      Integrated Assessment: There will be an overall assessment for the entire Programme component (UE) instead of individual assessments for each Teaching Activity (AA)

      Objectives of general skills

      • Acquire, understand and use knowledge in the fields of biology and other fields
        • Understand and use mathematical tools and basic statistics to describe and understand biological concepts
        • Demonstrate an understanding of the general principles of life to understand questions and solve situations related to biology
        • Synthesise and summarise, in a critical way, information from scientific literature in different forms (textual, numerical, verbal and graphic)

      UE's Learning outcomes

      At the end of this course students will be able to understand (theoritically and experimentally) organism-environment relationships through the fundamental principles of metabolism and energy conservation.
