The Degree in Biochemistry aims to understand biological processes at different levels of complexity (molecules, cells, tissues, organs and organisms), being a fundamentally interdisciplinary course. This study cycle promotes the training of professionals with a solid base of scientific-technological knowledge and skills in several areas, including Biochemistry, Biophysics, Cellular and Molecular Biology, Physiology and Microbiology, as well as Immunology, Food Chemistry and Ecology, among others. It offers: a) equivalence to cycles of the same degree, taught by European educational institutions; b) the possibility of continuing, with reasonable autonomy, for advanced training in 2nd cycle courses in Biochemistry, or in similar areas, in European institutions; c) immediate access to the labor market.
The Biochemistry Graduate is able to develop professional activity in research laboratories, in R&D departments in companies linked to the industry (for example, chemical, pharmaceutical, food, biotechnology and cosmetics), in chemical and biological analysis laboratories, and in educational institutions or involved in the dissemination of science and technology.
