Training activities

Teaching methods

The course is divided into four sessions of three hours each, where the different contents will be dealt with and the resolution of practical case studies will be worked on.

Learning outcomes

Throughout the module, we will review the different programmes and instruments for training, information, advice, commercial promotion, financing and investment that ICEX, to a greater extent, and other bodies of the Central and Autonomous Administration offer for Spanish companies to go abroad.

Ultimately, students are expected to be aware of the full range of resources available to them when they join an internationally active private company.

Evaluation system

The evaluation of the course in its ordinary exam session is made up of:

60% Theoretical exercise consisting of a multiple-choice exam at the end of the module with questions on the contents taught.

40% Resolution of a practical case study on the subject taught in the different sessions of the module. The case study presented by the lecturer after the face-to-face sessions must be solved in groups and uploaded to the virtual campus on the date indicated by the lecturer.


(+/-)10%: Evaluation according to the participation of each student, both quantitative (number of interventions) and qualitative (timeliness and quality of interventions) during class sessions, as well as the attention paid in class and attitude towards classmates and teachers.

In the 2nd and subsequent exam sessions, the grade will depend on the test(s) (written test type, essay type, assignments, oral tests, etc.), which will be determined by the teachers and communicated to the students sufficiently in advance.
