- Forensic and Criminal Sciences have had a remarkable increase, placing them at the forefront of the vocational and professional interests of various citizens who view the various associated fields as viable and attractive career possibilities in this area of research. In Portugal there are several specialists and the Judicial Police has been considered one of the best and most effective internationally. In forensic and criminal investigation, there has been a shortage of human resources and, above all, the absence of training courses for these technicians, in which this UC assumes extreme relevance for their inherent competences. This course will make it possible to close the large shortage of human resources in the stages of conservation and sample preparation, execution of laboratory procedures and thus contribute to the gain of time for the analysis and interpretation of results and the rapid issuance of reports by senior specialists. of forensic medicine.

- The main objective of this course is to provide technical training in the laboratory scientific areas of forensic medicine, namely in Forensic Biology and Genetics. No biological or biomedical training can dispense with the understanding of the role of molecular biology as a scientific support for multiple health disciplines, particularly in legal medicine. The almost exponential growth of Human Genetics in the late twentieth century, culminating in the mapping of the human genome, allowed a better understanding of all clinical pathology. The laboratory classes are a complement to the theoretical teaching and have as main objective the learning of the most common techniques of molecular biology. At the end of the course, the student should be able to apply the concepts acquired in the interpretation and resolution of situations related to the exercise of the profession.

- Expositive, demonstrative, participative and problem solving. The unit can be effected by continuous assessment or final evaluation. The final classification (FC) curricular unit for continuous evaluation is obtained from the marks obtained in the written component (T) and the practical component (PL). The written component consists of two written tests and is on theoretical a practical content. The minimum grade in each frequency is 8 values. The laboratory component consists of two moments of practical assessment conducted during the practical classes, must be equal to or greater than 9.5 values. The final grade is calculated from the following formula: CF = 0.50 T + 0.50 PL. The classification of all assessment instruments is expressed on a scale of 0 to 20, and the weighted value of the marks obtained must be equal or greater than 9.5 values.
