The Skill Up For The Future program presents a new structure for the year 2024-2025, replacing the Up Skill Sessions and Up Skill Week of the year 2023-2024.
The program now includes 12 CUs that include various transversal competences whose acquisition has been identified as fundamental for the education of Bachelor students.
The various courses will take place over the 3 years of the degree. In each semester, 2 courses are offered. The duration of each module varies according to the content, but cannot exceed 6 weeks with 90-minute sessions. The 2 modules per semester correspond to 1 ECTS, and each module to 0.5 ECTS. Therefore, to obtain 6 credits, students who choose this course will have to complete the 12 CUs in 3 years.
In 2024/2025 all modules will be lecture in Portuguese.
Assessment is qualitative only and takes place at the end of each module. Teaching responsibilities are distributed among several teachers and external facilitators.
