Verification of the Bachelor’s Degree in Labour Relations and Human Resources

Horizontal and Vertical Teaching Coordination

The Coordinator of the Bachelor’s Degree in Labour Relations and Human Resources will ensure horizontal and vertical coordination throughout the four years of the program, as well as the coherence of the training offered by guaranteeing proper coordination between teaching staff and students. In particular, the Coordinator will ensure that there is no duplication in the contents of the different courses that make up this Degree and that a reasonable distribution of students’ workload is established, both within each semester of the academic year and across the different years of the program.

To achieve these objectives, interdisciplinary teaching teams will be created, composed of the lecturers teaching in the same year and group, and regular meetings of these teams will be convened. Likewise, frequent meetings with students will be held to gather their feedback on the degree of coordination achieved within the framework of the implementation of the new Degree.
