We have more than 200 exchange agreements so that you can study at a university in America, Europe or Asia, where you will discover other ways of researching, understanding and treating diseases to improve human health. In addition, at the UFV campus you will live on campus with students of different nationalities.
Biomedicine, a tool to transform the world
Health is facing unprecedented challenges and biomedicine plays a crucial role in this scenario. At UFV, we train professionals capable of “revolutionizing” the sector by bringing together science and ethics to address challenges such as the development of gene therapies, the improvement of AI diagnostics or the creation of vaccines. Our humanistic approach promotes scientific excellence combined with responsible innovation.
One of the things I like most as a professor in the Faculty of Experimental Sciences is the excellent practical training the students receive. At the end of the four years of the university degree, students finish with an excellent experimental training. This, added to the internships at various leading institutions in the sector, makes a big difference in the student’s professional life. Another aspect I would like to highlight is the humanistic training our students receive. Thanks to it, they are able to face situations that arise in the development of their professional career from a more humanized point of view. Finally, the pedagogy that the University follows, accompanying and putting the student’s life at the center, is another of the very positive aspects that I see as a professor of these university degrees.

Since I entered the UFV, I have had many opportunities to train myself in the field of science, from classes, seminars, courses to practical hours in university laboratories that have allowed me to have a very good basis to feel confident in myself in my internship in Germany
