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 new or little-known environments within broader (or multidisciplinary) contexts related to their area of study.
CB8 – 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 – Students have the learning skills that will allow them to continue studying in a way that will be largely self-directed or autonomous.
