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 aim is to provide gratuates with a good knowledge in the disciplines characterizing Biology such as zoology, botany, biochemistry and molecular biology, genetic, ecology, microbiology, physiology. The graduates are trained to apply the basic knowledge in research and in professional activities. This is ensured by frontal lectures combined with practical activities (20 credits; 8 hours each) conferring interdisciplinary competences. The programme is enriched by optional courses in the area of biochemistry/molecular biology, morphology/physiology or ecology/evolution.

The Bachelor in Geological Sciences provides knowledge on composition, structure and evolution of the Earth and basic skills for: geological mapping, retrieval and analysis of georesources, land management and mitigation of natural and man-made hazards from landslides, floods, earthquakes and pollution of soil and water. The Bachelor offers a proper preparation for the continuation of studies (Master); from an occupational point of view, the skills acquired allow access to a purely technical job figure in public bodies, institutions, companies, research agencies and professional firms.
