Admiring life in all its forms is a great place to start for anyone thinking about studying biology, as this is the science that studies living beings and their interactions with the environment. In the PUCRS Bachelor's Degree in Biological Sciences, you will learn about the diversity, evolution and systems of animals, plants, fungi and microorganisms, combining classroom theory with practical experience in laboratories and field activities. Our course is comprehensive: the subjects cover the most diverse possibilities for a biologist to work in the environment and biodiversity, health and biotechnology. You will also be able to participate in research groups that study, for example, genomic and forensic biology, plant biotechnology, biophysics and biochemistry, immunology and cancer, microbiology, biodiversity and ecology.
In addition to technical knowledge, other skills and competencies are also developed during the course. Here, we train professionals who are capable of solving problems in a critical and reflective manner, who master new technologies and keep up with social changes, always aiming at the conservation of biodiversity and socio-environmental sustainability.
Can you relate to this and are you already imagining your day-to-day life on the course? Find out more details and come study at PUCRS.
