      Objectives of general skills

      • Understand the fundamentals
        • Understand the key areas of chemistry: inorganic, organic, physical, biological and analytical chemistry, as well as basic knowledge required in mathematics, biology and physics
        • Have developed the learning skills needed to undertake further studies with a sufficient degree of autonomy
      • Provide clear and accurate information
        • Communicate information, ideas, problems and solutions to a qualified scientific partner
      • Collaborate and work in a team
        • Have developed practical skills in chemistry through practical sessions in the laboratory, including analytical, organic and physical chemistry, during which they have worked individually or in groups.
      • Have a rigorous scientific approach
        • Have integrated theoretical and/or practical skills during an introductory training session on scientific research

      UE's Learning outcomes

      After this teaching, the students will control the essential concepts of biochemistry, cellular biology, genetics and evolution in order to approach without difficulties the specialized courses of the following years. The basic techniques of molecular biology will be also taught.

      UE Content

      Introduction to biochemistry; DNA replication; synthesis of polypeptides; viruses; procaryotic cell, eukaryotic cell, mitosis, meiosis; Evolution; Mendel and genes; chromosomes and heredity; the concept of species.
