Teaching is both on campus and through distance learning techniques. The students also acquire knowledge and practice fulfilment of course objectives through compulsory laboratory work/seminars. During the course students work both individually and in groups to develop their knowledge. Other teaching methods may also be used. The content of the course components and its teaching methods are specifically tailored for the radiographer profession.Examination The examination takes place both individually and in groups. Alternative examination methods may be used.Remarks This is a first-cycle course.
