  • Can reflect on their own role and the roles of others when interacting with other individuals.
  • Can identify, reflect on and work with relevant professional ethical issues in bioengineering work and use ethical theory, medical ethical principles and professional ethical guidelines in ethical reflection.

General competences:

The student:

  • Has a basis for further practical studies within biomedical laboratory science.
  • Understands the importance of communication within the health service.
  • Has insight into the field of biomedical laboratory science and is aware of and can reflect on practices in the best interest of the patient.

Learning methods and activities

This course contains a high degree of student active learning. Expected total workload 400 hours. Planned hours: Lectures approx. 60 hours, internal practice studies approx. 55 hours. Semester assignments (incl. Seminar) about 20 hours. External practice studies approx. 50 hours. Self study including group work: 215 hours

Compulsory assignments

  • Internal practice studies
  • External practice studies
  • Semester assignments

Further on evaluation

All three parts -- reflection note after external study practice, practical exam and theoretical exam -- must have been passed in order to achieve the grade passed for the course as a whole.

Compulsory work requirements: Internal practical studies (laboratory courses), semester assignments (including seminars) and external practical studies have to be approved before the examination.

Approval of compulsory work requirements is based on the teachers' assessments of the student's completion of practical and written work, including collaboration in groups. The right to conduct external study practice is dependent on approval of the mandatory work requirements that have been completed prior to external practice.

Approved calculator: HP30S, Citizen SR270, Citizen SR270X, Casio fx-82/83ES, Casio fx-82ES PLUS, MATH MI-633 DOT MATRIX DISPLAY, Texas BAII Plus, Casio fx-82-MS, Aurora Scientific Calculator fc582, Texas TI30XIIB/S og Casio fx-82 EX.

New / postponed exam: August. For new / postponed exams, the examination can be changed from written to oral.

If not passed, a single part assessment can be repeated without the other part assessments having to be repeated.

For applications for credits, approval and integration of courses from previous years or other institutions' equivalent education, each application will be evaluated individually. A reduction of credits (studiepoengsreduksjon) might apply if the candidate has passed exams in overlapping courses.
