Food Security

Methodologies for face-to-face and distance learning will be used, starting with the Moodle Distance Learning Platform and other possible information technologies that are necessary to carry out the educational process. The complementarity of teaching methodologies used is intended to reduce any difficulties in the participation of students from different geographical origins (obtaining visas and others) and will allow an individualized service offering to the students mechanisms of participation and attendance of distance and face-to-face tutoring.

Teaching methodologies that focus on learning, group work and critical thinking will be promoted.
