ΠΕΡΙΓΡΑΦΗ ΤΟΥ ΠΤΥΧΙΟΥΧΟΥ ΤΟΥ ΤΜΗΜΑΤΟΣ
Με την ολοκλήρωση των σπουδών τους οι πτυχιούχοι του τμήματος, αποκτούν τις απαραίτητες επιστημονικές και τεχνολογικές γνώσεις και ικανότητες, ώστε να δραστηριοποιούνται ως Βιοϊατρικοί Επιστήμονες στους Ιατρικούς Τομείς που αναφέρονται στο αντικείμενο σπουδών τους αλλά και σε άλλους που έχουν σχέση με το γνωστικό τους αντικείμενο.
Το πτυχίο Βιοϊατρικών Επιστημών προσφέρει την ακαδημαϊκή γνώση και δεξιότητα εκτέλεσης του τεχνικού μέρους όλων των εργαστηριακών μεθόδων που διενεργούνται σε διαγνωστικά Ιατρικά εργαστήρια. Κατ’ αναλογία και με άλλες χώρες του εξωτερικού, οι φοιτητές του τμήματος εκπαιδεύονται ώστε να απασχολούνται σε φορείς που παρέχουν υπηρεσίες σχετικές με το γνωστικό τους αντικείμενο, στο δημόσιο και στον ιδιωτικό τομέα σε εργαστήρια, ερευνητικά κέντρα και στην εκπαίδευση (δευτεροβάθμια και τριτοβάθμια). Χρησιμοποιούν σύγχρονες εργαστηριακές μεθόδους και εργάζονται σε συνεργασία με άλλους εργαστηριακούς επιστήμονες υγείας (ιατρούς, βιολόγους, βιοχημικούς, τεχνολόγους) ενώ η άσκηση καθηκόντων τους είναι υψηλής ευθύνης.
Biomedical Sciences Department
The Biomedical Sciences Department of School of Health Sciences of the
International Hellenic University-IHU (formerly known as Alexandreio Technological
Educational Institute) is a public University offering both a BSc in Biomedical Sciences
(4-year course) and a Master of Science course, named “Biomedical and Molecular
Sciences: Diagnosis and Treatment”, in cooperation with the Medical School of
Democritus University, Thrace.
To earn a Bachelor’s of Science in Biomedical Sciences, students must initially
achieve a high score in Biology, Physics, Chemistry and Modern Greek language
(15000 minimum out of 20000) in national examinations after high school and
lyceum graduation, in order to qualify for acceptance into the program. The degree
is awarded upon completion of the university’s didactic and clinical program.
Our program offers courses in the biomedical sciences, including anatomy,
physiology, histology, cytology, biology, molecular biology, genetics, biochemistry,
clinical chemistry, microbiology, clinical microbiology, immunology, mycology,
virology, Hygiene, parasitology, biotechnology, hematology, blood transfusion,
pathology. As the courses progress, increasing emphasis is placed on scientific
research, as students obtain first-hand experience of laboratory research in the later
stages. Students choose their own diploma thesis and the possible areas for
investigation within the University are wide ranging. Our program also offers to our
students a six-month traineeship in the laboratories of Public Hospitals, private
Diagnostic Laboratories or Research Institutions.
With the completion of the courses of studies, graduates of the Department of
Biomedical Sciences acquire the essential scientific and technological skills and
knowledge in order to work as Biomedical Scientists in Medical Laboratory Sector
and in other areas related to their studies. They are highly qualified for entry into the
technical work force in the biotechnology and/or pharmaceutical industry, as well as
to support academic research endeavors in federally funded research programs.
There are approximately 800 students enrolled in the department’s undergraduate
major in Biomedical Sciences. The Biomedical Sciences department of IHU has an
ongoing interest in multinational cooperation both for student and academics
participating in different Erasmus and other international Programs.
Our MSc program “Biomedical and Molecular Sciences: Diagnosis and Treatment” in
cooperation with the Medical School of Democritus University, Thrace is limited
access requiring a separate application and acceptance. The program offers
extensive student laboratory sessions in highly technical student laboratories both in
our Department in Sindos, Thessaloniki as well as in Medical School in
Alexandroupoli, Thrace.
