Learning outcomes |
The curricular unit of Methodologies and Research Techniques aims to exercise the necessary skills to outline a research project, with a view to the progressive autonomy of doctoral students, as Designers and Design researchers. To this end, rigor, critical sense, discursive assertiveness, expositive capacity and academic ethics will be promoted through the understanding and application of relevant research methodologies and techniques in the field of Design and other design, performing and interactive, whether it is theoretical research, with Design as an object, or a practical basis, with Design as the beginning and end of knowledge.
