  4. We offer: • Total number of modules – 52 • Common modules (compulsory for all students) – 19 • Choice – 33

  5. Key features of program: • Range of module choices to suit subject interests • Combinations of modules which qualify for one of the named specialist awards • Placements in companies with prospective future employment • Develop key skills and employability throughout the degree

  6. Defining principles of program: • Generic (general academic) competences, • Subject specific competences, • Subject specific learning outcomes.

  7. Defining principles of program: The programme includes many elements that are subject specific (levels 3-4 modules, professional practice). Other elements relate to the context of the degree programme and give a broad appreciation of the relevant underpinning in: - physical, - chemical, - biological or - nutritional principles, - economic and business analysis, - human behaviour, - social and environmentalcontext and the linkages between these.

  8. Chemistry for life sciences Physics for life sciences Mathematics Introduction to Biology IT/Computer skills Cell Biology Plant Physiology Animal Physiology Biostatistics English Completed Year 1 (Level 1) • Generic competences (Tuning Project). • Prerequisites for subject specific modules. • Another advantage: facilitate mobility of students within the Faculty of Exact and Natural Sciences

  9. Biochemistry Human Anat. and Physiology Microbiology and Virology Nutrition and Physiology Genetics Molecular Biology English Minor Year 2 (Level 2) • Generic competences (Tuning Project). • Prerequisites for subject specific modules.
