They have explained what their work consists of, what projects, and what actions they develop and their relationship with the learning and experiences in the Degree, and how they have arrived to where they are. They have highlighted the importance of studies, but also the value of having a teaching staff, professionals from the sector, who have advised them, and with the extracurricular activities promoted by the Degree. They have encouraged students to identify their motivations and persevere, to develop a network based on trust, to be proactive and receptive to opportunities, and to continue learning in their field of specialization.
