In project based teaching students take responsibility for learning while the teacher takes up the role of coach, facilitating the learning process of the students and giving support in case of problems.
As the projects is based on a realistic problem in biomedical research, as encountered in real life situations, students need to use knowledge and skills that were acquired in all previously followed courses. They work in team, making it necessary to develop good communication and coöperation skills.

International, English speaking students can participate in a projectgroup.

The work placement in this course aimes familiarizing students with the different domains of the work field, in order to facilitate a deliberate choice for the final internship of the training.

This course consists of the following parts:

Project based group work
internship: observation

There are no prerequisites for this course.

Domain-specific Learning Outcome 1
Professional bachelor students of Bio-Medical Laboratory Technology plan their activities autonomously and carry out their tasks within a set time frame systematically and efficiently
Domain-specific Learning Outcome 2
Professional bachelor students of Bio-Medical Laboratory Technology carry out biomedical laboratory activities in a substantiated manner autonomously, reliably and critically. They establish problems, report them and contribute to an acceptable solution.
Domain-specific Learning Outcome 8
Professional bachelor students of Bio-Medical Laboratory Technology submit clear and correct reports on research data, analysis results, projects and processing of scientific literature, using the appropriate biomedical specialist terminology in languages other than Dutch.
Domain-specific Learning Outcome 9
Professional bachelor students of Bio-Medical Laboratory Technology communicate adequately with the target groups. They collaborate in a team constructively and respectfully within an intra- and inter-professional context.
Domain-specific Learning Outcome 10
Professional bachelor students of Bio-Medical Laboratory Technology make an active contribution to the practical completion of biomedical, scientific research on the basis of scientific sources and current developments.
BLT-HoGent-specific Learning Outcome 11
Professional bachelor students of Bio-Medical Laboratory Technology constantly reflect on their own performance, analyse their learning needs and autonomously translate these into initiatives for professionalizing their jobs.
