At its core, this programme aims to promote learning oriented towards the practice of Research and Development (R&D), supporting and contributing to students’ acquisition of integrated research skills. This learning happens in an environment of intensive knowledge production in which collaborative projects are developed on national and international scales with other higher education institutions, Associate Laboratories and other public research units, including bodies within Public Administration that pursue R&D projects and private non-profit institutions that have R&D as one of their main goals. A primary component of this programme is training in social research methods; to this end, the study plan combines curricular units in qualitative methods and quantitative methods, strengthening students’ apprehension and mastery of mixed methods along with other techniques of a more theoretical character that provide further capacity for the practice of knowledge-making.
