This page lists the general goals for students to achieve during their training up until they obtain the degree; the degree provides comprehensive quality training through a study programme that builds the student's capabilities to carry out academic, research, and professional activities.

Competencies
Competencies are the identifiable and evaluable set of knowledge, attitudes, values, abilities and skills, related to each other, which will allow the student to exercise the professional activity according to the requirements and standards used in the corresponding occupational area.
All the master’s at the University of Almeria explicitly include two types of competencies:
- The generic competencies included in Royal Decree 1393/2007, of 29 October, which establishes the organization of official higher education.
- The specific degree competencies. These competencies are detailed in the degree’s report and are related to its particular subjects. Some of these competencies may have been agreed at the Andalusian regional level, or for certain degrees, they may be regulated at the state level.
