Master's Degree in Biomedicine

Competencies

Competencies are the set of knowledge, skills and attitudes to be acquired by students throughout the degree, aimed at preparing them for the exercise of professional activities.

Basic Competencies

CB6 – Possess and understand knowledge that provides a basis or opportunity for originality in the development and/or application of ideas, often in a research context

CB7 – That students know how to apply the knowledge acquired and their problem-solving skills in new or unfamiliar environments within broader (or multidisciplinary) contexts related to their area of study

CB8 – That students are able to integrate knowledge and face the complexity of formulating judgments based on information that, although incomplete or limited, includes reflections on the social and ethical responsibilities linked to the application of their knowledge and judgments

CB9 – Students should be able to communicate their conclusions and the knowledge and ultimate reasons that support them to specialized and non-specialized audiences in a clear and unambiguous manner.

CB10 – Students will have the learning skills to enable them to continue studying in a manner that will be largely self-directed or autonomous.

General Competencies

CG1 – Acquire advanced, specialized and multidisciplinary training oriented towards scientific and technical research tasks

CG2 – Acquire and demonstrate advanced knowledge applicable to scientific and technical research

CG3 – Know the theoretical and practical aspects of the methodology of work in scientific-technical research

CG4 – Know how to apply and integrate the acquired knowledge to solve scientific and technical problems

CG5 – Train to, individually or in groups, innovate methodologically and/or conceptually in scientific-technical knowledge

CG6 – Develop sufficient autonomy to participate in scientific-technical research projects
