The pure and applied sciences are a guide for development, innovation and technology, elements necessary for the formation and evolution of modern society.
The Programmes of Pure and Applied Sciences are fully compatible with European standards and have the characteristics of new disciplines: they started as a research specialization and today are scientific, technological and professional autonomous fields of knowledge that train scientists sufficiently in order to face current and future scientific challenges.
