Learning outcomes of the subject
The student will acquire a critical scientific approach, capacity for experimental design and scientific communication in the field of Neuropsychopharmacology.The student will acquire practical skills in the appropriate techniques to address problems of a basic or applied nature in Neuropsychopharmacology.
The student will acquire the knowledge, skills and abilities necessary to carry out an innovative research project in Neuropsychopharmacology.
The student will know how to apply advanced knowledge and techniques in Pharmacology and Neuroscience to the study and treatment of neuropsychiatric disorders.

Ordinary call: orientations and renunciation
Attendance is compulsory. Excused absences may be made up with the activity indicated by the person in charge of the session.The intervention of the student in the classes will be valued, the questions and comments made in each session will be valued. A high participation and attendance to 100% of the sessions allows to pass the course.
An unexcused attendance of less than 80% of the sessions will result in the failure of the course.
In the case of absence with a justified cause (more than 30%), an exam/test of the subject adjusted to the specific situation will be carried out.
The evaluation tests of the course will be adjusted to the characteristics of the group and will be made explicit at the beginning of the course.
Extraordinary call: orientations and renunciation
