Module Aims
On successful completion students will acquire a variety of advanced technical and analytical skills such as data and information handling, safe laboratory practice and advanced biomedical techniques essential to being a biomedical scientist
This module is delivered through practical sessions in order to further develop the practical and transferable skills required to be a successful Biomedical Scientist.
In engaging with the module, students will fully achieve the following level-appropriate Behaviour Domains of the USW Graduate Attributes: Commercial Awareness: Behaviour 1, 2,3
Communication: Behaviour 1, 2, 3
Leadership: Behaviour 1, 2
Innovation and Enterprise: Behaviour 2, 3
Project Management: Behaviour 2, 3
Digital Literacy: Behaviour 1, 2
The Capabilities associated with these behaviours are found in the Graduate Attributes table at the end of the descriptor.
Content Summary
Building on the foundations of the techniques established in the Biomedical Science in Practice (BI1S211) module students will have themed days, covering but not limited to, application of further specialised Biomedical Science techniques, including a molecular, in vitro , in vivo , haematology and diagnostics..
