This double degree aims to train graduates to cover the multiple areas where professionals from both branches need each other, beyond the connection between Chemistry and Biology that Biochemistry implies.
Double Bachelor´s Degree in Chemistry and Biology
ECTS Number: 366
Seats number: 20
Dean or center director:
Jesus Sanmartin Matalobos

MECES Level: 2
Coordinator university:
University of Santiago de Compostela
Partaker universities:
University of Santiago de Compostela
The Bachelor's Degrees in Chemistry and Biology are sufficiently complementary to make it feasible to design a pathway to obtain the double degree. The proposal for this Double Itinerary is based on the multidisciplinary requirements needed to respond to most of today's scientific challenges, many of which lie precisely in the overlapping of these two disciplines.
The areas involved in this strategic commitment of the University of Santiago de Compostela have the material and human resources needed to implement it.

El estudiantado de primer curso por primera vez a tiempo completo tiene que matricular 72 créditos.
Continuación de estudios : libre con un máximo de 90 créditos.
The USC has a programme of student tutors for Bachelor’s degrees, so that students in their final years, after receiving training provided by the University, carry out orientation tasks for students who are beginning their studies.

Tutoring programme
When an official degree is suspended, the USC guarantees the effective development of the studies started by its students until their completion. To this end, the Governing Council approves the criteria related, among others, to:
• The admission of new enrolments in the degree programme.
• The gradual suppression of teaching.
• If the extinct degree is replaced by another similar one (modifying the nature of the degree), it establishes the conditions that facilitate students’ continuity of studies in the new degree and the equivalences between the subjects of one and the other plan.
The general requirements for access to degree programmes are set out in article 15 of Royal Decree 822/2021, of 28 September, which establishes the organisation of university education and the procedure for quality assurance. More information can be found at the following link:

In addition, the USC has a University Information Office (OIU) https://www.usc.gal/en/node/44321 , through which specific queries are answered.

Mobility
The mobility of own and host students is regulated at the USC by the Regulations on Inter-University Student Exchanges, approved by the Governing Council on 26.10.2012, and amended in 2019, the content of which can be consulted at the following link:

It is considered that the basic training offered in this double itinerary, together with the extensive compulsory training in both disciplines, will produce highly competitive graduates who are prepared to be able to choose one branch or the other, or ideally collaborative research pathways. Although the obvious connections between Chemistry and Biology are those involving Biochemistry, there are also multiple areas where current professionals in both branches have a mutual need for each other; this proposal aims to train graduates to fill this gap.
In order to accredit that students have acquired the competences established in the two degrees, two Final Dissertations will be carried out, which will be governed by the general regulations and those of each centre. An attempt will be made to ensure that there is a relationship between the subject matter of the two Final Dissertations with a view to greater integration of the studies.
In addition, an attempt will be made to offer subjects that involve collaborative lines of research between the two degrees and will be co-directed, whenever possible, by Chemistry and Biology lecturers; the aim is to guarantee initiation in research from the complementary perspective of the two disciplines.
