Objective 1
The BSc Honours in Medical laboratory Science Program is designed to encourage development of knowledge, understanding and skills with increasing complexity as the students advance through the four years of the program. To facilitate and encourage a student- centred approach to learning, generic program outcomes have been developed for each level of study. These ‘program level outcomes’ reflect the expectations of student learning for each level of the program representing the increasing complexity of the program content through the years of study, and should also serve as a benchmark for students to reflect on how their own learning relates to the expected outcomes. The ‘program level outcomes’ align with the ‘course learning outcomes’ for each level of the program. At the end of first year, a student will able to:
-
