problematic courses
Explanation:
I'm not that keen on problematic, but "problem courses" could mean courses based on problems (as in mathematical problems) and "difficult courses" could mean demanding. It clearly means courses that pose problems in some way.

UEA stands for Unidad de Enseñanza-Aprendizaje and it's a synonym for asignaturas:

"9- ¿Qué significa UEA?
- Unidad de enseñanza-aprendizaje, sinónimo de asignatura, elemento básico que integra los planes de estudio."

Or "course units", if you prefer, and there are other terms used in various places, but "courses" is standard, I think.

NO: I've just been checking further and "Problemáticas" is part of the course title; the capital P is a clue I should have noticed straight away. So the answer should be:

(To teach) the courses "Problems (in...)"...

"Courses", plural, because "ecotoxicología" is a different course.
