Basic Competencies

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, this expert will guarantee the following knowledge, skills, and competencies, aligned with EQF level 7.

  • B1. Students possess and understand highly specialized knowledge, some of it at the forefront of a specific field of work or study, which lays the foundation for original thinking or research.
  • B2. That students acquire critical awareness of knowledge issues in a specific field and at the point of articulation between different fields.
  • B3. That students 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.
  • B4. Students should be able to manage and transform complex and unpredictable work or study contexts that require new strategic approaches.
  • B5. That students are able to assume responsibilities regarding the development of knowledge and/or professional practices and the review of the strategic performance of teams.
