U-Multirank's unique 'Sunburst chart' gives an illustration of a university's performance profile across the five U-Multirank dimensions. These are indicated in different colours. For instance, the teaching and learning dimension is symbolised by the colour green. Each 'sunray' represents one of the thirty plus U-Multirank indicators. The longer the ray, the better the performance of an institution on the selected indicator: a full-length ray stands for 'top group' performance, whereas a short ray means 'weak' performance. A missing sunray indicates that the specific data indicator is not available. An institution's performance in an indicator can be identified by moving the cursor over the rays. A key guard for the sunburst chart is provided here .

The Department of Life Sciences from the Faculty of Sciences and Technologies of the University of Coimbra, emerged from the aggregation of former departments (Anthropology, Biochemistry, Botany and Zoology). The compartmentalization of scientific knowledge, characteristic of classical science, has been disappearing, giving way to interdisciplinary, knowledge sharing and scientific skills. The merger of four departments allowed creating, a department where this spirit of sharing is present, and where LIFE is studied and taught at various levels.

Biochemistry has as main objective the description of the structure, organization and functioning of living matter in molecular terms. Its field of action can be divided into three main areas: study of metabolism (chemical reactions occurring in living matter), the structural chemistry of the components of living matter (the relationship with the biological function of living matter), molecular genetics (study of substances, processes, storage and transfer of biological information.

In the 2nd semester of the 3rd year of the Degree in Chemistry, there is a curricular unit “Laboratory Internship” (Estágio Laboratorial). The students are integrated in a research group, where during the semester they carry out a research project proposed by one of the teachers of the department. This allows the students to learn about the methodologies involved in scientific activities: planning and execution of scientific experiments, research and interpretation of scientific literature, processing and interpretation of results, and elaboration of scientific reports.
