    Competence objectives of the study unit
    The students
    - have profound insights into biochemical bioanalysis.
    - are familiar with medication analysis, toxicological examinations and the determination of tumour markers, porphyrins, vitamines and tracers, and know the diseases connected to these examinations.
    - understand the role of laboratory results and result interpretation within biochemical bioanalytics.
    - command the terminology within clinical biochemistry.
    - are able to plan a clinical biochemical laboratory examination.
    - are familiar with the laboratory work process in its entirety, but also its phases: the preanalytical, analytical and postanalytical.
    - are able to use sources of information and scientific publications that are central to the field, concerning methods, reference ranges, illness diagnostics and current research within biochemical bioanalysis.
    - are prepared to improve quality and consider sustainable development within bioanalysis.

    Assessment criteria – good (3-4)
    Exam
    can account for the literature, reflect and motivate his/her views
    can give an independent account of the literature
    understands most of the topic
    presents independent views and can apply ideas to analogous situations
    can motivate some of their claims and positions
    can give some own examples

    Written assignment
    The student has mostly followed the instructions for the written assignment and has mastered the substance of her/his work, but the application is limited. The student can ask relevant questions and can lead a discussion at the seminar.
