On the distance-learning Vocational Training (FP) course in Clinical and Biomedical Laboratory Science, the lecturers teaching the various modules have extensive professional experience in the field:
On the distance-learning Vocational Training (FP) course in Clinical and Biomedical Laboratory Technology, you will complete your two-year programme online, with compulsory in-person work placements as part of the Workplace Training Module (FFE). During this period, you will be able to apply all the knowledge you have learnt in a real-world work setting. Furthermore, you will develop professional skills and gain first-hand insight into the processes that govern the sector’s working environment.
Our students will have the opportunity to undertake work placements in clinical and microbiological analysis laboratories, as well as in research centres, to gain professional experience and apply the knowledge acquired during their training.
