| A8 | Coñecemento dos elementos de oceanografía física (ondas, correntes, mareas, etc.) necesarios para a análise do comportamento das estruturas oceánicas, e dos elementos das oceanografías química e biolóxica que deben ser tidos en conta para a seguridade marítima e para o tratamento da contaminación, e do impacto ambiental producido polos buques e artefactos mariños. |
| B2 | Que os estudantes saiban aplicar os coñecementos adquiridos e a súa capacidade de resolución de problemas en ámbitos novos ou pouco coñecidos dentro de contextos máis amplos (ou multidisciplinares) relacionados coa súa área de estudo |
| B3 | Que os estudantes sexan capaces de integrar coñecementos e enfrontarse á complexidade de formular xuízos a partir dunha información que, sendo incompleta ou limitada, inclúa reflexións sobre as responsabilidades sociais e éticas vinculadas á aplicación dos seus coñecementos e xuízos |
| B4 | Que os estudantes saiban comunicar as súas conclusións e os coñecementos e razóns últimas que as sustentan a públicos especializados e non especializados dun modo claro e sen ambigüidades. |
| B5 | Que os estudantes posúan as habilidades de aprendizaxe que lles permitan continuar estudando dun modo que haberá de ser en boa medida autodirixido ou autónomo. |
| B6 | Ser capaz de realizar unha análise crítica, avaliación e síntese de ideas novas e complexas. |
| B7 | Falar ben en público |
| C1 | Utilizar as ferramentas básicas das tecnoloxías da información e as comunicacións (TIC) necesarias para o exercicio da súa profesión e para a aprendizaxe ao longo da súa vida. |
