A Master based on projects and active methodologies

The main objective of the Master's subjects is to train you in the development of a project whose starting point is a real situation that needs to be improved. That is why the project constitutes the framework of the Master and the different subjects must be understood at the service of said project. That is to say, the project is not a work that you will develop only at the end of the Master, but rather it is a process that remains open throughout its duration.

Teachers and subject matter experts will contribute to the development of competencies, based on the scope of their own area of knowledge. These subjects will be learning environments for the development of skills where you will work with methodologies such as:

• Problem-Based Learning (PBL): You will be able to synthesize and build knowledge to provide solutions to problems so that you will respond to conditions that they themselves had set.
• Cases: You will apply the knowledge received and experience in resolving cases; to train you in resolving situations. You will learn to be open to diverse solutions.
• Projects: You will apply the knowledge received and learn about yourself and the need to count on others; you will synthesize and construct knowledge; you will create.
• Challenges: This pedagogical approach requires a global vision of the real world. Starting from your interests to give practical meaning to education, you will develop transversal skills such as collaborative and interdisciplinary work, decision making, communication, problem solving, ethics and leadership.

Tutoring and monitoring through telematic and virtual means (chat, email, telephone support) will have a particularly relevant role. They encourage the active participation of students and promote communication between teachers and students.
