Course Details

_{The MSc program is a full-time course spanning 2 years, 120 ECTS credits, which aligns with the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS). It encompasses various teaching and learning methods, including homework, exams, independent study, and two 6-week internships. With a predominantly online and distance-based structure, students have the flexibility to work at their own pace and accommodate their studies alongside their jobs. Online classes require an estimated commitment of 20 hours per week.}

_{Online module materials are expected to be accessible approximately one month prior to the corresponding on-campus session. While some modules are entirely conducted online, specific information about each module will be shared with students via Moodle at the start of every academic year.}

_{In order to evaluate student progress and the criteria that will decide graduation, all modules of the master’s require a minimum of two grades mapped to the learning outcomes of each module. Where possible, authentic assessment is being implemented, i.e., assessments that reflect real-world activities which molecular pathology students might face, such as case studies and molecular tumor boards, alongside this, traditional exams (i.e., multiple choice questions, short essays) can be used for more factual based content. The internships carry the greatest weight in terms of both ECTS and student workload: each internship must be followed up with an internship report, and the 2nd year internship also requires an oral viva. Grading is based on the system 0–20. In order to graduate, students must satisfy a minimum of 10 in each module, and on final grading, an average of minimum 10 across each year.}
