Study programme competencies
Code Study programme competences
A2 CE2 – To define, evaluate and select the architecture and the most suitable software for solving a problem in the field of bioinformatics
A3 CE3 – To analyze, design, develop, implement, verify and document efficient software solutions based on an adequate knowledge of the theories, models and techniques in the field of Bioinformatics
A4 CE4 - Ability to acquire, obtain, formalize and represent human knowledge in a computable form for the resolution of problems through a computer system in any field of application, particularly those related to aspects of computing, perception and action in bioinformatics applications
B1 CB6 - Own and understand knowledge that can provide a base or opportunity to be original in the development and/or application of ideas, often in a context of research
