Biophysics Learning Outcomes

World-class biophysicists start here

After completing the biophysics program, students will be able to:

  1. Foundations: Examine biophysical scenarios using both a conceptual understanding of the core concepts of biology, chemistry, and physics, and calculations using the appropriate methods of mathematical, theoretical, and computational physics.
  2. Scientific communication: Effectively communicate biophysics content through both written reports and oral presentation.
  3. Experimental methods: Use modern experimental equipment and techniques to acquire data, assess the advantages and limitations of these techniques, and design experiments to leverage their probative power.
  4. Applications: Assess biophysics questions by applying their physics and biophysics experience and knowledge to interpret experimental data and draw scientific conclusions.
