Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

• In the field of biological sciences and particularly in the field of the biochemistry, molecular and cell biology, possess highly specialised and integrated knowledge and a wide range of skills adding to those covered in the Bachelor's programme in biological sciences.
• Conduct extensive research and development projects related to biological sciences, in biochemistry and in molecular and cell biology.
• Apply, mobilise, articulate and promote the knowledge and skills acquired in order to help lead and complete a project.
• Contributing to a project by mastering its complexity and taking into account the objectives, allocated resources and constraints that characterise it.
• Show initiative and be able to work independently and in teams.
• Manage and lead research, development and innovation projects.
• Understand unprecedented problems in biological sciences, and more specifically in biochemistry and molecular and cell biology and its applications.
• Organise and lead a research, development or innovation project to completion.
• Methodically research valid scientific information, critically analyse, propose and argue potentially innovative solutions to targeted problems.
• Master communication techniques.
• Communicate, both orally and in writing, their findings, original proposals, knowledge and underlying principles, in a clear, structured and justified manner.
• Adapt their communication to a variety of audiences.
• Develop and integrate a high degree of autonomy.
• Aquire new knowledge independently.
• Pursue further training and develop new skills independently.
• Apply scientific methodology.
• Critically reflect on the impact of their discipline in general, and on the contribution to projects.

Learning Outcomes of UE

The aim of the course is to give to the students basic notions about phylogenetic inference methods. They will be able to understand and read articles about molecular phylogeny and to suggest themselves phylogenies through inference methods

UE Content: description and pedagogical relevance

1. General introduction ; 2. Methods of phylogenetic inference ; 3. Exemples of new classifications supported by molecular methods ; 4.  General principles of coevolution
