In the 2nd year, functioning in tutoring regime, and with the knowledge and competencies acquired in the 1st year, the students will explore a theme within the specific scope of museology related with the existing research in the Institution, They innovatively contribute to the knowledge in the museology field, and from a personal point of view, they acquire the ability to autonomously develop research projects. Measurement of the degree of achievement The achievement of the objectives and the understanding of the acquired competencies are measured by an ongoing follow-up of students and information transmitted by the teachers when they participate in training modules. Without eliminating some specificity that is required and adjusted to the specific needs of the themes, the final assessment is transversal to the curricular units and it adequately enables the understanding of the specific competencies of each student. It also enables the individual process based on the student¿s research interest and it ensures the entire identification and exploration of the themes addressed during the training.
