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 should have learning skills which allow them to continue studying in a way that will be largely self-directed or autonomous.
General competences
Ability to integrate effectively in a work group and work in a team, sharing available information and integrating their activity in the group activity, collaborating actively in the attainment of common objectives.
Capacity for study, synthesis and sufficient autonomy to start a Doctoral Thesis, once the training programme is completed.omously
Draw up scientific and technical documents, particularly scientific articles.
Know how to prepare and conduct presentations, before a specialized public, about research or a scientific project.
