Learning Outcomes

This curricular unit aims to introduce students to the resources available for accessing bibliographic material and the process they have to follow to prepare and write their dissertation or internship report so that they can present it at the end of the academic year. This curricular unit often invites former students, teachers/researchers from other study cycles. The former are invited to present their difficulties and how they overcame them while working on their dissertation or internship report. The latter present their main lines of research and the opportunities for these to be extended to the health area. On completing this course, the master's student should have improved their methodological knowledge and research and analysis skills, which will help develop their dissertation/internship.
