	Objectives
	EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES THE COURSE AIMS TO PROVIDE A BASIC KNOWLEDGE OF THE MAIN ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES AND MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS, AS WELL AS THE REFERENCE STANDARDS, PROCEDURAL MODELS AND METHODOLOGICAL TOOLS NECESSARY FOR OBTAINING BOTH INTERNATIONAL AND EU ENVIRONMENTAL CERTIFICATIONS. IT FITS WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF THE OVERALL OBJECTIVE OF THE DEGREE COURSE, WHICH IS TO TRAIN A PROFESSIONAL FIGURE EXPERT IN THE FIELD OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT AND MONITORING, PROCESS MEASUREMENT AND IMPROVEMENT, ASSESSMENT AND MANAGEMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS, ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY, RISK ANALYSIS AND ENVIRONMENTAL INNOVATION. THE PROFESSIONAL FIGURE OF REFERENCE FOR THE COURSE'S EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES IS AN EXPERT PRACTITIONER OF THE RELEVANT STANDARDS, THE VARIOUS PROCEDURAL, PROGRAMMATIC AND IMPLEMENTATION ELEMENTS THAT CHARACTERIZE BUSINESS POLICIES, AS WELL AS PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION, AND ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS IN THE AREA OF PRODUCT AND/OR PROCESS/SERVICE CERTIFICATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL LABELS, AND THE METHODOLOGICAL AND APPLICATION APPROACHES THAT OVERSEE THE OPERATION OF EACH INDIVIDUAL CERTIFICATION. DUBLIN DESCRIPTOR NO 1 (KNOWLEDGE) THE COURSE PROVIDES: - THE BASIC KNOWLEDGE OF ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES, RISK ANALYSIS, ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL FOOTPRINT QUANTIFICATION; - THE ANALYSIS OF DIFFERENT FORMS OF CERTIFICATION AND THE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM OF ENTERPRISES WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO EU AND INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS; - THE REGULATORY AND TECHNICAL KNOWLEDGE OF THE MAIN FORMS OF VOLUNTARY ENVIRONMENTAL CERTIFICATION AND THE DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENTAL LABELS; - THE KNOWLEDGE OF TOOLS THAT PROMOTE CONTINUOUS ENVIRONMENTAL IMPROVEMENT OF PRODUCTS/SERVICES AND QUANTIFICATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS USING PRODUCT/SERVICE LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGIES. DUBLIN DESCRIPTOR NO 2 (SKILLS/KNOWHOW) THE TEACHING ENABLES THE STUDENT TO: - ADDRESS THE ISSUES RELATED TO THE ASSESSMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND THEIR MANAGEMENT BOTH FROM A REGULATORY POINT OF VIEW AND WITH REGARD TO TECHNICAL-PROCEDURAL ASPECTS WITH A SIGHT TO IMPROVING PRODUCTION SERVICES/PROCESSES WITH A VIEW TO SUSTAINABILITY; - ADDRESS THE ISSUES ASSOCIATED WITH THE MAIN AREAS OF INTEREST OF ENVIRONMENTAL CERTIFICATIONS; - KNOW HOW TO COMBINE METHODOLOGY AND OPERATIONAL PRACTICE, IN THE APPLICATION OF THE VARIOUS FORMS OF ENVIRONMENTAL CERTIFICATION AND ENHANCEMENT, INCLUDING COMPETITIVE ENHANCEMENT, OF COMPANY ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE. DUBLIN DESCRIPTOR NO 3 (INDEPENDENT JUDGEMENT) THE COURSE AIMS TO ENABLE THE STUDENT TO KNOW AND UNDERSTAND THE MAIN EU AND INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS AND NAVIGATE AMONG THEM, VALUE THE CERTIFICATION PATH AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO ADOPT OPERATIONAL SOLUTIONS AND TECHNICAL/METHODOLOGICAL TOOLS THAT ARE REALLY EFFECTIVE AND ABLE TO IMPROVE THE MANAGEMENT EFFICIENCY OF THE ORGANIZATION IN THE ENVIRONMENTAL FIELD. IN PARTICULAR, THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO RECOGNIZE AND EVALUATE DIFFERENT TYPES OF ENVIRONMENTAL CERTIFICATIONS, SUGGESTING INITIATIVES AND SOLUTIONS FOR SUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT AND INNOVATION. DUBLIN DESCRIPTOR NO 4 (COMMUNICATION SKILLS) THE COURSE WILL ENABLE THE STUDENT TO INTERACT WITH SPECIALIST AND NON-SPECIALIST INTERLOCUTORS WITH REGARD TO KNOWLEDGE OF SCHEMES THAT ENCOURAGE CERTIFICATION BOTH WITH REGARD TO THEORETICAL ASPECTS AND WITH REGARD TO PRACTICAL/APPLICATION ASSUMPTIONS. DUBLIN DESCRIPTOR NO 5 (ABILITY TO LEARN) THE COURSE WILL PROVIDE THE STUDENT WITH THE NECESSARY SKILLS FOR SELF-DIRECTED AND AUTONOMOUS STUDY, ENABLING HIM OR HER TO FIND INDIVIDUAL PATHS TO DEAL WITH THE COMPLEX AND MULTIDISCIPLINARY PROBLEMS OF ENVIRONMENTAL CERTIFICATION, THROUGH CONTINUOUS AND CONSTANT REGULATORY UPDATES AS WELL AS CASE STUDIES OF CONCRETE EXPERIENCES OF COMPANIES (OR ORGANIZATIONS FROM NON-PRODUCTION SECTORS) PRESENTED AS "GOOD PRACTICES" TO BE INSPIRED IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PROPOSED TOOLS.
