Methodology

Con nuestra metodología de aprendizaje online, el alumno comienza su andadura con nosotros a través de un campus virtual diseñado exclusivamente para desarrollar el itinerario formativo con el objetivo de mejorar su perfil profesional. Las horas de teleformación realizadas en el Campus Virtual se complementan con el trabajo autónomo del alumno, la comunicación con el docente, las actividades y lecturas complementarias y la labor de investigación. El Proyecto Fin de Máster se realiza tras finalizar el contenido teórico-práctico en el Campus que será calificado con una puntuación entre 0-6 puntos. Finalmente tendrán que realizar un examen oficial de forma presencial en español de cada una de las asignaturas del máster, pudiendo realizarse en la sedes de Madrid o Bogotá o en cualquiera de las sedes de la Cámara de Comercio con la que la Universidad tiene un convenio para la realización de las evaluaciones presenciales. Actualmente estos exámenes se están realizando de forma online excepcionalmente por la situación de Covid.
