Ensuring that theoretical principles are reinforced through their application in concrete practical situations.
- Monitoring and Continuous Improvement
Regular evaluation of the effectiveness of teaching methodologies through pedagogical surveys, semester reports, coordination meetings, and oversight by the Course Council and the Pedagogical Council, promoting identification of best practices and continuous improvement of the teaching–learning process.
6. Learning Assessment
Conducted in accordance with the learning objectives of each curricular unit (CU).
Considers the three dimensions of knowledge:
- Knowing (cognitive)
- Knowing how to do (psychomotor)
- Knowing how to be (socio-affective)
Each Curricular Unit Sheet (CUS) is periodically reviewed by the management of the Department of Veterinary Sciences (DVS), with training in pedagogical practices and knowledge assessment.
It aims to ensure continuous alignment between content and assessment instruments.
The process is aligned with the methodology used to monitor teaching methodologies.

Aaronne L., former BSc in Bioveterinary Sciences student
The strong point of this Bachelor’s degree is the personal investment and availability of our professors. They are always ready to support and help us. I learned a lot during these 3 years and I am extremely grateful to them for that!
Jane C., former BSc in Bioveterinary Sciences student
I really enjoyed this degree because I had different practical classes that helped me understand the theoretical content. This degree allowed me to gain knowledge in Biology, Genetics, laboratory safety standards, and more. I can say that the main positive aspect of this degree is the development of critical thinking through article analysis, oral presentations, and practical class experiments.
