Asynchronous online classes and the Moodle classrooms at the UAB.

The course is structured into 6 modules, with a total of 30 ECTS, to be taken in two years. Modules 1, 2 and 3 are taken in the first year, and 4, 5 and 6 in the second. The class schedule can be viewed at this link.

Each module is divided into several subjects, which in most cases are taught by different lecturers. The syllabus can be viewed at this link.

The deadline for delivery of the graduate degree final project, which is module 6, is 6 months after the end of classes. For this project, each student will be assigned to a tutor, who will monitor and assess their progress.
