Applying Knowledge and Understanding

Upon completion of the course, students will have acquired the theoretical and technical-practical knowledge necessary to address, in a professional context, the topics covered in the course and, where necessary, to further develop their knowledge of these subjects.

 Making Judgements

The knowledge acquired and the various learning experiences, including the discussion of case studies and project work, will enable students to develop the critical tools and significant degree of autonomy in judgement required to identify the most appropriate solutions to the problems they are called upon to address.

 Communication Skills

Students will be able to use the technical language specific to the disciplines covered and to communicate problems and their solutions clearly and effectively, as well as to present their work with greater confidence in public.

 Learning Skills

Students will develop the ability to independently update their knowledge through the consultation of technical and scientific sources, legislation, regulations, and relevant sector-specific guidelines.

Attendance of lessons is mandatory (70%).
