Nota: Un ECTS son 25 horas de trabajo para el estudiante. De ellas, se estima que en la mayoría de los casos 7,5 horas (el 30%) correspondan a trabajo presencial en el aula con el profesor (teoría o práctica) y 17,5 (el 70%) correspondan a trabajo autónomo o semipresencial, individual o en grupo. Una asignatura de 6 ECTS supone para el alumno una docencia presencial de 45 horas (6.75), que repartidas entre las 15 semanas de que consta un semestre da lugar a 3 horas presenciales por semana en aula (sumando teoría y práctica), sin incluir las horas de exámenes, tutorías obligatorias (individuales o colectivas) y evaluación.

Las tutorías incluyen las siguientes actividades:

- Tutorías voluntarias u obligatorias, individuales o colectivas en el despacho (mínimo 50% del total)

- Atención en campus virtual o en Internet

- Dirección y seguimiento (individuales o grupales) de tareas del estudiante
