Methodology, software & labs

How you'll learn

The programme is delivered 100% online on the SEIUM campus, with downloadable material, recorded classes and an assigned technical tutor. There are no fixed timetables: you progress at your own pace within each intake, so it is compatible with full-time work.

Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is Python (scikit-learn), QGIS, Power BI, Revit and Tableau, in free, academic or evaluation versions. You work on real procedures for regulatory analysis of business models, automated valuation models and data protection impact assessments. Assessment is continuous by module, plus the final Master's Thesis.

Standards covered: Law 29/1994; Law 12/2023; Regulation (EU) 2024/1028; Regulation (EU) 2020/1503; Regulation (EU) 2023/1114; Regulation (EU) 2016/679; Regulation (EU) 2024/1689; Regulation (EU) 2020/852.

Assigned technical tutor:every module ends with a deliverable that your tutor marks individually.
Standards-based learning:guided reading of Law 29/1994, Law 12/2023 and Regulation (EU) 2024/1028 applied to real cases, not as a theoretical annex.
Industry software:Python (scikit-learn), QGIS, Power BI, Revit and Tableau, in free, academic or evaluation versions.
Master's Thesis with defence:a regulatory compliance and improvement proposal for a real PropTech model, including legal risk, data and algorithm analysis, viability and impact, defended before a panel.
Flexible format:100% online, no fixed timetables, compatible with full-time work.
