Specific Competition
CE6 - Understand the structure of matter being able to solve problems related to the interaction between matter and radiation in different energy ranges
CE7 - Know how to find solutions to specific astrophysical problems by themselves using specific bibliography with minimal supervision. Know how to function independently in a novel research project
CE11 - Know how to use current astrophysical instrumentation (both in terrestrial and space observatories) especially that which uses the most innovative technology and know the fundamentals of the technology used
General Competencies
CG2 - Understand the technologies associated with observation in Astrophysics and instrumentation design
CG3 - Analyze a problem, study the possible published solutions and propose new solutions or lines of attack
CG4 - Evaluate the orders of magnitude and develop a clear perception of physically different situations that show analogies allowing the use, to new problems, of synergies and known solutions
Basic skills
CB6 - Possess and understand knowledge that provides a basis or opportunity to be original in the development and/or application of ideas, often in a research context
CB7 - That students know how to apply the knowledge acquired and their ability to solve problems in new or little-known environments within broader contexts
CB10 - That students possess the learning skills that allow them to continue studying in a way that will be largely self-directed or autonomous
Exclusive to the Structure of Matter Specialty
CX15 - Understand the state of degenerated systems and systems far from equilibrium
CX16 - Understand the mechanisms of electromagnetic wave propagation and the dynamics of charged particles
