Studying the life sciences  provide   a foundation of scientific knowledge and ways of exploring the world. The life sciences pervade so many aspects of our lives; from health care to the environment, to debates about stem cell research and genetic testing. The life sciences bring together different disciplines that study living things in all their forms and at different scales. They allow the study of animals, plants, microorganisms, cells, molecules as well as the relationship between living things and their environment. It is important for undergraduate students of natural and life sciences to have a general idea and to know the basic concepts of the different specialties in this field to be able to avoid unemployment, succeed in future and enter the job market successfully.

Life sciences and their socio-economic impacts are currently one of the responses emerging in the world, to face the conjunction of major ecological, biological, economic and social issues and challenges.

•  Acquire knowledge in relation to the basic notions in life science which can be exploited in the SNV field and know their socio-economic impacts.
• Design professions linked directly or indirectly to the different specialties in natural and life sciences
• Become aware that it is possible to act to preserve environmental health.
• University training, whatever its specialty in Life Sciences and ambition for the future professional orientations, the student will have the opportunity to learn and experience their knowledge on life sciences and predict its socio-economic impacts.
