The set of knowledge, skills and attitudes acquired and developed during the course of study are also referred to as learning outcomes.
Graduates in Telecommunication Technologies Engineering at the University of Vigo acquire the general and specific competences outlined in Order CIN/352/2009 of February 9, which establishes the requirements for the verification of official university degrees that qualify for the regulated profession of Technical Telecommunication Engineer.
To obtain the degree, students must complete only one of the four technological modules included in the proposed degree program. Therefore, learning outcomes RA21 to RA47 are not acquired by all students. The breakdown is as follows:
- Students specializing in Telecommunication Systems will acquire learning outcomes RA21 to RA26.
- Those specializing in Electronic Systems will acquire outcomes RA39 to RA47.
- Those specializing in Telematics will acquire outcomes RA27 to RA33.
- Those specializing in Sound and Image will acquire outcomes RA34 to RA38.
