Dean's foreword

Message from the Dean

On behalf of the entire university community, teaching staff, researchers, administration and service staff and especially the people who make up the dean's team, we welcome you to the Faculty of Biosciences.

The Faculty of Biosciences is unique, singular, diverse and a model for many universities. A Faculty that, despite being young (created in 2006), is fully consolidated and recognized. Since its genesis and constitution, it has been a leader with its organization and management model in the field of “life sciences”. Arising from a much more generalist faculty in origin, the Faculty of Sciences, the push of the different disciplines that fall under Biology allowed the Faculty and its studies to be organized by identifying clearly differentiated and specialized professional (and, therefore, educational) objectives. In this context, the Faculty of Biosciences is currently responsible for 7 official degrees (three of them unique in Spain), participates in 3 official interuniversity and interfaculty degrees, is responsible for 9 Official Master's Degrees, participates in 4 Interuniversity Master's Degrees, 2 Erasmus Mundus international Master's Degrees, 1 own specialization study and offers a Minor.

It is unique, in relation to the faculties in the field of Environmental Biology. It is singular in that there are no other examples of faculties with such a wide range of "Bio" studies organized by the same center. It is diverse in terms of the studies and the level of specialization of these and in relation to the professional and scientific fields. Finally, it is a model for other universities in which a structure is still maintained only around Biology. A Faculty, therefore, a leader and a reference that has wide recognition, both nationally and internationally.

The commitment as a dean's team includes the main strategic objectives for the coming years (2025-2030) and is aligned with the UAB Strategic Plan 2018-2030. This plan groups the objectives into the 6 strategic lines of this UAB framework plan and you can consult it at this link. I would like to end this message with our firm commitment to work tirelessly for you, for your training as future professionals and so that your time at our Faculty also becomes something that fills you with good memories, experiences and new life companions.

A very warm greeting,

Isidre Gibert

Dean
