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
  • Apply a scientific approach and critical thinking
    • Present a hypothesis and hypothetical-deductive reasoning
    • Manage doubt and uncertainty
  • Develop autonomy, set training objectives and make choices to achieve them
    • Manage stress regardless of events (exams, presentations, etc.)

Learning Outcomes of UE

At the end of this course, the student will be able to understand the physiology of cells in general and of excitable cells in particular. He will know the principles of homeostasie and body fluid regulation.
He will have notion about tissues organization and cellular signalling.
