The aim of the SBEX orientation is to train university graduates in sophisticated experimental research and development. The programme content focuses on complementary courses in all basic subjects and on initiation into experimental research through the importance of the thesis.

For all complementary information concerning the programme, please address the President of the programme management committee or the school's secetary's office.

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.

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

[partim pharmacokinetics : 15 hours]

[partim 35 hours + 12.5 hours : bacteriology, mycology, parasitology]

one of the 3 following courses subject to registering at the Biomedical Sciences secretary's office

and a language course

60 hours minimum for the year, to be chosen in agreement with the promoter and the programme management committee.

Consult the recommended options list below.

Students with a non-university higher education diploma who have successfully completed their entrance exam may, depending on their previous studies, have to add a supplement of maximum 150 hours to their programme in the first or second cycle at the school, with the approval of the programme manager.

The information concerning this apprenticeship is available at the secretary's office.

This apprenticeship takes place during the programme of the 2nd year of the first cycle of university studies ("candidature") in Biomedical Sciences, but can be validated at the end of the 1st year of the "licence" programme at the latest.

120 hours minimum for the year, to be chosen with the agreement of the promoter and the programme management committee.

This thesis consists of a personal scientific piece of work, in the domain of Experimental Biomedical Sciences carried out, at least in part, in one of the Faculty of Medecine laboratories 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" programme (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.

[partim : 22,5 hours]

Besides the programmes of the 3rd cycle and the PhD, organised by the School of Biomedical Sciences, the graduate students in Biomedical Sciences also have access to the programmes organised in other schools or institutes, including the following :

- specialised study diploma in Environment Sciences and Management (ENVI3DS)
