The curricular structure of the Degree in Biomedical Sciences is based on compulsory curricular units that are organised in interdisciplinary domains:

  • Basic Medicine;
  • Biological Sciences;
  • Medical Biotechnology;
  • Mathematics;
  • Computer and Information Sciences;
  • Social Sciences and Humanities.

The programmatic content includes fundamental scientific content and specialty content within the biomedical sciences integrated through the study of the functioning of the human being. Thus, the basic contents covered are biology, biochemistry, biostatistics and various laboratory techniques, complemented with physiology, anatomy and pathology associated with the different systems.

Teaching of an essentially practical nature is introduced early and gradually throughout the Study Plan.

The Study Plan of the Degree in Biomedical Sciences is organised as shown in the following tables:
