The main objective of this subject is to provide tools to acquire a general view of the state of the art in the scientific fields of the master. In addition, it is also aimed to get a general view of relevant and current scientific aspects. For this, an individual and team research work will be carried out, as well as a variety of academic activities, seminars, lectures, courses and other activities provided by the centers related to master with this goal.
Design, planning and development of an original research project. The disertation will involve carrying out a project associated with a work plan signed by the student tutor, in such a way that the student will have to carry out the following tasks:
- Bibliographic documentation on the background and current status of the subject proposed as a project.
- Elaboration of a proposal of objectives.
- Carrying out the experiments.
- Data treatment.
- Preparation, public presentation and defense of the most relevant results and their conclusions.
Depende del trabajo experimental a realizar por el alumno
CG1 - Know how to use the knowledge acquired for practical problem solving in the field of research and innovation, in the multidisciplinary context of biological chemistry and molecular materials.
CG2 - Know how to apply the scientific method and acquire skills for developing the necessary protocols for the design and critical assessment of chemical experiments.
CG3 - Be able to discuss and communicate ideas, in both oral and written form, to specialised and non-specialised audiences (congresses, conferences, etc.) in a clear and reasoned way.
CG6 - Have leadership, creativity, initiative and entrepreneurship abilities.
CG7 - Be capable of working in multidisciplinary teams and collaborating with other specialists, both nationally and internationally.
CG8 - Be able to use scientific literature and develop the judgement needed for its interpretation and use.
CG9 - Be capable of handling chemical substances safely and work in a chemical laboratory without risks.
CG10 - Be able to develop the different research stages (from the conception of an idea and the literature search through to target setting, experiment design, analysis of the results and drawing conclusions).
CB6 - Possess and understand the knowledge that provides a basis or an opportunity for being creative and unique in the development and/or implementation of ideas, often in a research context.
CB7 - Students should know how to use the knowledge acquired and their problem-solving capacity in new or little known environments within wider (or multidisciplinary) contexts related to their field of study.
CB8 - Students should be able to integrate knowledge and deal with the complexity of making judgements from information which – being incomplete or limited – includes reflections on the social and ethical responsibilities linked to the use of their knowledge or judgements.
CB9 - Students should know how to communicate their findings and the knowledge and underlying reasons underpinning them to specialised and non-specialised audiences in a clear and unambiguous way.
CB10 - Students should have the learning skills that allow them to carry on studying in such a way that should be mainly self-directed or autonomous.
Experimental (or computational) work under individual supervision, with the adequate infrastructure and necessary materials to be able to achieve the proposed objectives.
Tutorials for work planning, supervision of experimental work and analysis of results
Use of specialized software, databases and web resources. Online teaching support (Virtual Campus).
Presentation and discussion of partial results of the project in the research seminars of the group or center.
Preparation of a report of the research carried out.
Presentation and defense of the research work carried out, results and conclusions.
- Experimental work performed.
- Written report detailing the most relevant results of the work carried out.
- Oral presentation and public defense of the main achievements of the experimental work carried out.
Experimental work that would train students in the experimental and analytical techniques that are nowadays used in research laboratories both in universities and in the chemical industry. The fundamental formative activity corresponds to the tasks that characterize the development of research: bibliographic search, planning and development of experiments, data analysis, and programming of new experiments based on the preceding results, etc.
The different written or oral activities will be carried out preferably in English.
