Learning aims

Learning outcomes	Study programme competences / results
Within the setting of globalization, where the relationships between Science, Technology and Society have a prominent role in international relations, the subject program is articulated in several thematic blocks. The first offers the conceptual framework through Science, Technology and Society analyzed in the international context of Hyperhistory, that is, the new historical stage that has opened with the massive use of the network of networks (with its layers of the Internet, the Web, and the cloud along with apps and mobile Internet). Through the second block, science is delved into, considered from an internal (epistemological, methodological, etc.) and external (social, cultural, etc.) perspective. With the third group of topics, attention turns to technology, studied both from the internal angle (as knowledge, tasks, etc.) and from the external angle (economic, social, etc.). In the fourth block the social dimension of science and technology is analyzed, seen from the international context of the knowledge society. This entails knowing the social dimension of the network of networks (with its three relevant layers) and the panorama opened by Artificial Intelligence.	A7 A8 A9 A10	B1 B2 B6 B7	C3 C8
