The second part describes the different systems of the human body: skeletal, muscular, circulatory, respiratory, digestive, urogenital and nervous.

Prior Experience

Basics in general biology.

Type of Assessment for UE in Q2

• Written examination

Method of calculating the overall mark for the Q2 UE assessment

The overall score is calculated on the basis of a weighting: 1/3 for the embryology part, 2/3 for the anatomy part.

Q2 UE Assessment Comments

Mixed written exam, with open questions and multiple choice questions. There is no partial exemption within this teaching unit. A student with a score lower than 10/20 must represent both parts of the exam in the second session.

Type of Assessment for UE in Q3

• Written examination

Method of calculating the overall mark for the Q3 UE assessment

The overall score is calculated on the basis of a weighting: 1/3 for the embryology part, 2/3 for the anatomy part.

Q3 UE Assessment Comments
