All of the transferable and subject-specific competences of the degree qualification are reinforced in the optional credits but mainly provided in subject areas (referred to as ‘matèries’), which each contain a series of subjects to be studied (referred to as ‘assignatures’), and in this particular case in the degree course’s basic training subject areas and compulsory subject areas. The teaching-learning method is based on different types of activities that are devised to ensure optimal skills acquisition. The educational activities that are carried out to obtain competences associated with basic training and compulsory subject areas are distributed as follows:
- Theory (lectures): 21.5%
- Theory and practice (problem-based lectures): 7%
- Supervised work: 13.5% (approximately half of this work consists of problem-solving workshops; the rest is distance work)
- Laboratory or computer practicals: 6%
- Field trips: 1%
- Independent work: 51%
