In consequence, the Master in Photovoltaic Solar Energy must provide with training and skills development in this field at two different levels:

• At a first horizontal and multidisciplinary level, common for all the students, they will learn to:
  
  
  • Understand, analyze and judge the relevance of any contribution in the field, related to its social, energetic, scientific and technical environment.
    
    
• At a second level, specialized training must provide skills in at least one of the following aspects:
  
  
  • Knowledge, analysis and proposals of new concepts, methods or devices for photovoltaic conversion.
  • Implementation, development and innovation of technological processes for photovoltaic devices manufacture.
  • Design, analysis, characterization and manufacture of photovoltaic concentration optical elements and systems. 
  • Design, analysis, characterization, planning and set-up of photovoltaic components and systems, either for general or autonomous purpose, or grid-connected.

In order to achieve these objectives, the Master is structured in one 60 ECTS academic year.

The first level has a common mandatory basis of 16 ECTS. 12 ECTS more are also mandatory and correspond to the Master Thesis. The second level is based on the selection of a track out of two, depending on the future activity to be developed by the graduated student: Photovoltaic devices and Photovoltaic systems. 23 track-related ECTS are compulsory and additional 9 are elective subjects.

The personal curriculum followed by each student must be approved by the academic coordinator to guarantee the consistency of his/her selection.
