Entry requirements
Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission
requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the
programme, or corresponding.
Prerequisities
Basic skills from first and second academic year at LiTH.
The course will provide the student the possibility to acquire basic knowledge in the
science of medicine, usable for a general understanding of the human anatomy and
physiology. The course is preparatory for further studies in Biomedical Engineering and
Medical Informatics. After finishing the course, the student will independently be able to:
Explain the human anatomy. The student must be able to describe how different
parts of the body are compounded and to name the most important parts.
Explain the human physiology. The student must be able to describe how the
different parts of the body work, independently as well as in a context.
Course content
Medical terminology. Medical Ethics. The cellular level of organisation. Organ systems of
the body: bone-, skeletal- and muscle tissue, nervous system, special senses,
cardiovascular system, respiratory system, digestive system, reproductive system.
