Ideal student profile
In order to take this master's degree candidates must have a background in technological or experimental sciences, especially telecommunications, and level B1 in English, according to the Council of Europe's Common European Framework of Reference for Modern Languages).
Basic skills
-
Use acquired knowledge as a basis for originality in the application of ideas, often in a research context.
-
Solve problems in new or little-known situations within broader (or multidisciplinary) contexts related to the field of study.
-
Integrate knowledge and use it to make judgements in complex situations, with incomplete information, while keeping in mind social and ethical responsibilities.
-
Communicate and justify conclusions clearly and unambiguously to both specialised and non-specialised audiences.
-
Continue the learning process, to a large extent autonomously
