On this website you will be able to find all the information about the URV's new official master's degrees for the academic year 2008-2009.
| What are they? |  |
The URV offers 40 official Master's Degrees for the academic year 2008-09. More than half of these Master's are shared Degrees; some in collaboration with Research Institutes (ICIQ, ICAC, ICMAB) and others in association with European Universities, covering almost all areas of knowledge at the URV.
The official Master's Degree's are the result of adapting current Spanish university studies to the European Plan for Higher Education, in accordance with the Bologna declaration of 1999 and complementary declarations. The ultimate aim of this reform of the structure of university qualifications is to harmonize the length, the learning methods and the academic activities in European universities. In this way it is expected to facilitate the mobility of students and their integration into the European labour market.
There are three different types of official Master's Degree: professional, designed for students to learn and acquire skills so that they can practise the corresponding professional speciality; research, designed for students to acquire knowledge for research, and academic, which is a hybrid of the first two types.
| Who are they for? | |
The Master's Degree courses are open to anybody with an official university qualification, even Spanish or foreign (this foreign degree must enable you to be admitted to postgraduate studies in the country where you obtained it).
| Duration | |
The master's degree courses are between 60 and 120 ECTS credits (European Credit Transfer System), which is the standard that the EHEA universities have adopted to guarantee the homogeneity and quality of studies. They will take between one and two academic years.
| Prices | |
Bearing in mind that the URV is a public university, the price is a public price set by the Catalan government within the limits established in the rest of Spain.
Approximately, in the academic year 2007-08 the prices were between 18 and 29 euros per credit, depending on the master's experimental level (see prices).
