Specific study objectives for the programme in Biomedical Sciences, orientation: Clinical Biomedical Sciences

The aim of this orientation is to train professionals in the domain of clinical research which invoves the patient and the illness more as a subject of observation and hypothesis. These studies essentially relate to pathology, pharmacology and notions of analysis of clinical groups.

This orientation adresses, in particular, student who have successfully completed their first university study cycle ("candidature") in Biomedical, Medical or Pharmaceutical Sciences.

For all complementary information concerning the studies, please addresse the Vice-President of the programme management committee or the secretary's office of the school.

Admission conditions for the "licence" programmes in Biomedical Sciences

The "licence" programmes are accessible to the following students :

  • holders of the "candidat" diploma in Biomedical Sciences, Medecine, Pharmaceutical Sciences, Dental Sciences, Agronomic Sciences and Sciences (Biological, Chemical and Veterinary), from a Belgian or a Luxembourg university;
  • holders of a university diploma juged to be equivalent in domains other than those mentioned above subject to analysis of the application ;
  • holders of a non-university higher diploma ("gradué") in Chemistry, clinical chemistry, medical biology or dietetics subject to passing an admission exam and adding a possible complement of studies for 150 hours maximum ;
  • those who have passed the first two years of the "candidature" in medecine, subject to the approval of the Committee of Biomedical Sciences and a complement of studies.

Admission procedure

The admission procedures and inscription at the University are detailed in the "General Information" pamphlet of the study Programme.

Thesis

This thesis consists of a personal scientific piece of work in the domain of clinical research and written, at least in part, in a unit of the Faculty of Medecine or in one of the University clinic services at Saint-Luc, in Mont Godinne, or a hospital network (CRHU), under the scientific responsibility of a member of the permanent academic or scientific personnel of UCL. The writing of the thesis involves at least 90 hours of seminars, work meetings or supervised practical work, under the responsibility of the promoter.

In the case where, after the agreement of the management committee, the thesis is carried out in another faculty, in a non-university centre of research, or in industry, a member of the management committee will intervene in the supervision of the thesis in the capacity of co-promoter. The work on the thesis will begin as from the first year of the licence (SBIC 21). The domain in which it will be written will be communicated to the committee with the written agreement of the promoter by 30th November of the first year of the programme, at the latest.
