Students will learn through full-time or part-time face-to-face mode with online support. Regular face-to-face lectures and tutorials are available in all the prescribed courses except dissertation course SCI 8029SEF. Workshops, visits or laboratory sessions are available in some courses as well. These face-to-face sessions aim to provide opportunities for students to discuss academic issues with their lecturers and acquire practical laboratory skills. All the prescribed courses will also be supported by the HKMU Online Learning Environment (OLE) which provides online discussion for interaction among students and between lecturers and students. This allows discussion of theories explained in the courses, their applications and evaluations.
The programme allows suitably qualified science graduates to pursue further studies in Medical Laboratory Science which will enable them to move towards a career path in healthcare. The graduate may pursue a career in medical testing. Another important move up the academic ladder is possible for the graduate as they may proceed to doctoral/master studies in medicine-related areas. Upon gaining a higher degree, the student may adopt a research career and better serve the community through scientific advancement. In addition, graduates of the programme will find a variety of career opportunities in governmental laboratories, biotech and pharmaceutical industries and technical specialists and consultants.
