Those specific to admission to the master's degree and understanding of written technical English.
This module is considered as advanced training in research methodologies focused on fields related to health sciences, further exploring some specific aspects of special relevance that were taught superficially in the introductory module of basic methodology. This master's degree is adapted to the educational and methodological proposals of the European Higher Education Area. The structure of this master's degree is adapted to that established in the Spanish Royal Decree 1393/2007, on official university education in Spain, and has a favourable verification report from the Spanish National Agency for Quality Assessment and Accreditation (ANECA).
It is addressed at university graduates of disciplines related to people’s health from different perspectives.
The objectives of the module are:
This module will explore different types of clinical research study (designs) applied to health field problems, and will look at the key aspects of its design and main sources of bias, the analysis and interpretation of results, and the aspects that should be considered to apply the results to specific patients or contexts. The module will also explore the acquisition of necessary skills for its application.

The module includes of a set of 24 sessions on the topics specified in the previous section. On-site lessons will include basic specific bibliographic references provided to the students in each session. Additionally, in some selected sessions, students will be encouraged to conduct an individual ('deliverable') practice papers from a suggested piece of literature or material. These papers are intended to assess the degree of understanding of methodological or practical aspects considered essential to guarantee the students’ competence to successfully complete a doctoral thesis project in Health Sciences.
Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.
