Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

  • Acquire, understand and use knowledge in the fields of biology and other fields
    • Understand the fundamentals of chemistry (including organic chemistry) and general physics both applied to biology
    • Integrate knowledge from other fields of knowledge with biology (earth science, physics, chemistry, mathematics), in a critical way, to foster an interdisciplinary approach
  • Apply a scientific approach and critical thinking
    • Understand and apply the basic principles of reasoning (obtaining data, analysis, synthesis, comparison, rule of three, syllogism, analogy, etc.)
    • Work with efficiency / accuracy / precision
  • Communicate effectively and appropriately in French and English
    • Communicate in French, orally and in writing, the results of experiments and observations by constructing and using graphs and tables
  • Develop autonomy, set training objectives and make choices to achieve them
    • Organise time and work, individually and in groups
    • Prioritise
    • Manage stress regardless of events (exams, presentations, etc.)

Learning Outcomes of UE

The aim of the course is to acquire the principles of chemistry and the basics of i) atomic structure, ii) molecular structure and iii) the states of matter. The course will closely link the microscopic and macroscopic aspects of chemistry.
