This course discusses theories and concepts relevant to analyzing the current media system, as well as classical and contemporary contributions to the field. Topics include: from hypodermic theory to the Lasswell paradigm; mass communication research; two-step communication theory; uses and gratifications theory; the Frankfurt School; French structuralism; cultural studies; the Toronto School and new technologies; the long tail theory; agenda-setting theory; theory of the spiral of silence; framing theory. 

Pre-requisites: Media Theory course

This course offers a study of the Spanish financial system, institutions, and markets. It is divided into two blocks: Block 1: The financial system and the role of credit institutions and their supervisors. The role of credit institutions in economic development. Block 2: The role of financial systems, their functions, and specific characteristics. 

The course develops linguistic and educational skills for teaching English language and literature in early childhood settings. It focuses on key theories of early language learning and the tools to create engaging, age-appropriate, and inclusive learning experiences.

This course offers a study of aircraft propellers and turboprop engines including internal aerodynamics, propulsion theory, aircraft and Aerojet performance, as well as propulsion systems engineering, mechanics, and thermodynamics. 

Pre-requisites: Fluid Mechanics II; Thermal Engineering; Aerodynamics; Aerospace Propulsion I 

This course examines the material remains of medieval and post-medieval societies through archaeological evidence, focusing on how these vestiges contribute to our understanding of historical processes. It emphasizes the management, conservation, and communication of post-classical heritage and explores archaeology’s role in current historical debates.

This course explores the structure, dynamics, and challenges of cities in Spain, Europe, and beyond. It discusses urbanization trends, growth models, and key indicators used to study urban systems. This course also examines contemporary issues in Spanish and European cities such as sustainability, mobility, gentrification, and smart city development while analyzing data sources and case studies to understand how cities evolve and adapt to social, economic, and environmental change. 

This course examines the technological properties and behavior models of concrete, steel rebars and steel tendons, both individually and globally, to resist mechanical and chemical actions. Students learn to understand and apply the European standard (EUROCODE 2, EN-1992) for the design and construction of reinforced and prestressed concrete structures. Additional topics include the different structural analysis methods for concrete structures according to European standard, competence in the project, design construction and maintenance of reinforced concrete structures of moderate complexity, and the behavior and design of statically determinate prestressed concrete members with pre-tensioned tendons, and of the materials and construction systems involved. This course requires students to have prerequisites and background knowledge.

The course explores in-depth agile software development, covering not just how to use frameworks like Scrum, but why agile software works. Students practice managing real-world software projects that need to adapt quickly to change, while keeping the team focused on delivering value to users.  This course offers hands-on experience with agile tools, frameworks, and programming environments that support fast, flexible, and iterative development. 

Students are expected to have prior experience with software design, development, and testing.

This course offers a study of image formation and how contrast, resolution, and signal to noise ratio affects image quality, including the quantitative information it may deliver and its interpretation. It explores the main aspects of imaging (resolution, contrast, and quantification) within different imaging modalities, either currently used in medical imaging or under development for future implementation. This course discusses which imaging modalities are more appropriate for a specific instance and why, based on what each imaging approach can deliver in terms of sensitivity, resolution, and quantitation.

Pre-requisites: Physics I and II. It is also very beneficial (not mandatory) to have taken Differential equations and Numerical Methods in Biomedicine 

This course discusses the foundations and principles of innovation in the digital age, the digital product development lifecycle, and the importance of agile teams and roles involved in developing an innovative digital product. It explores the methods and techniques for designing a value proposition for customers, methods and techniques for the design, development, management, and validation of digital products, as well as the technologies for working as agile teams.
