Dado que no se exige ninguna formación previa específica, los alumnos/as pueden ser admitidos en la titulación de Grado de Biología si reúnen los requisitos de acceso. De todas formas, se recomienda que el alumno/a haya cursado las ramas científico-tecnológica o ciencias de la salud. Dentro de estos perfiles, además de la biología, resulta recomendable, pero no imprescindible, haber cursado las materias de matemáticas, física y química.
Cualidades deseables del futuro estudiante del grado de Biología:
- Capacidad de trabajo
- Capacidad de razonamiento
- Capacidad de obtener, interpretar y aplicar conocimientos
- Espíritu científico
1.- El alumnado de primer curso por primera vez a tiempo completo tienen que matricular 60 créditos. Un 15% del alumnado podrá cursar estudios a tiempo parcial (30 créditos).
2.- Continuación de estudios: libre con un máximo de 75 créditos
Conscientes de que el estudiante nuevo tiene dificultades para asimilar y moverse en el complejo entramado universitario, el Programa A Ponte, ha diseñado un plan de acogida en cada centro basado en los siguientes puntos:
- Una sesión informativa especial a cargo del equipo decanal, el primer día del curso en la que se explican los detalles del funcionamiento de la Facultad (aulas de informática, préstamo bibliotecario, salas de estudio…) y las orientaciones generales sobre el plan de estudios: normas de permanencia, exámenes, consejos sobre matrícula, convocatorias,… A esta sesión asistirá un representante del equipo rectoral que informará a los nuevos alumnos del funcionamiento de la Universidad en general y sobre todo de sus derechos y deberes. Esta sesión acaba con la asignación a cada grupo de diez alumnos, de un alumno-tutor que seguirá con ellos durante toda la tarde y les pondrá al corriente de la vida académico-universitaria.
- Sistema de tutorías personalizadas: En el segundo cuatrimestre de cada curso se preparará un grupo de alumnos de último año para ser alumnostutores de los alumnos nuevos en el curso siguiente. Este Curso de Tutores, impartido por personal cualificado, les pone al corriente en todo lo relacionado con la USC y con la forma de tratar a los nuevos estudiantes. Como se dijo arriba, su tutorización comienza el primer día del curso siguiente y sigue durante todo el curso académico.
- Personal administrativo con funciones de información a estudiantes: Responsable de la Unidad Administrativa de Apoyo al Centro y a los Departamentos, Secretaría del Decanato, Conserjes, Personal de Biblioteca.
La Facultad cuenta con la colaboración de varios profesores/as que actúan como coordinadores académicos, y cuya función es tutorizar y asistir en sus decisiones académicas a los estudiantes propios y de acogida.
La USC tiene un programa de alumnos tutores para las titulaciones de grao, de forma que alumnos de últimos cursos, despues de una formación que les facilita la Universidad, realizan tareas de orientación a los alumnos que inician los estudios.
Información programa alumnos tutores:
Cuando se produzca la suspensión de un Título oficial, la USC garantiza el adecuado desarrollo efectivo de las enseñanzas que hubieran iniciado sus estudiantes hasta su finalización. Para ello, el Consejo de Gobierno aprueba los criterios relacionados, entre otros, con:
• La admisión de matrículas de nuevo ingreso en la titulación.
• La supresión gradual de la impartición de la docencia.
• Si el título extinguido es sustituido por otro similar (modificando la naturaleza del título), fija las condiciones que facilitan a los/las estudiantes la continuidad de estudios en el nuevo título y las equivalencias entre las materias de uno y otro plan.
Access to Bachelor’s Degree programmes is granted to students with the following degrees/ diplomas or studies, or any other recognized as equivalent to these:
A.1. Spanish Bachiller, European Baccalaureate or International Baccalaureate.
A.2. Baccalaureate from European Union Member States’ education systems or other countries withinternational agreements.

Dado que no se exige ninguna formación previa específica, los alumnos/as pueden ser admitidos en la titulación de Grado de Biología si reúnen los requisitos de acceso. De todas formas, se recomienda que el alumno/a haya cursado las ramas científico-tecnológica o ciencias de la salud. Dentro de estos perfiles, además de la biología, resulta recomendable, pero no imprescindible, haber cursado las materias de matemáticas, física y química.
Cualidades deseables del futuro estudiante del grado de Biología:
- Capacidad de trabajo
- Capacidad de razonamiento
- Capacidad de obtener, interpretar y aplicar conocimientos
- Espíritu científico
1.- El alumnado de primer curso por primera vez a tiempo completo tienen que matricular 60 créditos. Un 15% del alumnado podrá cursar estudios a tiempo parcial (30 créditos).
2.- Continuación de estudios: libre con un máximo de 75 créditos
Conscientes de que el estudiante nuevo tiene dificultades para asimilar y moverse en el complejo entramado universitario, el Programa A Ponte, ha diseñado un plan de acogida en cada centro basado en los siguientes puntos:
- Una sesión informativa especial a cargo del equipo decanal, el primer día del curso en la que se explican los detalles del funcionamiento de la Facultad (aulas de informática, préstamo bibliotecario, salas de estudio…) y las orientaciones generales sobre el plan de estudios: normas de permanencia, exámenes, consejos sobre matrícula, convocatorias,… A esta sesión asistirá un representante del equipo rectoral que informará a los nuevos alumnos del funcionamiento de la Universidad en general y sobre todo de sus derechos y deberes. Esta sesión acaba con la asignación a cada grupo de diez alumnos, de un alumno-tutor que seguirá con ellos durante toda la tarde y les pondrá al corriente de la vida académico-universitaria.
- Sistema de tutorías personalizadas: En el segundo cuatrimestre de cada curso se preparará un grupo de alumnos de último año para ser alumnostutores de los alumnos nuevos en el curso siguiente. Este Curso de Tutores, impartido por personal cualificado, les pone al corriente en todo lo relacionado con la USC y con la forma de tratar a los nuevos estudiantes. Como se dijo arriba, su tutorización comienza el primer día del curso siguiente y sigue durante todo el curso académico.
- Personal administrativo con funciones de información a estudiantes: Responsable de la Unidad Administrativa de Apoyo al Centro y a los Departamentos, Secretaría del Decanato, Conserjes, Personal de Biblioteca.
La Facultad cuenta con la colaboración de varios profesores/as que actúan como coordinadores académicos, y cuya función es tutorizar y asistir en sus decisiones académicas a los estudiantes propios y de acogida.
La USC tiene un programa de alumnos tutores para las titulaciones de grao, de forma que alumnos de últimos cursos, despues de una formación que les facilita la Universidad, realizan tareas de orientación a los alumnos que inician los estudios.
Información programa alumnos tutores:
Cuando se produzca la suspensión de un Título oficial, la USC garantiza el adecuado desarrollo efectivo de las enseñanzas que hubieran iniciado sus estudiantes hasta su finalización. Para ello, el Consejo de Gobierno aprueba los criterios relacionados, entre otros, con:
• La admisión de matrículas de nuevo ingreso en la titulación.
• La supresión gradual de la impartición de la docencia.
• Si el título extinguido es sustituido por otro similar (modificando la naturaleza del título), fija las condiciones que facilitan a los/las estudiantes la continuidad de estudios en el nuevo título y las equivalencias entre las materias de uno y otro plan.
