No special requirements

The teaching and learning methodologies envisaged include expository and inquisitive dynamics, as well as problem-solving, individually or
in groups. However, depending on the skills to be developed, special emphasis will be placed on active techniques in which students can
practice them: simulations, application exercises, reactions to case studies, or even visits to work contexts or interviews.
