Curriculum Vitae: Full Profile
[CB6 ]. To possess and understand knowledge that provides a basis or opportunity to be original in the development and / or application of ideas, often in a research context.
[CG1 ]. To learn about the field of study in which agricultural and food research and development are developed and the research skills and methods related to such field.
[CG4 ]. To be able to perform a critical analysis, and an evaluation and synthesis analysis of new and complex ideas in the agri-food sector.
[CE1 ]. To synthesize previous knowledge together with newly acquired knowledge in the matter, so as to be able to cope in agri-food contexts in which there is little specific information.
[CE3 ]. To show a certain degree of scientific and technical training to start a research activity in the field of agri-food.
[CE4 ]. To show a certain degree of understanding of the concepts, principles and theories related to the chosen subjects of the master's program.
Competencias específicas de la asignatura: 1. Interpretar, discutir críticamente y transmitir oralmente artículos de investigación sobre el tema. 2.

There is no laboratory practices in this course
Promoting the continuous improvement of working and study conditions of the entire university community is one the basic principles and goals of the Universidad Politécnica de Cartagena. Such commitment to prevention and the responsibilities arising from it concern all realms of the university: governing bodies, management team, teaching and research staff, administrative and service staff and students. The UPCT Service of Occupational Hazards (Servicio de Prevención de Riesgos Laborales de la UPCT) has published a "Risk Prevention Manual for new students" (Manual de acogida al estudiante en materia de prevención de riesgos), which may be downloaded from the e-learning platform ("Aula Virtual"), with instructions and recommendations on how to act properly, from the point of view of prevention (safety, ergonomics, etc.), when developing any type of activity at the University. You will also find recommendations on how to proceed in an emergency or if an incident occurs. Particularly when carrying out training practices in laboratories, workshops or field work, you must follow all your teacher's instructions, because he/she is the person responsible for your safety and health during practice performance. Feel free to ask any questions you may have and do not put your safety or that of your classmates at risk.
