One of the purposes of university-specific degrees is to contribute to lifelong learning from a university perspective. In this sense, the European Qualifications Framework (EQF) constitutes a reference for promoting lifelong learning. In line with this framework, postgraduate degrees guarantee, as a minimum, the following knowledge, skills, and competencies, corresponding to level 7 of the EQF. Students:
– CB-1. Possess and understand highly specialized knowledge, some of it cutting-edge in a specific field of work or study, which lays the foundation for original thinking or research.
– CB-2. Acquire critical awareness of knowledge issues in a specific field and at the intersection between different fields.
– CB-3. Develop specialized skills for problem-solving in research or innovation, with a view to developing new knowledge and procedures, and integrating knowledge in various fields.
– CB-4. Know how to manage and transform complex and unpredictable work or study contexts that require new strategic approaches.
– CB-5. Be able to assume responsibilities regarding the development of professional knowledge and/or practices and the review of the strategic performance of teams.
Throughout the two years of the master's degree, the student must acquire:
– CE-1 Advanced theoretical knowledge of systemic family therapy.
