Study programme competencies
Code Study programme competences
A6 CE05 - Ability to design and develop intelligent systems through the application of inference algorithms, knowledge representation and automated planning
A7 CE06 - Ability to recognise those problems that require a distributed architecture, not predetermined during the system design, suitable for the implementation of multiagent systems
A8 CE07 - Ability to understand the consequences of the development of an explainable and interpretable intelligent system
A9 CE08 - Ability to design and develop secure intelligent systems, in terms of integrity, confidentiality and robustness
B1 CG01 - Maintaining and extending theoretical foundations to allow the introduction and exploitation of new and advanced technologies in the field of AI
B2 CG02 - Successfully addressing each and every stage of an AI project
B3 CG03 - Searching and selecting that useful information required to solve complex problems, with a confident handling of bibliographical sources in the field
B6 CB01 - Acquiring and understanding knowledge that provides a basis or opportunity to be original in the development and/or application of ideas, frequently in a research context
B7 CB02 - The students will be able to apply the acquired knowledge and to use their capacity of solving problems in new or poorly explored environments inside wider (or multidisciplinary) contexts related to their field of study
B8 CB03 - The students will be able to integrate different pieces of knowledge, to face the complexity of formulating opinions (from information that may be incomplete or limited) and to include considerations about social and ethical responsibilities linked to the application of their knowledge and opinions
B9 CB04 - The students will be able to communicate their conclusions, their premises and their ultimate justifications, both to specialised and non-specialised audiences, using a clear style language, free from ambiguities
C2 CT02 - Command in understanding and expression, both in oral and written forms, of a foreign language
C3 CT03 - Use of the basic tools of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) required for the student's professional practice and learning along her life
C4 CT04 - Acquiring a personal development for practicing a citizenship under observation of the democratic culture, the human rights and the gender perspective
C5 CT05 - Understanding the importance of the entrepreneurial culture and knowledge of the resources within the entrepreneur person's means

C7 CT07 - Developing the ability to work in interdisciplinary or cross-disciplinary teams to provide proposal that contribute to a sustainable environmental, economic, political and social development
C8 CT08 - Appreciating the importance of research, innovation and technological development in the socioeconomic and cultural progress of society
