Competencies are the set of knowledge, skills and attitudes to be acquired by students throughout the degree, aimed at preparing them for the exercise of professional activities.
CB6 – Possess and understand knowledge that provides a basis or opportunity to be original in the development and/or application of ideas, often in a research context CB7 – Students know how to apply the knowledge acquired and their problem-solving ability in environments new or little known within broader (or multidisciplinary) contexts related to their area of study CB8 – That students are able to integrate knowledge and face the complexity of formulating judgments based on information that, while incomplete or limited, includes reflections on the social and ethical responsibilities linked to the application of their knowledge and judgments CB9 – Students should be able to communicate their conclusions and the knowledge and ultimate reasons that support them to audiences specialized and non-specialized in a clear and unambiguous manner CB10 – That students have the learning skills that allow them to continue studying in a way that will be largely self-directed or autonomous.
CG2 – Understand the technologies associated with Astrophysics observation and instrumentation design. CG3 – Analyze a problem, study the possible published solutions and propose new solutions or lines of attack. CG4 – Evaluate orders of magnitude and develop a clear perception of physically different situations that show analogies allowing the use of synergies and known solutions for new problems. CG1 – Know the advanced mathematical and numerical techniques that allow the application of Physics and Astrophysics to the solving complex problems using simple models.
CE9 – Understand the instrumentation used to observe the Universe in different frequency ranges. CE10 – Use current scientific instrumentation (both ground-based and space-based) and understand its technologies innovative. CE11 – Know how to use current astrophysical instrumentation (both in terrestrial and space observatories) especially those that uses the most innovative technology and knows the fundamentals of the technology used. CE12 – Apply the acquired knowledge to carry out original research work in Astrophysics. CE2 – Understand the structure and evolution of stars. CE3 – Understand the mechanisms of nucleosynthesis. CE4 – Understand the structure and evolution of galaxies. CE5 – Understand the models of the origin and evolution of the Universe. CE6 – Understand the structure of matter and be able to solve problems related to the interaction between matter and radiation in different energy ranges. CE7 – Know how to find solutions to specific astrophysical problems by themselves using specific bibliography with a minimal supervision. Ability to handle a novel research project independently. CE8 – Know how to program, at least, in one language relevant to scientific calculations in Astrophysics. CE1 – Understand the basic conceptual schemes of Astrophysics.
