General Competences

• CG1 : Acquire advanced knowledge in highly specialized scientific and technological research contexts to achieve a detailed and well-founded understanding of theoretical, practical and methodological aspects in one or more fields of study.
• CG2 : Apply and integrate the knowledge acquired, its understanding, its scientific foundation, as well as related problem solving, to different social spheres and highly specialized multidisciplinary contexts, both of a research and professional nature.
• CG3 : Evaluate and select the appropriate scientific theory and the precise methodology of their fields of study to formulate judgments based on incomplete or limited information, including, when necessary and pertinent, a reflection on the social or ethical responsibility linked to the proposed solution.
• CG4 : Being able to predict and control the evolution of complex situations through the development of innovative work methodologies adapted to the specific scientific/research, technological or professional field, generally multidisciplinary, in which the activity is taking place.
• CG5 : Knowing how to transmit clearly and unambiguously to an audience, specialized or not, the results from scientific and technological research or from the field of the most advanced innovation, as well as the most relevant foundations on which they are based.
• CG6 : Develop sufficient autonomy to participate in research projects and scientific or technological collaborations in their thematic field, in interdisciplinary contexts and also when a high component of knowledge transfer is involved.
• CG7 : Being able to take responsibility for their own professional development and specialization in one or more fields of study.

Specific Competences

• CE1 : Recognize, distinguish and contrast the main theories and methodologies for basic research in literary, linguistic and cultural studies in the field of English Studies.
• CE2 : Recognize, distinguish and contrast the main critical movements in literary, linguistic and cultural studies in the field of English Studies.
• CE6 : Possess theoretical and applied knowledge of the general mechanisms of communication in English that allow its application to work contexts in both the public and private sectors, and serve as linguistic mediation in different cultural contexts.
• CE7 : Acquire increasing autonomy in the learning process that facilitates the search for resources and information to perform research tasks in the field of English Studies.

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 setting.
• CB7 : That students know how to apply the knowledge acquired and their problem-solving skills in new or little-known environments 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, being incomplete or limited, includes reflections on the social and ethical responsibilities linked to the application of their knowledge and judgments.
• CB9 : That students know how to communicate their conclusions and knowledge, and the ultimate reasons that support them to specialized and non-specialized audiences in a clear and unambiguous way.
