Online Applied Science Technology Degree :: Accredited Universities

This MSc distance-learning course is designed to promote a deep understanding of the emerging mixed disciplinary area of blood science. You will examine different theoretical perspectives, methodological approaches, research interests and practical applications within the subject area, as an independent learner.

Designed with input from current practitioners in the field, the course is suitable for biomedical science practitioners and graduates of biomedical or related life sciences. The programme covers areas relevant to staff working within or wishing to work in blood science departments within pathology.

Delivered as a flexible distance-learning programme through our e-Portal WebLearn, you will be able to continue to work whilst studying. The self-guided eLearning materials have been specially designed to support your engagement with the course content.

Each module has a module leader who is responsible for developing the curriculum and coordinating the production of the eLearning materials. Some sessions are ‘broadcast live’ with modules running face-to-face so you can engage with tutors, lecturers and other students. You can also contact your module leader and discuss ideas with other students via email, discussion boards, and during live peer-to-peer support sessions.

Your final research project is to be conducted in your place of work with joint supervision provided by your laboratory training officer and a member of staff from the School of Human Sciences. For those not working in a suitable laboratory, research may be conducted at London Metropolitan University with additional bench fees for materials.

The course is designed to support professionals in their career development in the healthcare profession, biomedical/biotechnology industry or in academia and has the potential to lead on to doctoral studies.

We have applied for accreditation from the Institute of Biomedical Science (IBMS) for 2014.

This course has many benefits:

You can study at your own pace, with the support of our Biomedical Science team - no attendance required.
Single modules can be undertaken to gain continuing professional development (CPD) points.
You can start your course either in the September or January of the academic year.

Entry Requirements

The normal standard of entry is a First or Second Class Honours first degree, or equivalent, in biomedical or life sciences subjects (that included appropriate biomedical content), although other less relevant subjects may be considered.

Lower grades, or non-degree qualifications supplemented by substantial work experience may be considered at interview.

Equivalent overseas qualifications will also be accepted; evidence of proficiency in English will also be required such as IELTS 7.0 (6.5 minimum in each component) or equivalent.

The Bachelor of Interdisciplinary Studies (BIS) program is exclusively designed for learners with at least two years of transferable credit from institutions other than UNCP, who hold either Associate in Applied Arts or Associate in Applied Science degrees. The program serves adult students, in particular, who seek a broad, more flexible degree program to help them to advance or become more established in their careers or to improve their understanding of the world around them. The BIS is intended for a set of diverse students who bring to the university many academic, personal, and work-related experiences. They may choose the BIS program because (1) they are aware that they are more employable in many occupations with the degree, (2) that learning in the arts and sciences and in a field of specialization leads to understanding and empowerment, and (3) they review their personal plans and recognize that they can effectively meet their most important goals for a bachelor's degree through the BIS. The Bachelor of Interdisciplinary Studies in Criminal Justice prepares graduates for a variety of criminal justice careers, including traditional police, courts, and corrections jobs in the public sector and ever expanding opportunities in the private sector. This major gives students an overall understanding of the organization and administration of the American criminal justice system and an academic concentration to enhance specific knowledge and skills in one of three areas: Applied Information Technology, Forensics, or Sociology. The program of study for the BIS in Criminal Justice consists of four components: General Education Requirements (44 hours); Core Requirements (27 hours); Track Requirements (24 hours for Applied Information Technology, 26 hours for Forensics, or 24 hours for Sociology); and 30 hours upon verification of the student's holding an Applied Associate Degree. (Only Applied Information Technology and Sociology tracks available online).

Entry Requirements

Applicants must have completed a associate degree from an accredited institution with GPA of 2.5

The Bachelor of Science in Applied Science and Technology (BSAST) degree in Electronic Systems Engineering Technology is designed for technologists employed in various phases of the electronics industry, including computer hardware, avionics, instrumentation and control, and communications. The BSAST degree in Electronics Engineering is a 124-credit program.

The Electronics Systems Engineering Technology Program’s goal is to educate engineering technology practitioners who are immediately relevant to or practicing in industry by frequently evaluating and improving our educational programs, engaging in scholarly and industrially based activities, and working within the broader community to be relevant to the professional and global community.

The AST vision and mission statements are reviewed and updated periodically, most recently in 2014. These reviews are performed by the mentors as well as the Industrial Advisory Council (IAC). Details are published in the School and IAC meeting minutes. The current vision and mission statements are published on Thomas Edison State College’s web site.

Entry Requirements

You are eligible to become an undergraduate student at Thomas Edison State College if you are:

- An adult 21 years of age or older (unless you are participating in a special college program)

- A high school graduate or have successfully passed a General Educational Development (GED) test

- The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) is required of all applicants whose primary language is not English. A score of 550 on the written; 213 on the computer version; or 79 on the Internet version is required.

The Bachelor of Science in Electronics Engineering Technology provides knowledge and experience with electronics technology and applications in computer systems design, research and development, manufacturing and testing.

The Electronics Engineering Technology (EET) program produces highly trained engineering technology professionals who work as team members with engineers and scientists. Our graduates apply scientific and engineering knowledge with technical skills to make professional judgments.

The Bachelor of Applied Science degree is designed to combine:

1. Specialized vocational and technical course credits earned in an Associate of Applied Science degree, and

2. Credits earned in a planned program of studies that demonstrate a specific area of vocational or technical emphasis

This program simplifies transferring credits from technical or vocational institutions, community colleges, and Community College of the Air Force or appropriate military technical coursework.

The applied science program strives to provide students with a relevant education taught by experienced professional faculty members in modern laboratories and small classes.

Entry Requirements

- Previous college credit must be transferred into the program, and minimum credits required can vary depending on previous coursework completed.

- 2.0 cumulative GPA (2.5 cumulative GPA preferred) from all coursework previously completed

- Satisfy admission requirement in mathematics

- High school graduation or equivalent
