3 The summary - UCAS programme profile- BANNER BOX: This programme provides the academic requirements for the Institute of Biomedical Science registration as a Biomedical Scientist. Employment prospects both as a Biomedical Scientist, in research, in clinical sales or trials, in teaching or in finance, are excellent. ENTRY REQUIREMENTS The standard entry requirement for students entering level 1 BSc (Hons) Biomedical Science will be a Greek Secondary School diploma (Apolytirion of Lykeio) with a minimum Apolyterion average of 10. It is stressed that the grade of 10 is the minimum and that prospective recruits will have to demonstrate their potential and abilities during an interview with the course leader Non-Greek nationals who have obtained this qualification through attendance in the Greek schooling system will be eligible for admission on the same basis as Greek nationals. Medical Certificate, if necessary. Other documents as requested by our collaborative partners Greek nationals who have been schooled overseas may be admitted to the programme on demonstrating that: They have demonstrated command of the Greek language through possession of an appropriate qualification recognised by the Greek educational authorities AKMI has an organized interviewing and admissions process which it follows for every academic programme it offers. Candidates are expected to sit one or more interviews with a qualified interviewer (who is usually the Course Leader in the student s respective field of interest). Following the interview, candidates are required to fill out an application form which formalizes their request to be granted admission to their chosen programme of study. All decisions on student admission are then undertaken by a committee consisting of the Director, the Course Leader, and selected course tutors.
4 ABOUT THE PROGRAMME What is Biomedical Science? Biomedical Scientists carry out the complex and diverse investigations required in modern hospital pathology laboratories. They provide the scientific information required for effective diagnosis and treatment. To do this they require an in depth knowledge of the causes of disease and the practical ways in which they can be investigated. This degree programme aims to provide this knowledge. Biomedical Science at UEL The programme at UEL and AKMI is based around the study of the biology of disease. All specialist areas of Biomedical Science are included in the programme, which is therefore broadly based and relatively non specialist. Students might be able to obtain a short placement to aid clinical training in hospital laboratories or related industries. This programme offers extensive laboratory training through all levels of the course. Programme structure Students follow a 3-year full-time programme (or a 4-year placement degree programme). The programme can also be followed part-time. At Level 4 biochemistry, cell biology, physiology and microbiology are introduced in modules on Essential Chemistry, Cell Biology, Biochemistry, and Human Anatomy & Physiology. These modules also provide general background skills, statistics, IT and laboratory skills. All these modules also include an introduction to the biology of disease processes. At Level 5, students continue the study of biochemistry, modern molecular biology methods and their medical applications in Cellular Biochemistry, while Biology of Disease investigates the major methods of laboratory investigation. The study of human physiology is continued in Physiological Regulation, which also includes an introduction to the histology of normal and pathological tissues. The biology of disease-causing micro-organisms and the body s defence systems are studied in Infection and Immunity, while Clinical Diagnosis is a reflective, integrated module in which the clinical laboratory specialities typical of Biomedical Science are represented in a system-led approach. The final year (Level 6) contains modules of Clinical Biochemistry, looking at the biochemical causes of disease, including cancer and arterial disease, and Clinical Infection and Immunity, which continues the study of medical microbiology and the
5 medically important aspects of immunology. In Cellular Pathology and Blood Science students will learn to identify normal and pathological tissues under the microscope and will study blood and the diseases of the blood, together with a study of blood storage and transfusion. At level 6, students will do an individual Research Project involving original self directed work. This may be laboratory based, or it may involve a library investigation, but in either case it will involve the generation and assessment of data. Learning environment Learning is encouraged through participation in a wide variety of activities including lectures, seminars, workshops, laboratory-based practicals, external visits, web-based learning, etc. Students Full time students study four 30-credit modules per year. Each module has 4-5 hours contact per week, and may need up to 8-9 hours further individual study per week. Success at university depends on developing students ability to study independently using different resources, e.g. library, CAL, handouts and web-based study activities. The first few weeks at level 4 will help students make the major shift to independent learning needed at university, compared to schools and FE colleges, and also help to develop those transferable skills so important in working life. Assessment Students are assessed in practical work and theory. In most modules 50% of the module mark is derived from coursework during the semester (this can take a variety of forms including laboratory work, data analysis, essays, oral presentations, etc.) and 50% from unseen written theory examinations. Level 4 modules introduce students to the standards and types of assessment used at university. Some have theory exams staged at intervals through the semester. Although they do not contribute to their final Honours grade, students are expected to achieve at least 40% in all Level 1 modules. Students final Honours grade uses marks from Level 5 and Level 6 modules only. Level 4 modules prepare students to do their best at later levels of study. Students with disabilities and/or particular learning needs should discuss assessments with the Programme Leader to ensure they are able to fully engage with all assessment within the programme.
