• Microbiology: 16 questions

• Radiation Protection: 8 questions

• Preventive Nursing: 16 questions

Minimum Passing Grade
To pass the exam, students must achieve a minimum score of 18 out of 30. A grade below 18 is considered insufficient and does not allow the exam to be passed.

Learning Objectives Assessed

Exam Format and Weight
No additional written or oral tests are planned: the final grade is determined solely by the result of the single written exam, provided the score is ≥ 18/30.
There is no separate make-up or modular exam procedure available.
