Experience: Master's courses for non-enrolled students.
In this edition of the Master, it starts a new experience: we offer participation in certain subjects to some not-enrolled students that will have no cost for those included in the pilot. Our aim on one hand is to give access to some of the teachings to students interested in it, but not enrolled for various reasons and, on the other hand, to experiment with new learning mechanisms based on guided collaboration between students.
