Courses detail

Students must have demonstrated knowledge and understanding of an area of study that builds on the basis of general secondary education, and which is usually at a level that, while supported by advanced textbooks, also includes some aspects that involve knowledge from the forefront of their field of study.
Students know how to apply their knowledge to their work or vocation in a professional way and possess the competencies that are usually demonstrated through the elaboration and defense of arguments and the resolution of problems within their area of study.
Students have the ability to gather and interpret relevant data (usually within their area of study) to make judgments that include reflection on relevant social, scientific or ethical issues.
Students can transmit information, ideas, problems and solutions to both a specialized and non-specialized audience.
Students have developed the learning skills necessary to undertake further studies with a high degree of autonomy.
