The Department of Biomedical Sciences, of the School of Health and Care Sciences, at the University of West Attica, was recently established by the collaboration-merge of the former Departments of 1) Aesthetics & Cosmetic Science, 2) Radiology and Radiotherapy, 3) Medical Laboratories Science, 4) Dental Technology, and 5) Optics and Optometry of the School of Health and Care Professions of the Technological Educational Institute of Athens.

 

The aim of the Department of Biomedical Sciences is to provide trainee scientists with high quality education in order for them to develop a high-level of proficiency, skills and abilities within the broader field of Biomedical Sciences.

 

The Department Undergraduate Curriculum has been developed according to the international curricula standards and approaches, following a recent search in every cognitive subject of the new divisions and taking into account the guidelines of the Hellenic Quality Assurance & Accreditation Agency.

 

The Department covers subject areas of the broader and ever-evolving scientific field of Biomedical Sciences and their Applications. Ιt is comprised of:

  • Five (5) divisions of advanced semesters (Aesthetics & Cosmetic Science, Radiation and Radiotherapy, Medical Laboratories Science, Dental Technology, Optics and Optometry)
  • A declarative element of the provided degree is the Division’s title Students entering the Department attend three (3) semesters with common core courses in Biomedical Sciences.

 

Subsequently students choose one of the following divisions:

  • Division – Sector “Aesthetics & Cosmetic Science” Upon successful attendance, students graduate with the degree of “Biomedical Sciences, Division: Aesthetics & Cosmetic Science” with duration of studies (8) semesters.
  • Division – Sector “Radiology and Radiotherapy” Upon successful attendance, students graduate with the degree of “Biomedical Sciences, Division: Radiology and Radiotherapy” with duration of studies (8) semesters.
  • Division – Sector “Medical Laboratories Science” Upon successful attendance, students graduate with the degree of “Biomedical Sciences, Division: Medical Laboratories Science” with duration of studies (8) semesters.
  • Division – Sector “Dental Technology” Upon successful attendance, students graduate with the degree of “Biomedical Sciences, Division: Dental Technology” with duration of studies (8) semesters.
  • Division – Sector “Optics and Optometry” Upon successful attendance, students graduate with the degree of “Biomedical Sciences, Division: Optics and Optometry” with duration of studies (8) semesters.

 

By the end of Undergraduate course curriculum, the graduate has:

  • a high level of basic proficiency at Biomedical Sciences, and skills that are useful in the diagnosis and treatment of human pathophysiological conditions.
  • Special background knowledge and specialization in the subject area of the aforementioned divisions.
