    • Be a responsible researcher: - Know how to base their reasoning on data obtained from scientific literature. - Know how to integrate an ethical dimension in their reasoning. - Be loyal (to the facts, to the team, and to intellectual property). - Do not tamper with results. - Do not exploit the work of others. - Demonstrate experimental rigor.
  • Professional integration skills
    • Be aware of ethical issues and apply ethical codes specific to life sciences in their behaviour
    • Demonstrate their ability to research, analyse and synthesise: - Research, analyse, use different sources of information and materials related to biomedical sciences, format them to draw up a summarised document, produced and broadcast them on digital media. - Carry out a study, identify and raise an issue in a predefined context, build and develop an argument, interpret the data and results, develop an overview, and propose extensions. - Question themselves, think critically, debate, and defend their ideas.
    • Master written and oral scientific expression. Be independent in writing and show that they can communicate their thoughts, reason and organise their knowledge
    • Master scientific English: - Present scientific results, orally and in writing. - Answer scientific questions in English
