      Objectives of general skills

      • Acquire, understand and use knowledge in the fields of biology and other fields
        • Understand the fundamentals of chemistry (including organic chemistry) and general physics both applied to biology
        • Demonstrate an understanding of the general principles of life to understand questions and solve situations related to biology
        • Integrate knowledge from other fields of knowledge with biology (earth science, physics, chemistry, mathematics), in a critical way, to foster an interdisciplinary approach
        • Synthesise and summarise, in a critical way, information from scientific literature in different forms (textual, numerical, verbal and graphic)
      • Apply a scientific approach and critical thinking
        • Work with efficiency / accuracy / precision
        • Present a hypothesis and hypothetical-deductive reasoning
        • Develop critical thinking, test and monitor conclusions understanding the domain of validity, and explore alternative hypotheses
        • Manage doubt and uncertainty
      • Communicate effectively and appropriately in French and English
        • Understand and summarise articles, websites and other scientific works in French and English
      • Develop autonomy, set training objectives and make choices to achieve them
        • Organise time and work, individually and in groups
        • Prioritise
        • Manage stress regardless of events (exams, presentations, etc.)
