Learning Goals
The objectives defined for the curricular unit Chemistry Applied to Pharmaceutical Sciences are naturally related to its elementary, generalist and supportive role for subsequent courses.
Students should:
-Know and understand the fundamental concepts and principles of Chemistry;
-Know and understand the importance of Chemistry in Society and the central role it plays in the explanation and interpretation of phenomena.
Students should also develop skills that allow them to:
- Identify problems in the field of Chemistry;
- Interpret specialized information in the area of Chemistry;
- Apply Chemistry knowledge to solve concrete problems in the scientific area of your course;
- Cooperate in group work;
- Complement and consolidate the subjects taught, using bibliographic material, databases or information available on the Internet.

Teaching Methods
The syllabus is taught interactively, using different methodologies, supported by the provision of study material, by consulting the recommended bibliography and by the student's autonomous work.
The theoretical classes are classes of exposition of the subject, illustrated by examples that concretize the concepts and that will be explored and discussed in the classes.
The theoretical-practical classes are designed to solve problems that give practical examples of the syllabus.
The practical laboratory classes are designed to carry out works related to the syllabus and which aim to develop practical skills in the student.

Assessment
The theoretical and theoretical-practical components are evaluated individually in two optional modes: continuous assessment (two tests) or the final exam. The final grade will be calculated as follows: 20% for the practical laboratory component and 80% of the grade obtained in the theoretical and theoretical-practical components.
