The teaching methodologie purpose is to follow the Bolonia´s model (continuous assesment). The theoretical knowledge acquired is perfeccioned and deepen in the reduced classes (Knowledge is knowledge). Interconnection is looked for between theory and practice. The tutorial regime will be that of the University. Teaching activities will be the usual of the theoretical and reduced classes, combining different teaching methods. To this effect, together with practical case method, other techniques could be used as the following: assisted readings, workshops, debates, films etc..
