The study program will focus on biomedical laboratory technology within different areas, such as: 

• Body chemistry and disease processes in living organisms
• Blood and blood disorders
• Microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses and fungi
• Immune system and the body's defense mechanisms against diseases
• Genetics and genetic engineering methods
• Cell biology
• Pathology

Research-based teaching
Employees at the Biomedical laboratory scientist program at HiST runs advanced medical research. The program has two professors and five doctoral candidates and is a partner in the “Centre for excellent research”, in collaboration with NTNU and St. Olav's Hospital. This will also be an advantage for the students, as it gives access to interesting and good bachelor theses, and updated and research-based teaching.

Teaching methods
The most common teaching methods is lectures and group work, large and small practical laboratory assignments and projects. Practical training is of great importance throughout the study. The program terminates with a bachelor thesis in the spring of year 3.
