The project-based methodology allows students to relate the contents of the master's degree to the reality of the world around them and, above all, to their professional future, being the protagonist of their learning.
In addition, another important aspect of this methodology is that the exams are self-correcting, as well as the proposed activities, i.e., the faculty does not intervene with the student once he/she is taking the master's degree, but offers feedback on everything he/she receives in a predetermined way, allowing the student to see the proposal corrected by the teacher.
The subjects that make up the master have been distributed in modules and for each of them has been defined a project oriented to the practice of application of the contents linked to the reality of eSports.
