Objectives of general skills

• Understand the fundamentals
• Provide basic knowledge in more specialised fields of chemistry (e.g. in theoretical chemistry, chemistry of materials, macromolecular chemistry)
• 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
• Gather and interpret relevant scientific data and critically analyse it considering scientific, ethical and environmental aspects
• Have integrated theoretical and/or practical skills during an introductory training session on scientific research

UE's Learning outcomes

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