With an interdisciplinary approach, the course uses analytical tools to understand complex social dynamics, especially as they relate to criminology in today's rapidly evolving world.

In this course, students gain the knowledge and the abilities needed for solving more difficult constructive solutions. Topics include the constructive invariants needed for developing constructive solutions with a higher complexity level, the common singular sections for the different constructive techniques considered out from the basic construction, and constructive solutions by using the current building regulations. The course includes a strong design approach and at the conclusion of the course, students design a building from the construction point of view. The course requires background knowledge in basic constructive systems, constructive materials, and technology. 

This course offers an introduction to civil law regulation in the tourism sector. It focuses on basic rules that regulate the different tourist and leisure activities, technical-legal terminology of the tourism sector, and interpretation of legal or contractual documents. 

This is the first course in the German Language B sequence for future translators. It is designed for students beginning with an A2 level of German, according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). The course focuses on developing language skills necessary for professional translation, laying the foundation for further study in German language and translation.

This course investigates key literary works from the 18th century to the present that mark turning points in English-language literature. Beginning with the emergence of the English novel and continuing through Romanticism, Gothic literature, Modernism, Postmodernism, and contemporary identity-driven and decolonial narratives, the course emphasizes how literature both reflects and shapes historical change. 

The course covers a wide variety of tourism typologies and the spaces they shape. Through the analysis of different tourism models—such as golf, nautical, nature, cultural, ski, and urban tourism—it explores how specific tourist practices develop around key resources and how they impact territories socially, economically, and environmentally.

In this course, students learn the planning, design, construction, and operation of highways, traffic networks and their related infrastructure. The course is divided into the following activities: lectures, recitations (design case studies), laboratory and computer practice sessions. Students use CAD/BIM professional software for highway design. Topics include specialized vocabulary and regulatory knowledge relevant to highway engineering; the core concepts, principles, and terminology in highway design and construction; the basic characteristics of road transport supply and demand, and the main actors involved. Students gain the ability and skills to analyze, quantify and correct the traffic states in rural and urban roads, as part of the usual techniques of Traffic Engineering; skills to design urban and rural road segments, specifically including geometric design, pavement design, connections and road junctions design; the fundamental characteristics of air transport and aircrafts for its use in airport infrastructure design; and develop critical analysis capabilities, conceptual scalability, and depth of understanding applicable to this Civil Engineering specialization.

The course combines both theoretical and practical approaches to visual perception and representation. It offers an introduction to the basic principles of visual and artistic language, including its elements, structure (syntax), and meaning (semantics). This course also focuses on how to teach visual arts in primary education.
