Structure of the programme
________________________________________


The Bachelor in Biomedicine programme is composed of a major and a minor and is worth a total of 180 credits.
The Biomedicine major includes 150 credits. It comprises basic science training attracting 60 credits (1st year) and training attracting 90 credits (2nd and 3rd years) allowing students to acquire knowledge essential for an understanding of human psychopathology. Courses in English and human sciences (philosophy, psychology) also form part of the programme.
The minor includes 30 credits and completes the programme. These 30 credits are divided over years 2 and 3 of the bachelor’s programme, at 15 credits per year.
Students can choose between two types of minor:
• An additional module (of the biomedicine major)
• An access module (to other disciplines; this training is organised by other schools or faculties).
The additional module classes provide the chance to get to know the different foci offered in the Master’s: research focus, professional focus: toxicology, professional focus: human nutrition, professional focus: clinical biomedicine.
