Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

  • Understand, describe, analyse and prioritise biological phenomena
    • Understand basic scientific knowledge and be able to use it
    • Problem-solve
    • Understand the expression of biological realities in absolute or relative terms, the orders of magnitude, proportions and probability
    • Abstract, understand and apply mathematical translations of the main laws and biological phenomena
    • Understand and use different graphical representations of numerical values and their relationships
    • Understand the chronology of a phenomenon and master the time scales and their representations
    • Manipulate concepts of concentration and prepare solutions
  • Control the molecular, morphological and functional approaches of normal and pathological conditions
    • Understand the learning of physiological and pharmacological reasoning
    • Integrate concepts from different approaches/disciplines in a complex biomedical problem
    • Explain how molecular, morphological and functional modifications constitute pathological states and vice versa
  • Manage their studies
    • Be open to research and demonstrate scientific curiosity

Learning Outcomes of UE

At the end of this course, the student will understand the mechanisms underlying the electrical activity of the neurons as well as those of the structures (called synapses) through which neural cells communicate with each other. He (she) will be able to understand how many pharmacological drugs act on the brain.
