Nursing professionals, who work within multidisciplinary teams, help individuals find health harmony, and to maintain it, through the care or information they provide to patients, their family or the community.

Nursing professionals are guided by the humanistic principle of respecting the values, culture and religion of those they care for.

The School of Health nursing course awards graduates with a 4-year academic degree worth 240 credits.

HAND THERAPY/ UPPER LIMB RE-EDUCATION GENERAL OBJECTIVES OF THIS POSTGRADUATE COURSE The Postgraduate Course in Hand Therapy/Upper Limb Re-education is a specialised training course geared towards the functional re-education of the upper limb, with a strong theoretical-practical component in the area of Health Sciences. The course is run in partnership with the Portuguese Association of Hand Therapy (APTM) and is aimed at Occupational Therapists and Physiotherapists.

It aims to develop specific skills geared towards the clinical management of upper limb dysfunctions (whether neuromuscular, orthopaedic or traumatological, pre- or post-surgical, tendon or nerve-related, rheumatological or caused by burns), using clinical reasoning models compatible with the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF).

78

The course was founded and continues to run based on the belief that continuing education is both an ethical choice and a requirement for professionals to conduct excellent clinical practice. As such, it aims to teach students about the structural and functional complexity of the upper limb, as well as covering the rapid technological and scientific advances taking place in the area of rehabilitation, including, among others, the design and development of new biomaterials and technologies that reconfigure the body and its relationship with the world. Thus, the development of advanced level specialised skills for upper limb re-education is particularly topical and essential.

This proposal addresses advanced training needs in the field of functional upper limb re-education.

SPECIAL EDUCATION

SPECIALISING IN COGNITIVE AND MOTOR DEVELOPMENT One of the guiding features that both charges and justifies the study plan of this course is closely correlated with a solution being found to the problem posed by Special Educational Needs and Special Education. This solution is based on a humanist approach, reflecting a historically recent position adopted that rejects the practices of excluding and segregating more vulnerable members of our society, among which are people with disabilities.

The educational system is responsible for contributing to the democratisation of society in a variety of dimensions, one of the most relevant of which is ensuring every member of society is guaranteed access to equal opportunities.

GENERAL OBJECTIVES The objectives established for this course have been drawn up based on the specialised training required for special education provided for by Joint Order No. 198/99, of the 15th February, which calls for skills to be developed in four dimensions: critical analysis; intervention; training, supervision and evaluation; consultancy.

As such, this course aims to provide future professionals with the type of training that will enable them to: Understand the issue of Special Education and the educational and social inclusion of children/young people with cognitive and/or motor limitations;

Apply practical and theoretical knowledge in order to identify, plan, assess and take action with these children/young people; Encourage the social and educational inclusion of these children/young people through collaborative work conducted with their families and other educational agents and agents within the community; Develop a reflective and investigative attitude in their work.

TEACHING METHODOLOGIES Educational research on training processes has long demonstrated the importance of using active methodologies that encourage student involvement and contribute to an individual construction path, which is then supported by mediation and group reflection.

The aforementioned processes apply to any level of education, which means they are even more justifiably applied to a Master's degree, which aims to develop multiple skills in students, the most fundamental of which will undoubtedly be those related to a rigorous, well-founded, productive thinking method that grants participants the ability to solve problems, innovate and establish a wide range of relationships between the various elements found in any situation they analyse.

Using dynamic, diversified strategies, this course seeks to encourage permanent critical reflection, providing students with a sense of restlessness and curiosity.

As such, it aims to contributing to them developing personal, social and professional approaches guided by rigour, ethics, a sense of responsibility and creativity.

INTERNET OF THINGS The maturation of information technologies, data communication networks (of which the Internet must be noted, in particular) and electronic and computational devices resulted in a convergent process that gave rise to the concept of "Internet of Things” (IoT). The definition is clear: "The Internet of Things is the network of physical objects embedded in electronic devices, applications, sensors, actuators and data communication that allows these objects to gather information and carry out their exchange." More specifically, the Internet of Things arises from sensors and electronic devices being associated with all types of objects, communicating with them in order to take advantage of the information collected, using all the cloud resources available, the Internet and mobile devices. Graduates of the Master's in the Internet of Things will be able to create new, innovative solutions to existing problems, working within multidisciplinary teams.

OBJECTIVES AND METHODOLOGIES This Master's course aims to train professionals who have not only gained classic knowledge of

110

Computer Engineering (programming, databases, Internet, operating systems, communication networks, mobile communications) but also the knowledge required to create and programme software-hardware systems and their integration and communication. The graduates will be engineering professionals trained to work with specialists in different fields relating to a specific problem, who are able to build computer systems using hardware and software components applicable to different areas, including health and well-being, education, agriculture and tourism, smart homes and smart cities. As such, they will be able to apply a specific set of specialised computer knowledge, learned from a high-growth area, to problems in areas of local, regional, national and international relevance.

MASTER'S DEGREE

SOCIAL WORK

SOCIAL RISKS AND LOCAL DEVELOPMENT GRADUATE PROFILE This Master's in Social Work – Social Risks and Local Development provides students with the means necessary to develop a set of advanced theoretical, technical and methodological skills, thus qualifying them to carry out more effective work in various fields, particularly when working with risk groups and those involved in local development, thus responding to a set of needs that have been previously diagnosed alongside professionals who operate at the Polytechnic Institute of Beja.

The objective is that graduates of this Master's programme are able to cultivate a professional and scientific profile based on critical analysis, through research skills and innovative social interventions, in organisational contexts and within their local areas, aiming to encourage integrated local development as a process implemented to ease cohesion and social sustainability.

In terms of employability, this Master's programme is particularly effective in providing graduates with strong research/training skills, as well as those related to technical coordination and carrying out operations with the general public, private and social solidarity organisations, as well as more expansive training in planning, intervention and evaluation. This Master's programme will therefore provide graduates with a considerable 114

range of skills with which to carry out relevant roles in areas such as social planning; social advice; social mediation; interventions with children, young people and the elderly who may be vulnerable or at risk; local development; social sustainability of communities; socio-organisational management of equipment, responses and social institutions, among others.

CONDITIONS FOR ADMISSION 1. Hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Social Work or a legal equivalent related to Social Work (in Portugal) or in another area related to social risks and local development.

2. Hold a foreign higher education degree that is recognised as such in Portugal, in the area of Social Work or in any other area related to social risks and local development.

3. Criteria used to select candidates: grade obtained in degree or legal equivalent; extent to which the subject of the degree complies with this course programme; the applicant's academic, scientific and professional profile; other elements considered relevant by the jury.
