The innovative teaching methods adopted in this programme seek to involve students actively and collaboratively in learning, albeit with the same effectiveness as traditional lessons. Active learning, unlike passive learning, means that students are in charge of their own learning, which will be achieved through meaningful activities that promote both a deeper understanding of the topics and the students’ soft skills. The tables below list, per each specialist track, the courses that involve laboratory activities and give their main contents.
