Requirements – 2026\/27<\/a><\/p>

Lectures on Food Hygiene – 2026\/27 Semester 9<\/a><\/p>

Practicals on Food Hygiene – 2026\/27 Semester 9<\/a><\/p>

 <\/p>

2. Topics<\/strong><\/p>

Lectures
<\/u>In the framework of lectures the theoretical basis of the complex knowledge of hygiene conditions and legal requirements of production, processing and trade of wholesome foodstuffs are presented to develop the thinking and skill of Veterinary Public Health.<\/p>

In Semester 9, the following topics will be discussed: general fundamentals of food hygiene include the basic terms, foodborne hazards and the potential adverse health, main aspects of food microbiology and chemical-toxicological food safety, risk assessment and risk management of microbiological and chemical risks, risk communication, basic knowledge on food spoilage and preservation, background of food-chain safety legal regulation, the general rules of food production, processing and marketing, food adulteration.<\/p>

Practicals
<\/u>The purpose of food hygiene practicals is to demonstrate the practical aspects of the theoretical knowledge discussed in the lectures as well as to carry out the manual exercise of certain technological processes, and to develop the practical skills necessary to develop a complex way of thinking about the safety of the food chain.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>

3. How to be prepared for and how execute the practicals<\/strong><\/p>

The base of group division is the list given by the secretariat of International Study Program. The total number of one group cannot exceed 18-20 students but cannot be less than 10 students.
The student should be arrived in time, in clean white-coat and well-prepared to the site of practicals.
Due to the actual pandemic situation of infectious diseases, all students must keep the actual regulations\/rules (e. g. disinfection of hands when entering and leaving the practice room, wearing masks covering both nose and mouth during the whole practical time etc.).
In case of symptoms suggestive of fever, the student should not participate in the exercises.<\/p>

 <\/p>

4. The way of check of knowledge during the practicals<\/strong><\/p>

It may be performed in oral or written forms. It is primarily directed to the check of knowledge related to the given week-topic, but the topics of the previous weeks are also interrogated continuously.<\/p>

 <\/p>

5. How to supplement the practicals<\/strong><\/p>

The participation on the practical is obligatory. The number of the missed practicals can be max. four (4) practicals (including the 2 weeks obligatory clinical practice), above this the signature by the end of the semester will be denied.
It is important to note that all absences must be supported by official documentation<\/strong> (with the exception of the two aforementioned excused clinical practical, because it is certified directly towards the Department by the given clinical department).
Absences from practical sessions may only be made up during the educational period. Students may retake an absence by attending a session with another group during the same week, if there is a free seat, or during the final week of the educational period arranged time point in advance with their practical leader. Absences resulting from mandatory clinical shift\/practicals must also be retaken.<\/p>

The participation in practicals and the rules of retake is subjected to change based on the actual infectious pandemic situation, official bank holiday and Rectoral break.<\/em><\/p>

 <\/p>

6. Midterm tests, their evaluation, and their supplementation if necessary<\/strong><\/p>

During Semester 9<\/strong>, students will have two written (online) midterm tests. The materials of these tests are based on the previous topics of practicals and lectures up to the time of tests. The tests are evaluated with percentage values based of the total scores with a minimum passing score of 70%.
If any student is unable to complete the written assignment at the scheduled time due to reasons beyond their control it is required to report this to the department secretariat.
If any of the midterm tests is failed (<70%) or who failed to complete the written assessment for any reason and reported this fact to the Department, are required to retake an online test at a pre-arranged time. Altogether, there are two additional chances for retake. If a student fails to give advance notice that they are unable to take the test at the scheduled time, they may only retake the test personally at the department.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>

7. Signature by the end of the Semester, conditions of having a practical mark<\/strong><\/p>

Semester 9<\/em><\/strong>:<\/em> Participation on the lectures is obligatory (according to the University\u2019s SOP). Occasionally, the participation is checked by the lecturers. In the case of more than 3 missing lectures that are not certified, the signature of the semester will be refused.
Requirements for signature by the end of both semesters (Semester 9 and 10) are the participation in all the practicals and appropriate results of the two written midterm tests.<\/p>

Semester 9<\/em><\/strong>:<\/em> Practical mark: The practical course grade is calculated as an average of the midterm tests as follows: 70-77.99% = 2, passing; 78-85.99% = 3, fair; 86-93.99% = 4, good; 94-100% = 5, excellent.
If someone fails to meet the minimum requirement of 70% in case of any of the midterm tests, the practical course grade at the end of Semester 9 will be 1, i.e., failed.
If the mark is wished to be improved, it may be done in the exam period.
The conditions of having the credit points according to the curriculum are the signature by the end of the Semester and at least a practical course grade 2.<\/p>

The participation in practicals and the rules of retake are subjected to change based on the actual infectious pandemic situation.<\/em><\/p>
