The implementation calendar was proposed by taking into account the autonomic regulation: “General lines for the implementation of Bachelor’s and Master’s Degrees in the GUS”, as well as the human and material resources in the Faculty of Biology. The extinction of the five-year degree in Biology took place progressively year after year, proving students, once each year was extinct, with 6 opportunities to pass in the 3 following years.
Studies to be extinct: five-year degree in Biology, taught in the Faculty of Biology of the University of Vigo.
Year | Bachelor’s degree implementation | Bachelor’s degree modalities implementation |
---|---|---|
1st year | 2009/10 | – |
2nd year | 2010/11 | – |
3rd year | 2011/12 | – |
4th year | 2012/13 | – |
5th year | – | 2013/14 |
Adaptation from existing degrees
The Faculty of Biology suggests the following mechanism to incorporate students from the five-year degree in Biology study plan:
Adaptation by whole years:
it is suggested that students who have passed the three first years of the five-year degree can get straight into the 4th year of the Bachelor’s Degree.
Adaptations in unfinished years:
for optional subjects, it is suggested to recognise up to 30 ECTS credits from optional subjects in the five-year degree by 30 ECTS optional subject credits, given by the Teaching and Validations committee.
For basic and compulsory subjects, the following adaptations by subjects is suggested, which will be reviewed and pass, if correspond, by the Teaching and Validations Committee:
