Code Description
A1 That the students demonstrate to possess and understand knowledge in an area of study that is part of the general education (second level), and often found at a level that, although based on advanced textbooks, also includes some aspects that involve knowledge from the avant-garde of the field of study
A2 That the students know how to apply their knowledge to their work or vocation in a professional way and that they possess the competences that are usually demonstrated through the elaboration and defense of arguments and the resolution of problems within their area of study
A3 That the students have the capability to gather and interpret relevant data (usually within their area of study) to issue judgments that include a reflection on relevant social, scientific or ethical issues
A4 That the students can transmit information, ideas, problems and solutions to a specialized and non-specialized audience
A5 That the students develop those learning capabilities necessary to undertake further studies with a high degree of autonomy.
