Organization of education and examinations
Registration for exam on Microbiology
Students can register for exam on Microbiology through the AIS system in accordance with the rules published in the valid Year Book and the Study Regulations of the Faculty of Medicine Comenius University in Bratislava
The exam
The exam begins with a test in the computer room. For the academic year 2024-2025, it is Moskovska M111 (if there is a change, it will be written in the AIS2 that the test is written in Odborárske nám.) at the time listed in AIS2. The test is written on a computer and contains 40 questions with 4 possible answers with a time limit of 30 minutes.
The written part consists of the test containing 40 questions with 4 possible answers. The questions are generated by a computer from the pool of questions published in web page and MS Teams. The answers are input to the computer and the time limit for the test is 30 minutes.
- Written test, 75% is must to continue on oral exam
- A successful written test is required for access to the oral part of the exam in all terms.
- Students will draw lots for the examinator, but at the same time, the Article 23 Part 23 of the Study Regulation No.12/2013 of the Faculty of Medicine Comenius University in Bratislava will be taken into consideration.
Three oral questions are drawn at the start of the oral part of exam (the list of oral questions are accessible on the Faculty web page - see Institute of Microbiology). It is inevitable to answer all three oral question at least at the basic level (i.e. grade „E“) in order to pass successfully the exam.
