At the master's level and in the field of health sciences, it is necessary to consolidate the scientific method. Thus, it is necessary to manage the two main methodological approaches to answer research questions in the field of health: the qualitative methodology and the quantitative methodology. Finally, the student must be able to effectively handle the tools of the statistical methodology, and apply them to the computer processing of data in the health sciences.
