In the face-to-face programme, this link is also an integral part of your day-to-day life on campus. In both programmes, your course has a specific aim: to develop the skills needed to practise a profession.
The UAX FP methodology links knowledge with its professional application. You’ll work on scenarios relevant to your specialism, use industry tools and learn to tackle tasks with technical expertise and independence.
Apply what you’re studying to situations related to your profession. Analyse problems, propose solutions and understand the decisions required for each task.
Familiarise yourself with the software and tools used in your specialism through the activities on the course. Learn what they are used for and how to incorporate them into your work.
