  • have competences typically demonstrated by developing and supporting arguments and solving problems within their field of knowledge
  • communicate information, ideas, problems and solutions to both specialist and non-specialist public
  • develop knowledge acquisition skills needed to continue to post graduate studies with a high degree of autonomy
  • gather and interpret relevant data (in their knowledge field) to form judgments that include reflection on relevant scientific issues
  • be able to use their knowledge, understanding and ability to solve problems in new or unfamiliar environment within broader (or multidisciplinary) context, related to their field
