Master's Degree in Physiology

Students should possess and understand foundational knowledge that enables original thinking and research in the field.
Students should apply acquired knowledge to solve problems in unfamiliar contexts within their field of study, including multidisciplinary scenarios.
Students should be able to integrate knowledge and address the complexity of making informed judgments based on incomplete or limited information, including reflections on the social and ethical responsibilities associated with the application of their knowledge and judgments.
Students should communicate conclusions and underlying knowledge clearly and unambiguously to both specialized and non-specialized audiences.
Students should demonstrate self-directed learning skills for continued academic growth.
To acquire basic skills to develop laboratory work in biomedical research.
To acquire a critical attitude that allows you to make reasoned judgments and defend them with rigor and tolerance.
