Prerequisites for admission
To take the System Diseases 2 exam, students must have already passed all the exams of the first and second year (Fundamentals of Basic Sciences, Cells, Molecules and Genes 1 and 2, Human Body, Functions and Mechanisms of Diseases).
Assessment methods and Criteria
Student assessment is based on a combination of written and oral examinations. The written exam is a multiple choice test focused on the topics of the modules: Clinical Biochemistry, Microbiology, Pathology. Only students who successfully pass the written tests of all subjects (threshold 7/10) are allowed to take the oral examination, focused on the modules: Diagnostic Imaging, Respiratory Diseases and Blood Diseases.
The oral examination must be passed in the same session as the written examination. The students must undergo both written and oral examination on the same day. . Examinations on two consecutive days are seldom possible depending upon the availability of teachers or rooms. If the student does not pass successfully the oral examination, the positive result at the written test is valid only within the same session.
The final mark is the weighted average of the marks obtained in the oral examinations.
Attendance is required to be allowed to take the exam. Unexcused absence is tolerated up to 34% of the course activities. University policy regarding excused illness is followed.
Registration to the exam through SIFA is mandatory.
