The aim of this double degree is to train graduates in the wide number of professional areas where both fields mutually need each other; beyond the connection between Chemistry and Biology that is implied in Biochemistry.

Chemistry is a large field that includes the sub-microscopic world of atoms and molecules to the area of materials that we use on a daily basis. It constitutes an essential part of the training of countless scientists and engineers.

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

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:

Programa alumnos titores

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.
A.3. Advanced Technician in Vocational Training, Advanced Technician in Plastic Arts and Design orAdvanced Technician in Sports Education, from the Spanish Education System.
A.4.Studies carried out in European Union Member States or in other countries with international reciprocal agreements which meet the academic requirements in those States to access their university study programmes.
A.5. Official Spanish university degrees of Diplomado, Arquitecto Técnico, Ingeniero Técnico, Licenciado, Arquitecto, Ingeniero, Graduado or Máster Universitario.
A.6. Partial (foreign or Spanish) university studies.
Access to Bachelor’s Degree programmes is also possible for:
B.1. People over twenty-five after successfully passing a specific access test.
B.2. People over forty with work or professional experience related to a university field of knowledge.
B.3. People over forty-five after successfully passing a specific access test.
Likewise, access to Bachelor’s Degree programmes is granted to:
C.1. People meeting the requirements to enter university according to the Spanish Education System regulations prior to Ley Orgánica 8/2013, of December 9.

The Faculty of Chemistry has 12 different sized classrooms, 2 seminar classrooms and 2 computer labs equipped with teaching material. For hands-on training it has a number of laboratories.

There are also areas equipped for student use:

  • 2 free-access computer rooms.
  • 2 study rooms.

The Faculty of Biology has 10 different sized general use classrooms. For hands-on training purposes it has 4 laboratories equipped with infrastructures and capacity for 24 people. It has 8 laboratories with specific equipment for hands-on training in various subjects and capacity for 20 students each. It also has a laboratory with equipment and infrastructures for teaching purposes, with capacity for 24 students. There are also three computer classrooms.

There are areas available for student use:

  • Two computer rooms with free access for students.
  • A room in the library to develop team projects, equipped with computers and Internet access.

Both learning centres have a library with degree-specific collections and reading places.

It is also worth highlighting that there is Wi-Fi access from all points of the Faculties buildings.

Esta doble titulación tiene por objetivo formar graduados que cubran las múltiples áreas donde los profesionales de ambas ramas se necesitan mutuamente, más allá de la conexión entre Química y Biología que implica a la Bioquímica.

La Química es una ciencia amplia que abarca desde el mundo submicroscópico de los átomos y las moléculas hasta el ámbito de los materiales que utilizamos de manera cotidiana, constituyendo una parte esencial de la formación de muchos científicos e ingenieros.

Que los estudiantes hayan demostrado poseer y comprender conocimientos en un área de estudio que parte de la base de la educación secundaria general, y se suele encontrar a un nivel que, si bien se apoya en libros de texto avanzados, incluye también algunos aspectos que implican conocimientos procedentes de la vanguardia de su campo de estudio;

Que los estudiantes sepan aplicar sus conocimientos a su trabajo o vocación de una forma profesional y posean las competencias que suelen demostrarse por medio de la elaboración y defensa de argumentos y la resolución de problemas dentro de su área de estudio;

Que los estudiantes tengan la capacidad de reunir e interpretar datos relevantes (normalmente dentro de su área de estudio) para emitir juicios que incluyan una reflexión sobre temas relevantes de índole social, científica o ética;

Que los estudiantes puedan transmitir información, ideas, problemas y soluciones a un público tanto especializado como no especializado;

Que los estudiantes hayan desarrollado aquellas habilidades de aprendizaje necesarias para emprender estudios posteriores con un alto grado de autonomía.

Mobility

La movilidad de los/as estudiantes está regulada a través del “Reglamento de intercambios interuniversitarios”. A través de la Oficina de Relaciones Exteriores se gestionan programas de intercambio tanto nacionales (SICUE), como europeos (ERASMUS) y extracomunitarios (intercambios con países de América Latina o países de habla inglesa):
