  • The CU of Financial Investment and Markets aims to provide students with knowledge that allows students to know and understand the functioning and usefulness of different financial markets. In addition to covering introductory and transversal aspects of all financial markets, the functioning of the money market and the capital market is studied in some depth. The CU ends by addressing the most recent trends in financial markets, namely their digitalization, socially responsible investments and, finally, alternative investments such as cryptoassets, tokens, etc.

  • This Curricular Unit has 3 components: one theoretical and one practical. Classes will begin by addressing the definitions and theoretical concepts of the topics. These will later be applied in the practical execution of worksheets, using the techniques learned with specific software. Group work will be encouraged, with presentations to other members of the class. Curriculum Assessment: Practical work in class: 30% Practical group project (Project and Report): 70% Final Assessment: Global Assessment Test (TAG) - practical in the laboratory: 100%; All students who have not successfully completed the assessment may take a final theoretical-practical exam during the assessment period defined by the institution.
  • Mandatory
  • The curricular unit is intended for the student to learn the fundamentals on the following subjects: media and multimedia; digitization; compression; color and color coding; digital imaging; digital image compression; digital sound; digital video. At the end of the curricular unit, the student should be able to understand and explain the fundamentals of the processes involved in the computer representation of multimedia elements such as texts, images, sound, and video, as well as develop audiovisual projects with the concepts and techniques learned. In the context of learning social skills, it is intended to strengthen the capacities and attitudes of accountability and solidarity in the realization of group work projects.

  • 1. Active Learning: Students are encouraged to actively participate in the learning process. This can include group discussions, problem solving, case studies and practical activities that promote active student participation. 2. Project-Based Learning (PBL): Students work on complex projects that involve solving real-world problems. These projects promote problem-solving, collaboration and critical thinking skills. 3. Problem-Based Learning (PBL): Similar to PBL, students are presented with a real-world problem and are encouraged to find solutions through research and collaboration. The focus is on problem-solving and developing critical thinking. 4. Microlearning: Breaks down content into small units that are easier to digest.

  • Interaction Design is the area of Design whose main objective is to improve the relationship between the user and the object/product, through the study, planning and application of interaction, in physical and digital systems. The applications of Interaction Design are varied, and act both at the physical, cognitive and emotional levels of the user's experience with the product. Knowledge of the principles of interaction and their application to the development of different supports allows students to create functional, appealing and understandable systems for the user.
