How is the methodology of the Bachelor's Degree in Digital Business and Innovation in tourism?

The Degree in Digital Business and Innovation in Tourism incorporates new content focused on digital tourism and oriented to entrepreneurial or intrapreneurial projects.

Assesment

You can choose between two types of assessment:

• Continuous assessment: consists of the assessment of the teaching-learning process through constant monitoring of the work done by the student and the learning he/she incorporates throughout the year.
• Single assessment: aimed at all those students who, for justified reasons, cannot regularly attend face-to-face classes. We assess the students' learning process, taking into account the assignments designed for this purpose, which can be carried out during the semester or at the end of it, as specified in each case.
