BA/BS in Biologia

Biología trains professionals with a strong scientific grounding in descriptive, experimental and applied biology, including resource management, conservation and the study of human impacts on the environment. The page describes a path leading to a bachelor's degree in natural sciences, then a licentiate in biology, and finally the professional title Biólogo/a. The faculty is presented as a major centre for systematics and biodiversity, set close to river basins, lakes, forests and the sea. Entry to the program runs through the national university admission process (PAES), in which each test is given its own weighting and applicants must reach a minimum weighted score to apply. The published length of study is 5 years. The page also gives the Demre admission code, the number of places and the recent cutoff scores, which applicants can use to judge their chances. Annual tuition and a separate enrolment charge are listed, together with an internal university grant for students who do not receive state free tuition (gratuidad).
