Curriculum Structure |
|
UAM offers Spanish undergraduates fully recognized degrees. There are the Diplomatura and Ingenierías Técnicas (technical engineering), which are three year studies equivalent to an Associate Degree. Licenciaturas and Ingenierías Superiores are four to five years studies equivalent to a Bachelor's Degree. Along with that, UAM offers second level licenciaturas, which allow people who have a diplomatura to obtain a licenciatura by taking courses. In other case, they must have at least the first two or three years of a licenciatura and combined degree, which are very popular among Spanish students.
UAM offers 94 PhD programs in all of the universities programs. It also offers 72 unrecognized Masters Degrees, and with the implementation of the Bologna Process 16 recognized Master degrees.
