      Objectives of general skills

      • In the field of biological sciences and particularly in the field of the biology of organisms and ecology, possess highly specialised and integrated knowledge and a wide range of skills adding to those covered in the Bachelor's programme in biological sciences.
      • Conduct extensive research and development projects related to biological sciences, in the biology of organisms and ecology.
        • Apply, mobilise, articulate and promote the knowledge and skills acquired in order to help lead and complete a project.
        • Contributing to a project by mastering its complexity and taking into account the objectives, allocated resources and constraints that characterise it.
        • Show initiative and be able to work independently and in teams.
      • Manage and lead research, development and innovation projects.
        • Understand unprecedented problems in biological sciences, and more specifically in the biology of organisms, ecology and its applications.
        • Organise and lead a research, development or innovation project to completion.
        • Methodically research valid scientific information, critically analyse, propose and argue potentially innovative solutions to targeted problems.
      • Apply scientific methodology.
        • Critically reflect on the impact of their discipline in general, and on the contribution to projects.
        • Demonstrate thoroughness, independence, creativity, intellectual honesty, and ethical values.
