Course Content

The internship first of all offers students the opportunity to apply the competencies developed and acquired in their training, in an actual work environment. They will be confronted with situations that can hardly, if at all, be simulated at the university college. During the internship, students will learn to recognize and solve problems independently and to carry out assigned duties to a successful conclusion. They are expected to prove they are able to function as an individual and as a colleague in an employment context. The internship prepares students for their future professional lives.
Course internships in clinical biology laboratories are intended primarily to practice modern analytical techniques, to manage samples, and to update the knowledge within the relevant discipline.
