Laboratory assays are increasingly important in disease diagnostics, disease monitoring and prevention; they are one of the clearest examples of the how scientific discoveries have been translated into medical practice.

The programme in Biomedical Laboratory Techniques includes a grounding in scientific subjects and their application to execute various analytical methods and interpret their results. The training provided will enable students to learn the following skills:

• analytical and diagnostic techniques in laboratory medicine clinical labs;
• principles for operating and using laboratory devices;
• specific information on Italian and international organisational, management and legislative issues;
• in-depth review of issues associated to professional ethics and code of conduct.

This degree includes a strict placement programme in professional practices in several different certified facilities.

This is the only degree that allows graduates to take part in recruitment competitions organised by public healthcare facilities.

Lessons are held in Italian.
