Study programme competencies
Code Study programme competences
A1 CE1 - Ability to know the scope of Bioinformatics and its most important aspects
A6 CE6 - Ability to identify software tools and most relevant bioinformatics data sources, and acquire skill in their use
A7 CE7 - Ability to identify the applicability of the use of bioinformatics tools to clinical areas.
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
B2 CB7 - Students should know how to apply the acquired knowledge and ability to problem solving in new environments or little known within broad (or multidisciplinary) contexts related to their field of study
B3 CB8 - Students to be able to integrate knowledge and deal with the complexity of making judgements from information that could be incomplete or limited, including reflections on the social and ethical responsibilities linked to the application of their skills and judgments
B4 CB9 - Students should know how to communicate their findings, knowledge and latest reasons underpinning them to specialized and non-specialized audiences in a clear and unambiguous way
B5 CB10 - Students should possess learning skills that allow them to continue studying in a way that will largely be self-directed or autonomous.
B6 CG1 -Search for and select the useful information needed to solve complex problems, driving fluently bibliographical sources for the field
B7 CG2 - Maintain and extend well-founded theoretical approaches to enable the introduction and exploitation of new and advanced technologies
C1 CT1 - Express oneself correctly, both orally writing, in the official languages of the autonomous community
C2 CT2 - Dominate the expression and understanding of oral and written form of a foreign language
C4 CT4 - Be able to analyze the real situation, formulate and implement solutions based on knowledge and aimed at the common good and the exercise of open, educated, critical, committed, democratic and solidary citizenship.
C5 CT5 - Understand the importance of entrepreneurial culture and know the means available to enterprising people
