Bachelor of Biomedical Sciences (Hons) (ODL) - International Students

This programme focuses on how cells, organs and systems function in the human body; an exciting and dynamic area that is highly relevant to the understanding and treatment of human diseases. As long as new strains of diseases emerge, causing a detrimental effect on the health of our communities, biomedical science will play an important role in healthcare delivery. Correct diagnosis of disease is imperative. Patients’ lives rely greatly on the results of clinical laboratory investigations conducted by capable biomedical scientists. As such, biomedical science is a profession that will continue to expand, especially in Malaysia where there has been rapid growth in the healthcare system.

The aim of this course is to assist students, in a structured way, in orienting and training themselves in areas of selected professional interest. The purpose is to provide fundamental knowledge to build skills needed for successful career achievement. This objective seeks to make the graduate employable and trainable. Another objective is also to train students in laboratory skills such as planning of experiments, data acquisition, management and analysis to a selected research problem.

Modes of delivery include asynchronous e-learning (Online learning materials), synchronous e-learning (Online teaching), face to face lectures & tutorials and practical sessions (At the learning Centers).
