At the successful conclusion of this module, you should be able to demonstrate the following module level learning outcomes (MLOs):
MLO.1 Knowledge & Understanding • Describe prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell structure and organelles. • Explain the nucleus, cell cycle, mitosis, meiosis, and basic cellular activities. MLO.2 Application of Knowledge • Identify cell components in diagrams or micrographs. • Apply cytological knowledge to explain basic cell functions. MLO.3 Autonomy of Judgement • Distinguish normal from variant cellular structures. • Select correct explanations for observed cell features or stages of the cell cycle. MLO.4 Learning Skills • Use learning resources to support understanding of cell structure and function. • Recognize the link between cytology, histology, and organ development.
Course Prerequisites

Teaching Methods
Teaching methods include lectures, discussion and guided independent study. Lectures present key concepts (supports LO.1, LO.2) and include interactive discussion of clinical areas and research themes (supports LO.2-3). Teaching will include guidance to help you prepare for the exam (supports LO.5) and throughout you will be presented with references to further readings and other materials on the e-learning platform to support your development (supports LO.5).
Teaching on this course is enhanced by our visiting Professors, international experts, who will provide seminars on clinical and research areas (LO.3).
