Examination Methods

In order to pass the exam, students should demonstrate to have learned the necessary knowledges listed in the programme, to demonstrate skills in exposing their arguments in a critical and precise way, using an appropriate scientific language.
The Medical Genetics exam consists of a mutiple choice written test questions, open questions and exercises: 13 multiple choice questions, 5 answers (two points each), and two short open questions. The exam is passed if the score is equal to or greater than 18/30. The positive score is considered valid throughout the academic year. Six exams are planned yearly: two in Winter, 2 in Summer and 2 in Autumn.

Students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (SLD), who intend to request the adaptation of the exam, must follow the instructions given HERE
