The study plan for this master's degree offers several advantages to students. Among the strengths of this new version of the master's degree are:
- New modules designed taking into account the first batch of new students from the university's bachelor's degree programmes
- Elimination of itineraries and specialisations
- Removal of overlaps with modules of other master's degrees
- Lectures in English
- Theory concentrated in the first semester, which means that the second semester is totally free for work on the research paper. This allows study periods that can be spent outside the UAB's area of influence.
