Ideal student profile
Graduates in Biosciences or Health Sciences, with a love for biology in general and microbiology in particular. Students should be optimistic about their learning abilities and their future as microbiologists. They should have a clear idea about what they want to achieve professionally, and be proactive, disciplined and enterprising in pursuit of their goals.Basic skills
- Use acquired knowledge as a basis for originality in the application of ideas, often in a research context.
- Solve problems in new or little-known situations within broader (or multidisciplinary) contexts related to the field of study.
- Integrate knowledge and use it to make judgements in complex situations, with incomplete information, while keeping in mind social and ethical responsibilities.
- Communicate and justify conclusions clearly and unambiguously to both specialised and non-specialised audiences.
- Continue the learning process, to a large extent autonomously
Specific skills
- Apply the appropriate methodologies for sample collection, characterisation and analysis of microbial populations and communities.
- Design tools and strategies based on microorganisms to optimise industrial processes, assess the environmental impact of human activity and recover polluted environments.
- Display knowledge of the most up-to-date methodology used in environmental, molecular, industrial and clinical microbiology.
- Interpret results from microbiological analyses in order to take appropriate decisions and propose solutions to biological problems in different areas.
- Carry out tasks self-sufficiently in the field of microbiology and within a work environment.
- Conceive, design and propose research projects and write review articles in the field of microbiology.
Cross-curricular skills
