Objectives

Based on the knowledge previously acquired throughout their degree in Pharmaceutical Sciences, this UC aims to develop adequate skills to develop a research / literature review in an area of specific interest, namely:

i) scientific literature research;
ii) statistical analysis of results;
iii) capacities for analysis and synthesis;
iv) critical thinking skills and creativity;
v) prepare a public presentation;
vi) skills for public presentation;
vii) interpersonal skills with the advisor.

Learning outcomes and competences

The recent curricular advances in the Master in Pharmaceutical Sciences, in line with the curricula of the various master's courses, have led to the inclusion of nonexistent aspects in the old degree. In particular, the advances in bibliographic research tools in the field of digital technologies and the presentation and public discussion of results were not evident in the old degree in Pharmaceutical Sciences. Thus, the monograph UC represents an integrated way to develop these skills.

Teaching methods and learning activities

The development of the monograph is accompanied by an individual advisor, assigned based on the scientific area that the student shows interest to develop.

For the final evaluation, students must submit a written monograph, prepared in accordance with the directions that rely on UC SIGARRA page.

The mentor has a key part in the formation of the student, introducing him on the subject of scientific research, design work and accompanying him along with its elaboration. It also fostered the professional ethics to recognize plagiarism and know how to avoid it.

The final public presentation before the jury is the time where your presentation skills are tested in public, also subject to evaluation by the jury. The design of the presentation and the correct management of time are also skills to be acquired. The examiner is an expert in the scientific field of the monograph, granting and adequate evaluation of the student's in scientific terms.
