Frequent questions
In principle, anyone interested in Microbiology can take the SEM Courses online, although obviously to follow them you must have certain minimum notions of Microbiology. The courses are designed for Graduates, Graduates or Engineers but are also accessible to undergraduates, FPI, technical personnel of companies, or those who use the tools of Microbiology in their daily activity and wish to complement their training in this area.
Se realizan "A DISTANCIA" a través de Internet, lo que le permite al alumno utilizar el horario más adecuado y que sea compatible con su vida laboral y familiar. Para ello solo se necesita un ordenador y una conexión a Internet para acceder a la documentación y demás información del curso. Los recursos didácticos están alojados en un servidor al que se accede por contraseña individualizada. Cada curso tiene asignado uno o varios profesores tutores que son los encargados de elaborar la documentación de estudio, resolver las dudas, guiar el aprendizaje de los alumnos y hacer el seguimiento de las evaluaciones continuas. A lo largo del curso el alumno descargará la documentación del Campus Virtual y podrá contactar con su Profesor Tutor a través del Aula Virtual con el fin de aclarar cuantas dudas se presenten o ampliar conceptos específicos. La formación a distancia exige regularidad y disciplina desde la primera semana del curso. Como promedio se le deben dedicar unas 8 horas semanales.
Evaluation. The evaluation will be continuous by carrying out online Test-type exams for each of the Didactic Units that make up the syllabus of each course.
Certificate of Aptitude.

Once the pre-registration has been completed and accepted by the SEM Online Courses Secretariat, the student will be informed by e-mail of the instructions to follow to formalize their registration and make the payment. Payment must be paid before the start date of the Course.
