Degree Course Chair:  Prof. Renzo Boldorini

The degree course in Biomedical Laboratory Science lasts 3 years. The teaching activities are divided into 180 total credits, of which at least 57 are acquired in training activities aimed at developing specific professional skills.

The course is restricted in number. Entry requirements for the course are the possession of a high school diploma and the passing of an admission test. For information on registration, use the UPO risponde platform.

The course aims to train graduates for the profession of Biomedical Laboratory Technician in chemical-clinical and microbiological analysis laboratories, transfusion services, pathological anatomy laboratories, public and private environmental analysis laboratories. The professional preparation also allows graduates to carry out activities in laboratory analysis of the food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. In addition to teaching the basic biological disciplines, a significant part of the course is dedicated to theoretical / practical learning of skills in the most modern methodologies used in the various sectors of laboratory medicine, with particular regard to the application of molecular diagnostic technologies, bio- information technology and quality control and management procedures. For this purpose, more than half of the degree course didactic activity is located in chemical-clinical and microbiological analysis laboratories, and immune-transfusion centres of the hospitals of Novara, Biella, Vercelli and Borgomanero.
