Learning Goals

It is intended that students participate in other activities, which are considered complementary to the thesis work and which contribute to develop other skills such as the ability to communicate, through the dissemination of results to the scientific, technical community and society in general, as well as the ability to integrate information and develop critical thinking and argumentation skills.

Teaching Methods

This course has the particularity of not being constituted by classic syllabus, but by a set of scientific activities and by learning objectives suitable for tutorial teaching, guiding the PhD student in the selection of complementary activities that at each moment best fit and that will be important in achieving learning objectives.

The principle of flexibility is applied, which allows the student to select the activities in which participate, with the due monitoring (opinion) of the supervisor(s) and the endorsement of the course commission. These activities can be carried out in mobility, which should be encouraged, in national and international institutions of recognized merit in the scientific area of the PhD.
