Design
The undergraduate Business Statistics curriculum is comprised of 240 credits. These credits have been divided into four 60-credit academic years, each of which in turn is comprised of a fall and spring semester. In order to achieve the relevant learning objectives, the curriculum has been structured into six modules, in addition to a Final Degree Project.
The 6 modules are as follows:
1. Law addresses the full range of subject matter related to the main legal principles of law, focusing on commercial, labor, and tax law related to economic and business activities.
2. Economics and Business covers subject matter related to the analysis of the functional areas of business and their economic environment, as well as the analysis of the business's own economic and financial situation.
3. Statistics presents all subject matter relating to the statistical and optimization techniques necessary for strategic planning and decision-making in business management. This is, without a doubt, the most relevant of the six modules.
4. Mathematics handles subject matter related to the mathematical fundamentals necessary for implementing statistics and optimization techniques.
5. Computer Science brings together subject matter for the study and application of computer basics for information management at the company.
6. Transverse and Professional Competencies, which includes the elective courses, allows students to design the final portion of each's curriculum and enhance the acquired skills, by choosing between various electives offered by the Faculty of Social and Legal Sciences of Elche.
The program's electives are indicated in the Courses section, and part of the Transversal and Professional Competencies Module. This module can be completed either by taking these electives or by recognition for a series of activities such as in-house and external internships, language skills, taking UMH Continuing Education courses, professional work experience, attending University workshops and conferences, etc. For complete information regarding this recognition, click on the following link: http://estudios.umh.es/reconocimiento-creditos/grados/