6 Work experience/placement opportunities Visits to hospital laboratories will be arranged at level 5 and 6 of the programme so that students are familiar with the specialist areas of Biomedical Science (Clinical Biochemistry, Medical Microbiology, Haematology, Cellular Pathology or Immunology) in a working environment. It may be possible to undertake the level 6 project in a hospital laboratory with the agreement of AKMI and UEL staff. Project work Project work is an essential component of an Honours degree programme and one that most students enjoy. Small projects and group work exercises feature throughout the programme. Level 6 includes an individual Research Project. Project work encourages students to show initiative in their individual work under supervision in a laboratory, using appropriate techniques to generate and interpret new data. Most projects continue investigating areas of clinical interest such as cancer therapy, vaccine development, and development of clinical tests. Projects may be library or laboratory based or may involve analysis of clinical data. Added value Extensive personal support throughout the programme. Staff with extensive experience of teaching students from a wide range of backgrounds. Sound practical and academic training. Effective careers advice and support available.
7 IS THIS THE PROGRAMME FOR ME? If you are interested in... Finding out more about how diseases develop and are treated. Developing your knowledge of medical sciences. Studying practical methods relevant to diagnosis and treatment of disease. Understanding how current knowledge about disease depends on study at many levels: molecules, cells, and whole organisms. Improving your scientific skills of logical argument and analysis. Having a professional career in the NHS or elsewhere at the end of your course. Having the satisfaction of a career which contributes to the well being of society as a whole. If you enjoy... Reading or hearing about research and/or medicine. The challenge of increasing not just your knowledge of facts, but also your understanding of how science contributes to the search for new solutions to problems. Doing scientific procedures and experiments in laboratories and IT labs with precision. Working in laboratories using standard and novel techniques to solve problems. Being able to study quietly and individually away from formal staff-led sessions. If you want... To focus eventually on one specific area of biomedical science, but still keep your career options open. To move into other areas of bioscience (e.g Biotechnology or Pharmaceutical Science) To be able to develop your own research interests at the university (usually developing laboratory skills, but IT, survey or library projects also negotiable).
