Study plan

The curriculum has been designed to help students develop a multidisciplinary profile by acquiring knowledge of the various fields within their chosen profession, from medicine and clinical and translational research to molecular biology and basic research, as well as the new omics sciences and massive data management.

A curriculum designed to meet the needs of the job market.

During the first years of your bachelor’s degree, you’ll acquire more general knowledge, later deciding which area of Biomedicine you would like to specialise in with the guidance of your professors. A great deal of importance is placed on practical training, both in the laboratories at the university itself, and through external internships at research centres or companies within the sector. Our academic model focuses on the acquisition of integrated knowledge from the first year, promoting research and the development of critical thinking among our students.

Important information: This program is in modification process and could undergo changes.

2023/2024

In-company internships are a key part of your training. Gaining experience based on what you have learnt in your degree is the best way to enter the job market. There are two types of internships: curricular (included in the curriculum) and extracurricular (those that you can choose to do on a voluntary basis).

In order to do an in-company one, you’ll need to have obtained 50% of the credits and to enrol in the subject before starting your internship. These internships are monitored by the company and the internship professor, and also involve interim and final assessment reports.

During the final year, you’ll do an internship at a key institution, research centre or company in the sector at national and international level, which will allow you to put into practice all the knowledge you have acquired. These include:

  • The Foundation for Biomedical Research at the Gregorio Marañón Hospital, the Foundation for Biomedical Research at the Getafe University Hospital and the Toledo Paraplegic Hospital.
  • National Centre for Biotechnology (CNB)
  • Spanish National Research Council (CSIC)
  • Carlos III Institute of Health (ISCIII)
  • And in biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies such as Genómica, ERCROS, Lilly, BMS, Quintiles, IVI, Cofares, Febiotec, Bioenergía y Desarrollo Tecnológico, Biotools, Carestream Health Spain, Federación Española de Centros Tecnológicos, IMERETI, Genómica S.A.U., Pharmamar, 3P Biopharmaceuticals, Gamesa Innovation & Technology, General Electric International INC, Jansen Cilag SA, Kantar Health SA, KOM Pharmatec Labs, LABCO Pathology SLU, Laboratorios Alcalá Farma, Laboratorios Medicamentos Internacionales SA, Lilly, Lonza Biologicals Porriño, Medtronic Iberica, Merk Sharp Dohme España, Mönlycke Health Care, Praxis Biopahrma Research Institute, Proteus Research, Roche Pharma, Sanitas SA de Hospitales, Siemens, Star Petroleum SA, Unidad de Reproducción SA, Veolia Water System Iberica and Wyeth Pharma.
  • Madrid Science Park, Inkemia

If you would like to improve your work experience before finishing your university studies, you can do an extracurricular internship. You can do one in any academic year, but we would remind you that internships are a training complement to your studies. Therefore, the more knowledge you’ve already acquired over the course of your programme, the more you’ll benefit from the internship experience.

Degree Competencies

Basic Competencies
  • CB1. Students have demonstrated knowledge and understanding in an area of study that builds on the foundation of general secondary education, usually at a level that while relying on advanced textbooks, also includes some aspects that involve knowledge acquired from the cutting edge of their field of study.
  • CB2. Students know how to apply their knowledge to their work or vocation in a professional manner, and have the competencies that are usually demonstrated by preparing and defending arguments, and solving problems within their area of study.
  • CB3. Students can gather and interpret relevant data (normally within their area of study) to make judgements that include reflections on relevant social, scientific and ethical issues.
  • CB4. Students are able to convey information, ideas, problems and solutions to both specialist and non-specialist audiences.
  • CB5. Students have developed the necessary learning skills to undertake subsequent studies with a high degree of independence.
Cross-disciplinary competences
  • CT1. Creativity. Ability to come up with new ideas, reach conclusions and solve problems in an original way. Knowledge, an enquiring mind, imagination and assessment abilities are required. The most fundamental level of creativity is discovery, and the highest is innovation.
  • CT2. Strategic communication. Ability to effectively convey messages (ideas, knowledge, feelings, arguments), both orally and in writing, in such a way that the interests of the different agents involved are strategically aligned.
  • CT3. Digital competence. Ability to make creative and safe use of information and communication technologies. This supports the development of critical thinking, and is a key skill for data search and analysis, research, communication, learning and inclusive participation in society.
  • CT4. Influential leadership. Ability to influence others, to be able to direct or guide them towards specific objectives in times of constant change arising from the volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous environments (VUCA) of today’s world. Influential leaders are key points of reference, and are able to achieve high-level performance and the best results. Their generous, ethical, empathetic behaviour and high level of emotional intelligence enables them to act as role models, achieving high-level performance and motivation in their teams.
  • CT5. Teamwork. The ability and maturity to develop the social intelligence necessary for efficient cooperation with others in the pursuit of a shared objective, participating actively and empathetically, and practising active listening as well as ensuring effective communication and respect for all team members. In the digital era, this efficiency translates into the ability to work with others in multi-platform, multi-cultural, multi-lingual and multi-disciplinary environments in a seamless manner, and achieving the established objectives.
  • CT6. Critical analysis. Ability to integrate analysis with critical thinking in the process of assessing different ideas or possibilities and their potential for error, based on objective evidence and data, and leading to effective and valid decision making. This involves learning to locate, extract, analyse and interpret reliable information and data in order to study, examine and rationalise, in this way being able to reach a conclusion quickly and efficiently, as is demanded by today’s world.
  • CT7. Resilience. People’s ability to adapt to adverse, unexpected situations that cause stress, whether at a personal or a professional level, overcoming them and even turning them into opportunities for positive change. This capacity translates into profound personal growth, making the person aware of their limitations, moving out of their comfort zone, learning from obstacles, developing emotional intelligence and learning to persevere in difficult situations.
  • CT8. Ethical and social competence. Ability to perform in a professional context in an appropriate manner and to coexist with others in a plural society and a diverse world. The aim here is to help students to develop into responsible global citizens who are aware of inequalities and sensitive to diversity in a global world. Ethically aware and socially committed. International, multilingual, flexible and adaptable in multicultural environments.
