The analysis procedures range from chemical analysis, automated processes to the analysis in cellular and molecular biology. The results attained form the basis for exact therapeutic measures adapted individually to the patients. Complex methodology enables the graduates to apply the varied analytical process in medicinal prevention, diagnosis, therapy monitoring and Research.
Biomedical science offers the graduates a variety of professional possibilities such as in the fields of human- and veterinary medicine, in pharmaceuticals- or in the food industry.
The completion of this Bachelor Programme entitles the graduate to participate in professional, but also in management or pedagogical Master Programmes in the field of the health professions.
Students should have the following skills and strengths:
