Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

• 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
• 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
• 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)
• Solve issues relevant to biology
• Have developed practical skills in the various fields of biology through practical sessions in the laboratory and in the field, during which they have worked individually or in groups
• Make accurate observations in the context of activities in the field and in the laboratory
• Grasp and use the usual methods the conservation of live materials
• Analyse and interpret, in an appropriate way, biological data collected in natura, through dissection or based on an experimental protocol in the laboratory
• Apply a scientific approach and critical thinking
• Understand and apply the basic principles of reasoning (obtaining data, analysis, synthesis, comparison, rule of three, syllogism, analogy, etc.)
• 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
• Communicate in French, orally and in writing, the results of experiments and observations by constructing and using graphs and tables
