{{pre.error[0].message}}
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.
Basic, General and Cross-Curricular Competencies
The basic competencies for all master’s degrees were defined in R.D. 1393/2007 of 29 October. They will be progressively adapted and as established by the current R.D. 822/2021 of 28 September, which establishes the organization of university education and the quality assurance procedure.
