Teaching method
The teaching methodologies are both theoretical and practical. First, there will be a theoretical presentation of the various contents, but always from practical cases and examples of dissertations and other scientific works. The assessment consists of two works of practical nature, in which students should apply the contents. One of the works is a possible chapter of the future dissertation and the second work will be the pre-project of the thesis (title, objectives, methodology, contents, bibliography and timeline).
