 Training and Learning Results


Choose A Code Training and Learning Results
  A1 Students should prove understanding and knowledge in this study field that starts in the Secundary Education and with a level that, even though it is suppported in advanced books, also includes some aspects that involve knowledge from the vanguard of the study field.
  A2 Students should know how to apply their knowledge to their work or vocation in a professional way. They also should have the competences that are usually proved through the elaboration and defence of arguments and the resolution of problems within their study field.
  A3 Students should prove ability for information-gathering and interpret important data (usually within their study field) to judge relevant social, scientific or ethical topics.
  A4 Students should able to communicate information, ideas, issues and solutions to all audiences (specialist and unskilled audience).
  A5 Students should develop the necessary learning skills to undertake further studies with a high degree of autonomy.
Choose B Code Knowledge
  B1 Developing autonomous learning by identifying their own training need and organizing and planning tasks and time.
  B2 Manage scientific-technical information using diverse and reliable sources. Analyze data and documents and interpret them critically and rigorously, including considerations on their social relevance and in the professional field of Biology.
  B3 Apply the knowledge acquired in the degree and use the scientific-technical instrumentation and CIT in contexts of Biology and/or related to the professional practice.
  B4 Draft and write reports, documents and projects related to Biology. Proceed to their presentation and debate in the teaching and specialized areas, highlighting the competences of the degree.
  B5 Develop capacities for creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship, in academic and social relevant fields as well as in interaction with the productive sector.
  B6 Develop analysis and synthesis, critical reasoning and argumentation skills, applying them in Biology and other scientific-technical disciplines.
  B7 To aim for quality objectives in the development of the activity done and incorporate ethical principles, which should prevail in the professional practice of Biology.
Choose C Code Skill
  C1 Solve problems by applying the scientific method, the concepts and terminology specific to biology, mathematical models and statistical and computer tools.
  C2 Identify levels of organisation of living beings through the study of current specimens and fossils. Carry out phylogenetic analyses and study the mechanisms of heredity, evolution and biodiversity.
  C3 Perform and interpret molecular, physicochemical and biological analyses, including samples of human origin. Conduct assays and functional tests under normal and abnormal conditions.
  C4 Isolate, identify and growth microorganisms, cells, tissues and organs, making easier their study and the assessment of their metabolic activity.
  C5 Manipulate and analyse genetic material and determine its alterations and pathological implications. Knowing the applications of genetic engineering.
  C6 Understanding and integrate the functioning of living beings (cellular, tissue, organ and individual level), explaining their homeostatic and adaptive responses.
  C7 Sampling, characterising, cataloguing and managing natural and biological resources (populations, communities and ecosystems).
  C8 Describe, assess and plan the physical environment, use bio-indicators and identify environmental problems. Provide solutions for the control, monitoring and restoration of ecosystems.
  C9 Identify resources of biological origin and assess their efficient and sustainable use in order to obtain products of interest. Propose and implement improvements in production systems.
  C10 Identify biological and biotechnological processes and their potential applications, in particular in health, agri-food and environmental fields.
  C11 Perform and interpret bioassays, identify chemical and biological agents, including pathogens, as well as their toxic products. Develop and apply biological control techniques.
  C12 Writing reports and technical dossiers, as well as directing and executing projects on topics related to biology and its applications.
  C13 Provide training, participate in R+D+i projects, communicate results and disseminate knowledge. Contribute to the social projection of biology and to raising awareness of the environment.
  C14 Advise, assess and supervise scientific-technical, ethical, legal and socio-economic aspects related to biology and its applications.
  C15 The ability to perform and interpret clinical and health studies and analyses aimed at the diagnosis and development of therapies for human pathologies, as well as their control from an epidemiological and public health perspective.
  C16 The ability to identify the genetic and molecular bases of disease, advise on genetic counselling and genomic studies. Understand the control of cellular activity and integrated physiological responses, analysing their repercussions on health.
  C17 Understanding the social projection of biology applied to health at its different levels (analytical, pathological and public health) and its repercussions on professional practice.
  C18 The ability to develop and apply analytical and control methodologies for agri-food products, their handling and conservation. Identify safety and quality in the food chain and assess risks to health and the environment.
  C19 The ability to manage animal, plant and microbial production processes, implement biological tools that improve production efficiency and identify new areas of application and professional opportunities.
  C20 Understanding the social projection of biology applied to production at its different levels of application (analytical, production and management) and its repercussions on professional practice.
  C21 The ability to apply environmental analysis and diagnosis techniques and develop environmental impact studies. Propose measures for the prevention, protection and mitigation of negative effects on the environment and draw up reports.
  C22 The ability to organise and manage natural spaces and carry out biodiversity studies. Establish criteria for the conservation and restoration of ecosystems and plan the sustainable use of their resources.
  C23 Understanding the social projection of environmental problems at different levels of application (analysis, evaluation, management) and their repercussions on professional practice.
