Learning outcomes
At the end of this learning unit, the student is able to : | |
| 1 | Contribution of the course to the learning outcomes of the Bachelor of Veterinary Medicine programme. This course contributes to points 1.1.1 and 1.2.4 of the learning outcomes. |
| 2 | Specific learning outcomes of the course By the end of this course, students will have an in-depth understanding of the molecules that make up an animal cell and their roles in cell structure and function. They will have acquired the basics for understanding molecular evolution and phylogeny, cell death and the mechanisms of carcinogenesis. |
