The Master is made up of 11 subjects or didactic units that are accessed progressively, depending on how the previous one is passed. Near the end of the Master there will be a 10-hour face-to-face session, divided into two days, with a morning session and an afternoon session, to update the Teaching Units. The duration is 12 months and mostly in online format that allows the student to organize himself properly to develop the Master at the pace that best suits his possibilities. The student will have access to the course material by means of a key.
Evaluation
The theoretical and practical knowledge acquired by the student through continuous assessment will be considered. Students will be monitored throughout the year, assessing active participation in tutorials and discussion forums. As a complement, a written test will be carried out at the end of each of the twelve didactic units to assess the level of assimilation of the knowledge acquired.
Tutoring
There will be coordinators for each Didactic Unit-Module (11 coordinators, 1 coordinator for each subject) who will be responsible, together with the Master's Direction, for reviewing and assessing the documentation of each subject attached by the teachers, as well as the test-type evaluation questions. These Coordinators will tutor the students of their corresponding module and will lead the discussion forum of the Didactic Units belonging to each module. The student must download the topics of each Didactic Unit, study them, assess them, criticize them and solve questions with their tutor. Discussion forums will be held in order to reinforce knowledge.
