The course in brief Presentation The course of study in Biological Sciences accompanies the student towards a unified view of the life sciences and provides solid basic knowledge, preparatory to specialised studies. A characteristic objective is the acquisition of an adequate familiarity with the scientific method. Learning by doing Enhancement of laboratory activities such as chemical, biochemical and biomolecular analyses; statistical data processing; cell culture techniques; preparation and observation of histological, zoological and botanical preparations. Professional outlets The jr biologist applies the methodologies learnt in the field of basic and applied scientific research in public and private facilities operating in the biomedical, biotechnological and environmental fields. Did you know that You will participate in seminars held by our lecturers and national and international experts. From theory to practice: many classroom lectures are complemented by exercises and workshops. You will not be alone! You will have experienced tutors and receptionists at your disposal, who will help you in this new and exciting reality. Contents Biology prepares for many professions The course aims to provide students with the cognitive, technical and behavioural skills necessary for understanding biological phenomena and is designed to provide adequate preparation for the following professional figures: biologists, biochemists, botanists, zoologists, ecologists, microbiologists. A complex world Through an initial common pathway, enriched from the second year onwards with electives that will allow specific in-depth studies in the general, environmental and molecular biological fields, students study biology in its various levels of complexity, from the very small to the very large. The subjects that provide the knowledge useful for future professions and the ability to apply it take into account aspects relating to: molecular and cellular organisation mechanisms of structural identity organisms, species and their evolution relationships between environment and living organisms strategies of survival at the level of cell, organism, species and community.
