Operations within the company are the backbone to transform different types of resources into products and services and are also present in all business functions.

The classroom (physical or virtual) is a safe space, free of sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic and discriminatory attitudes, either towards students or teachers.

To successfully pass the subject, EF must be equal to or greater than 5 out of 10 and NF equal to or greater than 5 out of 10. In the event that any of the above conditions are not met, the student may exercise his right of recovery. .
