Organization and methodology

General information

Teaching is structured by semesters, and, in general, subjects are organized into face-to-face activities, guided work activities, and autonomous work activities.

Face-to-face sessions consist of lectures given by the professor and discussions with students about the subject’s content and the issues arising from its theoretical conception and practical application. Guided activities aim to develop students’ work and review their progress.

The Teaching Plan for each subject is the document that outlines the content, teaching and learning methodologies, and assessment systems. In general, the teaching methodologies used in the degree include lectures, presentations, conferences, group work, written assignments, information research, case studies, practical exercises, applied activities, problem-solving, project development, simulations, and external internships.

Class schedules are published before the start of the academic year. First- and second-year classes take place in the Faculty of Economics and Business at UB in the morning, while third- and fourth-year classes are held in the Faculty of Mathematics and Statistics at UPC in the afternoon.

Final work

The Statistics Final Degree Project (TFG) is worth 18 credits, and the Economics TFG is worth 6 credits. Since TFGs cannot be recognized in any case, students in this double degree program must enroll in a total of 24 credits of TFG.

The student must enroll in the TFG for each of the two degrees, as this subject cannot be recognized. However, they will only complete a single joint project, worth 24 credits, ensuring that the competencies assigned to the TFGs of both degrees are achieved.
