Profile and career opportinities

    Entry profile

    As this is a degree with a high instrumental content and a markedly multidisciplinary nature, it does not require a specific entry profile or advanced training in specific subjects, with the knowledge acquired in the baccalaureate, in any of its branches, being considered sufficient.

    However, it is important for students of the Bachelor's Degree in Information and Digital Content Management to have a series of attitudes and aptitudes that they will have to put into practice not only during their university studies but also in their future professional career. These include, among others, involvement in their training and lifelong learning in the face of constant changes in the field of study, intellectual curiosity, the ability to work in a team, a sense of responsibility and a critical attitude.
