Master description

The Master’s programme consists of a total of 60 credits (ECTS), distributed into 48 compulsory ECTS and 12 optional ECTS. Of the 48 compulsory credits, 15 correspond to the Master’s Thesis, and 33 to subjects. The Master’s Thesis may be carried out in collaboration with one of the other Spanish universities that are part of the consortium or with collaborating companies, both national and international.

The remaining 12 credits correspond to 2 optional subjects of 6 ECTS, which students must choose from the 5 optional subjects available.

In all subjects, the language of instruction and assessment is English.

A large part of the compulsory subjects are developed in a 3-week intensive on-site course consisting of theoretical and practical classes, which is taught on a rotating basis at one of the 17 universities that are signatories to the agreement. These on-site classes are complemented by virtual classes that each student can follow from their home university. The optional subjects are also taught entirely in an intensive, on-site format at one of the consortium universities. Attendance at these courses is compulsory and requires national mobility; travel and living expenses will be borne by the students, while accommodation expenses will be covered by the Master’s programme.
