Main focus
; The training received in this master’s programme will provide students with the knowledge and skills to do the following: acquire a systematic understanding of how to carry out genetic analysis, including the skills required to solve practical cases; – use laboratory techniques and instruments in the various disciplines of genetics and the correct choice of research methods specific to these disciplines; – understand and apply the concepts, principles, theories, and models of evolution in a multidisciplinary approach focused on the acquisition of an in-depth knowledge of the terminology and essential concepts that underpin evolutionary biology; – understand and apply the genetic and genomic principles and techniques normally used in the biosanitary, agrifood, and environmental fields.
Competences
Students that have completed the second cycle have the following competencies: – Have demonstrated knowledge and understanding that is founded upon a basis or opportunity for originality in developing and/or applying ideas, often within a research context. – Can apply their acquired knowledge and understanding, and problem solving abilities in new or unfamiliar environments within broader (or multidisciplinary) contexts related to their field of study. – Have the ability to integrate knowledge and handle complexity, and formulate judgments with incomplete or limited information, but that include reflecting on social and ethical responsibilities linked to the application of their knowledge and judgments. – Can communicate their conclusions, and the knowledge and rationale underpinning these, to specialist and non-specialist audiences clearly and unambiguously. – Have the learning skills to allow them to continue to study in a manner that may be largely self-directed or autonomous.

Grading scale
In the Spanish university system, modules/courses are graded on a scale of 0 to 10 points with the following qualitative equivalence:
0-4,9: «suspenso»; 5-6,9: «aprobado»; 7-8,9: «notable»; 9-10: «sobresaliente». A special mention, «Matrícula de Honor» may be granted to up to 5% of the students in a group provided they have got a «sobresaliente». To pass a module/course is necessary to get at least 5 points.
In cases of recognition of ECTS, professional experience, cultural or sports activities, or student representation no grading will be recorded but, where appropriate, the word «Apto».
