The main objective of this subject is for the student to acquire a general vision of the state of the art in the scientific fields of the degree.
To have a general vision of relevant and current scientific aspects through participation in conferences, lectures, research seminars organized by the centers where the master is taught.
Strengthen the knowledge acquired in the other modules by mediating attendance at different events [national and international schools in which CiQUS members participate (national school of materials, Moreno Mañas school, etc.)].
Proficiency in the techniques of writing, presentation and exposition of scientific works.
Acquisition of skills related to employability and entrepreneurship.
Acquisition of other transversal competences, under the supervision of a tutor.
The contents of the activities offered could be different in each academic year.
The contents to which each student would access will be different depending on the specific offer and the recommendations of the tutor.
In any case, these contents will include: current state of research in biological chemistry / nanoscience / materials science (through prestigious guest lecturers), scientific communication and debate (research seminars); skills in employability and entrepreneurship, etc.
NO required
CB6 Possess and understand the knowledge that provides a basis or an opportunity for being creative and unique in the development and/or implementation of ideas, often in a research context.
CB7 Students should know how to use the knowledge acquired and their problem-solving capacity in new or little known environments within wider (or multidisciplinary) contexts related to their field of study.
CB8 Students should be able to integrate knowledge and deal with the complexity of making judgements from information which – being incomplete or limited – includes reflections on the social and ethical responsibilities linked to the use of their knowledge or judgements
CB9 Students should know how to communicate their findings and the knowledge and underlying reasons underpinning them to specialised and non-specialised audiences in a clear and unambiguous way.
CB10 Students should have the learning skills that allow them to carry on studying in such a way that should be mainly self-directed or autonomous.
CG3 Be able to discuss and communicate ideas, in both oral and written form, to specialised and non-specialised audiences (congresses, conferences, etc.) in a clear and reasoned way.
CG4 Be able to understand the social and ethical responsibilities linked to the use of knowledge or judgements in research, development and innovation in the field of biological chemistry and molecular materials.
CG8 Be able to use scientific literature and develop the judgement needed for its interpretation and use.
CG10 Be able to develop the different research stages (from the conception of an idea and the literature search through to target setting, experiment design, analysis of the results and drawing conclusions).
CT3 Perform day-to-day research or professional activity in an independent and efficient manner.
CT5 Appreciate the value of good quality and continuous improvement by acting rigorously, responsibly and ethically.
CE1 Know the impact of chemistry, biological chemistry and molecular materials on the industry, environment, health, agrofood and renewable energies.
CE2 Be capable of comparing experimental data and theoretical assumptions in a critical manner.
CE4 Know and understand the chemical tools and analytical techniques used for biological chemistry and molecular materials.
CE15 Students should be familiarized with nanotechnology methods and usefulness for studying processes of medical and biological interest.
Organization of conference programs, seminars and workshops (coordinator of the Master / CiQUS staf).
Personal advice on possible activities to be carried out (scientific tutor and / or coordinator of the subject).
Supervision of the attendance and the use of the activities carried out, through the virtual and on-site tutorials (Virtual Campus) (scientific tutor and / or coordinator of the subject).
Preparation of a brief report highlighting the most relevant activities carried out (student).
The assesment process will not only serve to know if the student has acquired the programmed competences but also to overeview the teaching methodology.
Accredited assistance to conferences and organized workshops.
Assistance and active participation in research seminars.
Participation in national and international schools, courses and workshops on topics related to biological chemistry and molecular materials.
Written memory, personal debate and / or public presentation of the activities carried out and the competences acquired.
The acquisition of competences will be evaluated through the different systems: Oral presentations: 10% -20%; Training activities carried out: 25% -40%; Memory and / or presentation of activities: 20% -30%; Tutors report: 30-50%; Transversal competences evaluation: 0-20%.
Formation activities:
Attendance: Conferences given by experts: 10 h; CiQUS and Group research seminars, 10 h; Employability and entrepreneurship workshops, up to 10 h; Attendance to courses, workshops, national schools, up to 15 h; Other training activities recommended by the tutor, up to 10 h; Tutorials with coordinator and Scientific tutor.
Non-contact: Preparation of reports and directed works 25 h; Study and personal work of the student, 5 h; Bibliographic searches and use of databases, 5 h.
Activities should preferably be conducted in English.
Assessment system
In cases of fraudulent performance of exercises or tests, the rule applied will be the “Regulations for evaluating student academic performance and reviewing grades”.
