Inter-university Master's Degree in Health Data Science - 2nd edition
Academic information
Online teaching organisation
The online teaching follows a model that includes synchronous and asynchronous activities, with a maximum of 30% synchronous activities per subject; e.g., in a subject of 3 ECTS credits, a maximum of 30% of the study load is synchronous.
Classes are organised over fifteen weeks, from Monday to Friday, between 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. (CET).
The online training uses Moodle, the university's Virtual Campus. It is an online learning environment adapted to the needs of e-learning models and allows for both synchronous and asynchronous activities.
For synchronous classes, the Microsoft Teams videoconferencing tool is used. Synchronous sessions are recorded and accessible from the Virtual Campus or Moodle.
Assessment
Assessment activities can be synchronous, and therefore may require participation in the corresponding class hours. Although it is not mandatory to attend 100% of synchronous classes, it is highly advisable to do so. It is necessary, therefore, to be flexible enough to take part in the synchronous classes that involve assessment.
Double qualification
Students will obtain an official Spanish master's degree issued by the URV with the endorsement of the eight participating universities, and a French diploma from the Université Grenoble Alpes.
External practices
Compulsory cross-organizational internship (15 ECTS).
Master's degree final project
Students will have the opportunity to study and complete their master's thesis (9 ECTS credits) in settings other than academia such as hospitals and the biopharmaceutical industry.
