Bachelor diploma Biomedical Sciences or equivalent.
Description
The number of ECTS will be between 29.0-49.0 (dependent on profile)
In order to achieve the objectives the student familiarises him/herself with the existing knowledge in the field to which the research question pertains. He/she carries out individual research in order to obtain answers to the research questions and participates as a member of the research team, in the departmental and/or laboratory consultations and in work discussions.
This research project includes the usual stages of planning and preliminary literature research, the research itself and reporting of the results, both written and orally.
