Courses detail

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 to apply their acquired knowledge and their ability in problem-solving in new or little-known environments within broader (or multidisciplinary) contexts related to their field of study
Students should be capable of integrating knowledge and facing up to the complexity of showing judgment from incomplete or limited information that includes reflections on the social and ethical responsibilities which are linked to the application of their knowledge and judgment
Students should know how to communicate their conclusions - and the knowledge and reasons sustaining them - to a specialised and non-specialised audience in a clear and unambiguous way
Students should have the learning skills that allow them to continue studying in a way that will be largely self-directed or independent
