Methodology
The program is based on active participation methodologies.
One of the central elements of the program is the Final Postgraduate Project (TFP), which is worked on throughout the course in a transversal manner. It is divided into monthly goals to guarantee the follow-up of each aspect and promotes peer feedback.
01.
Participatory methodology
At the end of each module, you will have to provide your personal and critical summary of the main learnings, both in the sessions and in the cases presented. These analyses will be shared through various techniques.
02.
Postgraduate Final Project
It is an individual project of digital transformation that will be followed throughout the course by a mentor. The project will have to be real and needs to be presented to actors with the capacity to execute it. The work will become part of your professional portfolio.
03.
Personalised support
The Graduate Management will assign you a mentor according to the characteristics of your Final Project. The mentor will act as a guide and will challenge your thinking and ideas. He/she will also help you identify teachers, projects, companies and reference activities to contrast and enrich your project against.
Evaluation
Continuous evaluation: 60%
Project evaluation: 40%
Tools
The On-Campus&Live methodology allows you to follow the program in person and also remotely.
In this modality, two stable subgroups are opened that will coexist throughout the course: one face-to-face and the other with 100% remote students. The remote students (a maximum of 15 places per course) will follow the program in a synchronous way with the face-to-face students. That is, they will share the same school calendar and schedule as the face-to-face students.
Project-oriented learning and the combination of lectures and active methodologies such as case studies, flipped learning, solving real problems, and professional simulations allow the student to connect theory and practice, acquire advanced skills, and achieve learning which is transferable to the job. The face-to-face modality is enriched with elements of online programs (virtual learning environment, multimedia resources, among others) so that the learning experience of the two subgroups is equally satisfactory.
You will have:
- Master's or postgraduate work to learn by doing
- A personal mentor to monitor your Master's Final Project (TFM) or Postgraduate Final Project (TFP)
- Digital resources to achieve transversal skills
- Interdisciplinary activities and workshops
- Digital resources and audiovisual blocks for online learning
- Active methodologies for transferable learning