8 Your future career Most graduates would pursue their careers in hospital pathology laboratories, however, many students go on to research degrees and to jobs in research institutes, industrial and pharmaceutical laboratories and in sales. Because the degree is broadly based, it is also an excellent qualification for a teaching career. In addition to NHS jobs, recent graduates have progressed to: Higher degrees in Biomedical Science related areas (MSc, PhD) Research Institutes, industrial research laboratories, research in hospitals Sales Further study in other disciplines, e.g. MSc (e.g. IT, Business), MBA, Nursing, Physiotherapy, Dentistry, Medicine, Pharmacy Training as a teacher. (e.g. enrol on PGCE courses at UEL) How we support you The School of Health, Sport and Bioscience provides immediate contact with University support systems. In your first year of study you are allocated a Personal Tutor (a member of staff familiar with your degree). You will see your Tutor at regular intervals to discuss progress and life in general. Module leaders and Programme leaders also give support on academic matters, and advice about other specialist help available through the University. The School also has a Help Desk to provide administrative assistance and advise how to get the right help. Internet homepages are used by many staff to support their teaching and your learning. Lecture and practical files, quizzes, mark summaries and much more is now available for several modules via Moodle online links. Throughout the programme you will find a number of scheduled support activities devoted to specific aspects, e.g. how to write your project report, or more general aspects such as careers. Support for students on a University level includes: Libraries and Learning Resource Centres Childcare for students with children aged 2 and 1/2 years to 5 years Careers advice and information Counselling and Advice for practical problems

11 The programme structure Introduction All programmes are credit-rated to help you to understand the amount and level of study that is needed. One credit is equal to 10 hours of directed study time (this includes everything you do e.g. lecture, seminar and private study). Credits are assigned to one of 5 levels: 3 equivalent in standard to GCE 'A' level and is intended to prepare students for year one of an undergraduate degree programme 4 equivalent in standard to the first year of a full-time undergraduate degree programme 5 equivalent in standard to the second year of a full-time undergraduate degree programme 6 equivalent in standard to the third year of a full-time undergraduate degree programme 7 equivalent in standard to a Masters degree Credit rating The overall credit-rating of this programme is 360 credits. Typical duration The expected duration of this programme is 3 years full-time or 4 years part-time. It is possible to move from full-time to part-time study and vice-versa to accommodate any external factors such as financial constraints or domestic commitments. Many of our students make use of this flexibility and this may impact on the overall duration of their study period. A student cannot normally continue study on a programme after 4 years of study in full time mode unless exceptional circumstances apply and extenuation has been granted. The limit for completion of a programme in part time mode is 8 years from first enrolment. How the teaching year is divided The teaching year begins in September and ends in June A typical student, in full-time attendance mode of study, will register for 120 credits in an academic year. A student in a part-time mode of study may register for up to 90 credits in any academic year.
12 What you will study when A student registered in a full-time attendance mode will take 120 credits per year. Typically this will be comprised of four 30 credit modules. The exact number may differ if the programme is comprised of 15, 45 or 60 credits modules. An honours degree student will complete modules totalling 120 credits at level four, modules totalling 120 credits at level five and modules totalling 120 credits at level six.

This is done through a process of programme approval which involves consulting academic experts including some subject specialists from other institutions. How we monitor the quality of this programme The quality of this programme is monitored each year through evaluating: external examiner reports (considering quality and standards); statistical information (considering issues such as the pass rate); student feedback. Drawing on this and other information, programme teams undertake the annual Review and Enhancement Process which is co-ordinated at School level and includes student participation. The process is monitored by the Quality and Standards Committee. Once every six years an in-depth review of the whole field is undertaken by a panel that includes at least two external subject specialists. The panel considers documents, looks at student work, speaks to current and former students and
17 speaks to staff before drawing its conclusions. The result is a report highlighting good practice and identifying areas where action is needed. The role of the programme committee This programme has a programme committee comprising all relevant teaching staff, student representatives and others who make a contribution towards the effective operation of the programme (e.g. library/technician staff). The committee has responsibilities for the quality of the programme. It provides input into the operation of the Review and Enhancement Process and proposes changes to improve quality. The programme committee plays a critical role in the quality assurance procedures. The role of external examiners The standard of this programme is monitored by at least one external examiner. External examiners have two primary responsibilities: To ensure the standard of the programme; To ensure that justice is done to individual students. External examiners fulfil these responsibilities in a variety of ways including: Approving exam papers/assignments; Attending assessment boards; Reviewing samples of student work and moderating marks; Ensuring that regulations are followed; Providing feedback through an annual report that enables us to make improvements for the future. The external examiner reports for this programme are located on the UEL virtual learning environment (Moodle) on the school notice board under the section entitled External Examiner Reports & Responses.
