Learning aims
Learning outcomes Study programme competences
The student will do an experimental work integrated into a research group or, alternatively, will undertake a personal research project; in both cases under the direction of a doctor. The personal research work is not just a literature review, but implies the development of a project. The work will be written and then exposed and defended in public session.
