Subject matter

The specialty seminar has an unusual operation, because it results from the number of students enrolled in each specialty. The seminar tends to be a virtual structure, grouping tutorials in which the student is accompanied by the tutor or supervisor in charge of supervising the final work of the course with the doctoral project.The syllabus is defined case by case according to the thesis themes of each student.
