Aim of the Programme

The MSc Programme in Biomedical Sciences aims to offer quality education and to have graduates with a high degree of professional ethos and expertise in the specialization fields associated with laboratory diagnosis and monitoring of diseases.

It is an integrated programme committed to promote instruction of core theory, practice and research principles of biomedical sciences as well as to promote the teaching of clinical specialities (modalities) in one of the following fields: Immunology, Microbiology, Clinical Biochemistry or Hematology.

To begin with, the programme aims to enable graduates to specialize in Immunology (this application). In due course, concentration courses in the other fields (i.e. Microbiology, Clinical Biochemistry and Hematology) will be added to the programme, giving the option to graduates to study and specialize in one or more areas if they wish.

Educational Aims of the Programme:

The educational aims of the programme refer to and comply with the subject benchmarking of the EC4 European Syllabus for Post-Graduate training in Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine: version 4-2012 as well as with those of the UK QAA organization (ISBN 1 84482 146 3 © Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education 2004).

The general aims that apply to all concentrations of the programme (Immunology, Biochemistry, Microbiology, Hematology) are:

  • To provide knowledge of and insight into the biochemical processes in human health and disease.
  • To introduce the scientific basis of modern bioanalytical instrumentation and technologies used for research and clinical diagnosis
  • To promote the practice of transferable skills in data collection, analysis, evaluation, interpretation and reporting.
  • To promote research skills and enable graduates to develop, evaluate and provide new diagnostic services.
  • To teach the competencies required for managing and auditing scientific techniques and procedures and for maintaining quality standards.
  • To teach practices of Quality Assurance, and introduce management skills for the smooth organization/functions and safety of a clinical laboratory.
  • To enable graduates to enrich life-long learning skills for communication, teaching others and working in a multi-disciplinary environment.
  • To teach the ethical consideration in the profession of Biomedical Technology/Clinical Laboratory Science.
Aims specific to the concentration of Immunology:

  • To provide an in depth knowledge of aspects related to the structure and functions of the immune system.
  • To present the effectors of immune responses related to defense mechanisms, the development of allergy and the development of autoimmunity.
  • To provide an in depth knowledge of other health consequences due to abnormal functions of the immune system.
  • To identify response markers and present the immunotechnology based methods for the detection, diagnosis and monitoring of immune and other diseases.
  • To provide knowledge on modern molecular-based methods and technologies used in the clinical diagnosis of immune-related disfunctions.
  • To present recent advances in immunology research, prophylaxis and immunotherapy.
