Recognition of the diversity and interculturality in the History of Europe of the Mediterranean and Atlantic world.
Capacity for the rational and selective use of new communication technologies (Internet) and teaching innovation in learning, understanding and assimilating the teaching contents (practical and theoretical) of the Master's programme and in obtaining relevant information for research.
