Course competencies (verified by ANECA in official undergraduate and Master’s degrees) for academic year 2021-22

General Competences (CG)

  • CG1 : Commitment to self-guided or autonomous learning to gain deeper knowledge of the subject.
  • CG2 : Monitor and critically interpret the latest advances in the theory and practice of Materials Science.
  • CG3 : Carry out research tasks and interpret the results of the same.
  • CG4 : Communicate the content of the subject with sufficient fluency in Spanish and English both orally and in writing.
  • CG5 : Communicate research results with sufficient fluency in Spanish and English both orally and in writing.
  • CG6 : Use scientific bibliography, patent and legislation databases.
  • CG7 : Use computer tools and information technologies.
  • CG8 : Prepare and defend a research project.

 

Basic Competences

  • CB10 : That students possess the learning skills that allow them to continue studying in a way that will be largely self-directed or autonomous.
  • 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 : That students know how to apply the knowledge acquired and their ability to solve problems 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 deal with the complexity of making judgements on the basis of incomplete or limited information, including reflections on the social and ethical responsibilities associated with information which, while incomplete or limited, includes reflections on the social and ethical responsibilities linked to the application of their knowledge and judgements.
  • CB9 : Students are able to communicate their conclusions and the ultimate knowledge and rationale behind them to specialist and non-specialist audiences in a clear and unambiguous way.
