Academic, scientific and professional interest justification
Basic competences
Have and understand knowledge that can provide a base or opportunity to be original in the development and/or application of ideas, often in a research context
Students should know how to apply their acquired knowledge and ability to problem-solving in new or little known environments within broader (or multidisciplinary) contexts related to their field of study.
Students should be able to integrate knowledge and face the complexity of making judgement from information that is incomplete or limited, including reflections on the social and ethical responsibilities related to applying their knowledge and judgment.
Students know how to communicate their findings, latest knowledge and reasons supporting them, to a specialised and non-specialised public in a clear and unambiguous way.
Students have the learning skills needed to allow them to continue studying in a way which will be mainly self-directed or autonmous
General competences
