Organization

Teaching Staff

The Faculty of Experimental Sciences is comprised of over 80% individuals with doctoral qualifications. Our professors are subject matter experts and are committed to providing students with an excellent and comprehensive education. Our faculty boasts a group of esteemed professors with established research and teaching careers. These individuals continue to be promoted by the faculty through their active research and teaching innovation projects.

University Life

The Faculty of Experimental Sciences offers students the possibility of deepening the search for meaning in their work through complementary training activities (optional subjects in which this type of activity is recognized in the form of optional ECTS), congresses, study trips and mission programs.

In addition, the Faculty encourages the creation of student societies and schools, in which students and professors of the faculty participate jointly (3Eras School of Rare Diseases, Society of Students, Science and Development (CIDE)).

We also offer internal scholarship programs that allow students to approach laboratory work and initiate them into the world of research.

Student Societies and Schools

As a result of the concern of our students, the following student societies and schools were founded with the joint participation of students and professors of the faculty:

INTERSCIENCE CONVERSATIONS

Research

Research is one of the main priorities of this Faculty. The objective is to facilitate the generation of new knowledge and its transfer to society. For this reason, quality research is promoted and, with the support of a prestigious faculty, the necessary means are provided so that research is part of their daily effort.

In order to accommodate interdisciplinary groups that develop competitive research projects in the areas of Experimental and Biosanitary Sciences, the Institute for Biosanitary Research of the Universidad Francisco de Vitoria (IIB) was created.

The IIB houses all the research groups of the Faculty. These are distributed in six thematic areas: Advanced Therapies and Oncology, Neurosciences, Biotechnology, Computational Biology, Biomedical Engineering and Sustainable Development.

UFV Laboratories

Our laboratories are equipped with the latest technology, including flow cytometry, multiphoton microscopy, cell and microbial cultures, molecular analysis equipment, and mass spectrometry.

External and Institutional Relations

External relations are a fundamental element of our educational mission, since they are an opportunity to enrich the training of students and faculty through meetings and joint learning with different institutions. From the Faculty, we promote this encounter through the establishment of agreements with companies, research centers, universities, foundations and associations willing to contribute to our mission and educational objectives. Thus, the Faculty favors:

  1. All our students carry out external internships as part of their training program, which consist of stays in companies, hospitals, research centers and other public, private, national and international institutions of the highest level, lasting between four and six months.
  2. Mobility of researchers and teachers.
  3. Internationalization of the curriculum of educational programs, with English language training, Erasmus programs and specific programs (https://www.ufv.es/en/internacional/).
  4. Educational collaboration for external internships of excellence.
  5. Bilateral researcher exchanges between institutions that promote scientific collaboration.

We currently have more than two hundred and fifty agreements with research centers, universities and companies of the highest national and international level.
