-          Distinguish and characterize different types of isomerism and to apply these concepts in the context of chemical reactions
-          Know the main basic mechanisms of organic chemistry (additions, substitutions, eliminations)
-          Interpret the reaction mechanisms of the main functions and the parameters influencing them
-          Understand the principles of spectroscopic methods and potential applications of these for bioengineers
-          Apply the above concepts to solve simple problems of synthesis or retrosynthetic analysis
-          Gain practical experience basis through the realization of the laboratory manipulations of Organic Chemistry
