As it is a transversal module, it is common in different master’s degrees, branches, and areas of knowledge. For this reason, it is the perfect opportunity for students to interact within multidisciplinary groups, with common knowledge and interests, but from different points of view.
The module, which consists of 12 ECTS credits, fosters the development of sensitive people with social commitment and respect for nature. It also includes training for research, critical thinking, as well as methodology and standards for the preparation and writing of scientific articles.
