The degree programme aims to provide students with a broad education in speech and language behaviour, related pathology and communication therapy as recommended in the guidelines of the International Association of Logopedics and Phoniatrics for initial education in speech and language pathology. It aims to develop students’ professional skills and to produce accountable and competent practitioners.
The degree covers foundation topics in mathematical, physical and computation required to model a process both theoretically as well as numerically. The teaching methodology emphasises the interlinking between these three aspects through both theoretical and practical applications. Computational practical sessions are carried out with the theoretical physics lectures while physical applications are used in the computational classes’ assignments so as to create a continuous transition between mathematical, physical and numerical analysis.
The course will span 3 academic years, inclusive of 2 semesters per year and a summer period. This will allow the student to be exposed to the theoretical and scientific foundation of the profession and also become skilful in clinical practice within the professional environment of the teaching hospital. The primary objective of the course is to re-establish the profession of dental hygiene on a national level. More specifically the course will provide a sufficient body of knowledge to enable dental hygienists to undertake their prescribed work with care, safety and responsibility and to recognise the full scope of their remit.
This three-year undergraduate course, inclusive of the summer period, provides students with an introductory knowledge to the theory and scientific foundation of dental technology. It prepares the students with the necessary skills in laboratory practice within the professional environment of the teaching laboratory.
Earth Systems Science is precisely such an emerging field of study, and the B.Sc. (Hons) in Earth Systems will transcend disciplinary boundaries in order to adopt an integrated and holistic approach to the study of our planet. It will consider the various physical components of the earth system and interactions between these, whilst framing issues of environmental change within a broader context of environmental, social, economic and cultural sustainability.
This is a four-year program that consist of two parts, namely, Part One comprising the first three years and Part Two comprising the fourth year. Throughout the course, whenever possible, study-units are designed to include laboratory/field/computational components so as to give the students a hands-on experience of modern geoscientific methods and tools, and a sound preparation for an eventual career with geoscience applications. The design of the undergraduate physics course reflects the need to provide as wide a base as the human resources of the department permit. It is intended to provide a sound basis in the subject during the first three years, with some specialisation in chosen areas offered during the final year.
The programme therefore enables students to acquire a diversity of skills. Specifically, students reading for a BSc in HLT will acquire a grounding in practical, applied areas such as statistical analysis and computer programming, as well as more theoretically oriented areas which require abstract thinking and reasoning. Students will be expected to develop a number of personal, cognitive and communication skills, in addition to subject-specific ones.
The course in Medical Biochemistry BSc (Hons) deals with the study of human biology at the molecular level, where biology meets chemistry. Medical Biochemistry is the interface between cellular biology, medicine and chemistry and gives an understanding of how the human body functions, the molecular changes that result in disease and how this knowledge may be applied to the development of therapeutic agents and diagnostic technologies.
The intercalated degree is intended to offer innovative opportunities to Medical Students who wish to enhance their research skills possibly with the longer term intention of pursuing careers as “physician scientists”. It permits medical students to exit and join postgraduate programmes offered by the Faculty of Medicine and Surgery or other Faculties or to re-enter the MD course at a later time.
This is a three-year full-time program with a total of 180 ECTS (credits). The course includes several areas ranging from the basic rural sciences (cell biology, biochemistry, chemistry, soil, water, microbiology and genetics) to more applied rural sciences (farm animals, crops, biotechnology, herb science, aquaculture and food systems). Other aspects include analytical skills in measurement (physics, mathematics, modelling and data mining/management/processing), Mediterranean agro-ecosystems resource management, policy and regulation (economics, marketing, policies, legislation and environmental stewardship).
