Training and Learning Results

Choose A	Code	Training and Learning Results
	A1	Possess and understand knowledge in an area of study that builds upon the foundation of general secondary education and, while supported by advanced textbooks, also includes aspects that involve knowledge at the forefront of its field of study.
	A2	Know how to apply knowledge to a professional activity or vocation and possess the competences typically demonstrated through the development and defence of arguments and the solving of problems within their field of study.
	A3	Have the ability to gather and interpret relevant data (normally within their field of study) in order to make judgements that include reflection on relevant social, scientific, or ethical issues.
	A4	Be capable of communicating information, ideas, problems, and solutions to both specialist and non-specialist audiences.
	A5	Develop the learning skills necessary to undertake further studies with a high degree of autonomy.

Choose B	Code	Knowledge
	B1	Be able to analyse and synthesise.
	B2	Be able to organise and plan.
	B3	Be able to manage information effectively (the ability to retrieve and analyse information from a variety of sources).
	B4	Be able to communicate complex problems and projects clearly, both orally and in writing, within a field of study.
	B5	Understand and acquire the ethical foundations necessary for professional development.

Choose C	Code	Skill
	C1	Possess sufficient knowledge to carry out all design processes in a coherent manner. This includes the collection and analysis of data, formal synthesis, the application of knowledge in practice, the formulation and defence of a design concept, and its development through to implementation, manufacturing, and production.
	C2	Be able to identify problems that can be solved through design, formulate them as design challenges, gather the relevant data required to develop the project, propose a design concept and establish formalisation criteria, select appropriate materials and construction processes for each case, ensure consistency in decision-making, and evaluate the results obtained.
	C3	Understand the aesthetic foundations of design (morphology, structure, colour, space, volume, tectonics, typography, and composition).
	C4	Be proficient in the conceptual and technological tools and methodologies applicable to a design project (specialised software, traditional and digital representation systems, construction of mock-ups, models and prototypes, photography, video techniques, audiovisual and interactive graphics, animation, and illustration), and demonstrate skill in the use of other techniques, specific procedures, materials, technologies, and production processes.
	C5	Understand the specific terminology and languages applied to design processes, including pre-press and traditional and digital printing systems, graphic techniques, digital media, audiovisual graphics, and interaction design.
	C6	Understand the foundations and principles governing the use of typography, as well as the technological and conceptual criteria underlying its design and application. Demonstrate knowledge of the history of typography and the role it has played in the evolution of graphic and editorial design throughout history.
	C7	Understand the basics of descriptive geometry and demonstrate skill, confidence, and proficiency in the different systems of representation commonly used in graphic design and fashion design.
	C8	Understand the symbolic values and the processes involved in product design, visual communication, design systems, and design services.
	C9	Acquire proficiency in the techniques associated with the cross-disciplinary fields of photography, video editing, animation, illustration, and infographics.
	C10	Be able to apply appropriate research methodologies in design, including the identification of sources, their analysis, interpretation, synthesis, and the motivation to apply and further develop them.
	C11	Understand and manage volumetric, three-dimensional, and constructive aspects in their virtual dimension through 3D modelling.
	C12	Understand the fundamentals of design management and its professional context (economic aspects and their implications, legal issues, current regulations, project management, best practices, and codes of ethics), enabling their application both in individual and collaborative design projects and in professional interactions with design service providers.
	C13	Be able to critically analyse the evolution of the aesthetic, historical, material, economic, and conceptual values of design. Understand the historical development and the conceptual foundations of contemporary design discourse.
	C14	Understand the materials, procedures, and techniques associated with each specific creative language, as well as the vocabulary and concepts inherent to each particular artistic technique.
	C15	Be able to work with volumetric, structural, and production-related aspects in the context of products that provide three-dimensional support for graphic design (packaging and container design, signage systems, objects, and simple products for environmental and spatial design).
	C16	Understand current regulations, standardised formats, ergonomics, and the techniques of material reuse and sustainable design that govern the quality of products providing three-dimensional support for graphic design (packaging industry, signage systems, and simple objects for environmental and spatial design).
	C17	Be able to use the specific terminology of the different languages applied to design processes, as well as the formats and technical specifications of audiovisual design products intended for different screen-based media (TV, mobile devices, tablets, PCs, projections, and multimedia installations).
	C18	Master and apply the principles of interactivity and information architecture in design projects (narrative structure, sequentiality, sound, usability, user experience, and responsive design).
	C19	Understand the theory and history of design and fashion, as well as the vocabulary and conceptual foundations of fashion design.
	C20	Be able to solve problems within an interdisciplinary fashion design environment, maximising both aesthetic and formal possibilities.
	C21	Be able to apply the knowledge, technologies, tools, and standard construction techniques commonly used in the field of fashion and garment design.
