The programme can be studied only as a single subject.
Submission deadline until midnight 28 February 2025.
What will you learn?
This Bachelor’s study programme aims to train graduates for highly specialized work in medical (clinical and research) laboratories, primarily in the following areas: clinical biochemistry, clinical haematology, immunohaematology and blood transfusion service, clinical immunology, clinical microbiology, clinical genetics, and histopathological examination methods. The programme is designed to increase the theoretical knowledge and initial practical skills of laboratory technicians through multidisciplinary education that allows them to adapt to the demands and developments in individual fields, especially with regard to the ongoing consolidation of individual areas of laboratory medicine. Graduates are qualified and competent to work as non-physician healthcare workers in the Czech Republic with the option of finding a position in another state of the EU.
Practical training
This study programme aims to provide high-quality practical training in standard clinical laboratory settings, allowing the students to gain practical skills while using modern analytic equipment and other instruments and following standard logistics, operational, and organizational laboratory procedures. The curriculum includes the main features of pre-analytical, analytical, and post-analytical processes and allows students to learn about the significance and practical application of teamwork.
Practical training takes place at facilities specialized in the seven main areas of clinical lab activity during the 5th semester in two 4-day blocks . The laboratories are located at: University Hospital Brno – Department of Clinical Biochemistry, Department of Clinical Haematology, Department of Medical Genetics, Department of Transfusion Medicine and Blood Bank, Institute of Pathology and Anatomy; and St. Anne’s University Hospital – Department of Microbiology, Department of Immunology.
The topics of practical training are described in course outlines for each of the fields of laboratory work. The course, completion, and evaluation of the training is recorded in a simple logbook.
Career opportunities
Graduates can find employment as highly qualified professionals in the laboratories of health-care facilities or research institutions. The sound theoretical knowledge and practical skills obtained during their studies and in standard medical laboratories mean that they can find work in all types of medical laboratories, research and education institutions, food, water, and product safety authorities.
