Learning Results
The curricular unit of Physics aims to provide Pharmacy students with a solid foundation in the fundamental
concepts of Physics that are relevant in the practice of their future profession. This unit will be focused in the areas of mechanics and fluid mechanics, molecular and ionic diffusion, spectroscopy and optics, regarding the comprehension of the physics of biological phenomena and of the instrumental methods of analysis . At the same time we will be transmitting the intellectual understanding and accuracy mechanisms underlying the scientific method, which so clearly transpire in the field of Physics.
