• Integrated physiology and pharmacology (25 credits)
• Professional development and ethics (5 credits)
• Physiological and pharmacological mechanisms and experimental approaches (15 credits)
• Project work in translational physiology and pharmacology (7.5 credits)
• Bioinformatics from a physiological and pharmacological perspective (7.5 credits)
• Degree project in translational physiology and pharmacology (30 credits)
• Applied physiology and pharmacology - research project 2 (7.5 credits)
• Applied physiology and pharmacology - research project 1 (7.5 credits)
• Laboratory animal science, behavior and metabolism (7.5 credits)

Course Details

The course "Information literacy: searching, writing and presenting science" (4 credits) aims to develop students' knowledge and skills in searching and handling scientific information, as well as their medical scientific writing and presentation. The course has a mixture of learning activities, including web-based learning, lectures, group work, and seminars with poster presentations and opposition, with full-time teaching (100%). The course starts on September 1st, 2025, and runs for 2 weeks and 3 days.

Programme Structure

The programme is designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the principles and applications of translational physiology and pharmacology. The programme consists of a combination of theoretical and practical courses, including research projects and a degree project. The programme is designed to be completed in two years, with the possibility of part-time study.

Learning Outcomes

Upon completion of the programme, students will have developed a comprehensive understanding of the principles and applications of translational physiology and pharmacology. They will have acquired the skills and knowledge necessary to design and conduct research projects, as well as to communicate their findings effectively. The programme is designed to prepare students for careers in research, industry, and academia, as well as for further study at the doctoral level.

Assessment and Evaluation

The programme is assessed and evaluated through a combination of written exams, oral presentations, and project work. The degree project is assessed and evaluated through a written thesis and an oral defense. The programme is designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the principles and applications of translational physiology and pharmacology, as well as the skills and knowledge necessary to succeed in their chosen careers.
