PROGRAMME CONTENTS ECTS CREDITS ECTS credits (acronym for European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System) is the unit of measure for university credits and represents the student’s quantity of work when meeting the objectives of his or her programme of study and is obtained by completing each subject that makes up a programme among the various studies leading to the obtaining of official and nationally recognised university degrees. This system is made up of practical and theoretical classes, as well as other activities with an academic purpose, including study and work hours which the student must complete to meet the educational objectives pertaining to each subject in his or her programme. The total number of credits for each programme in an academic year is set at 60. This allocation of credits is for students enrolled full-time for a minimum of 36 weeks, and a maximum of 40 weeks for each academic year. The minimum number of credit hours is 25, but can be fluctuated to 30 hours in certain cases. 20
Official Undergraduate Degree programmes are structured using ECTS credits. The programme contents are classified as follows: ● Essential Education Subjects. These are generally in the same area of learning and are not necessarily degree-specific. At least 25 percent of the credits in a programme must be essential education subjects. Essential education courses are given in the first two academic years. ● Compulsory Subjects. These make up the degree-specific courses in an area of study. ● Electives. Students have the option of choosing from elective courses which are relevant to their undergraduate programme and which can appear as a specialisation on their official degree. ● Internships. Students will be given a maximum extension of 60 credits. Internships are preferably carried out during the second half of the programme. ● Degree Final Project. This is designed to evaluate the student’s competence in his or her programme. The project is designed to include a minimum of 6 credits and a maximum of 12.5 percent of the total degree credits.

DOCTORATE PROGRAMMES
Doctorate programmes should play a fundamental role as a crossroads between the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) and the European Research Area (ERA), both of which are fundamental pillars of a society based on knowledge. The ULPGC pursues a doctorate education, one of high quality and skilful students, that allows for the advancement in research and innovation, reinforcing diversity, creativity, and mobility following the 2005 Salzburg and 2010 Berlin Principles. Doctorate programmes affiliated with the ULPGC School for Doctoral Studies are:

TÍTULOS PROPIOS Títulos propios, or the University’s own specific degrees are offered and certified by the ULPGC with the purpose of meeting social and educational needs not included in the university’s official degree catalogue. By doing so, the ULPGC, as at other universities in Spain, seeks to fulfil external demands by offering programmes guaranteed to be equivalent to a university education. Each year the ULPGC offers around 25 programmes in Masters, University Expert Degrees, Specialised Professional Training (for students who have completed a Higher Professional Training Cycle and wish to further
http://TITULOS PROPIOS.ulpgc.es
their training), Undergraduate and Graduate Specialised Training (for undergraduate and graduate students, respectively) and Customised Training, which seeks to meet the demand for very specific studies, primarily in the Engineering and Social Science fields. These studies can be taken on-campus, online, or combined, depending on the case, and can last between a month and two academic years, depending on the programme.
EXTRACURRICULAR EDUCATION
In addition to official programmes, the ULPGC offers an annual, varied programme of courses and activities which are available on campus or online, for students to enhance their education. One of the programmes on offer is the University Extension Courses which usually last between 30 and 150 hours which, apart from providing education, they allow the student to earn elective credits. Throughout the whole year, the university also organises interesting culture-related courses and workshops, as well as events promoting scientific awareness.
of Spain exams, under an agreement with the Cervantes Institute.
TRANSITIONAL COURSES Transitional courses are designed for firstyear students who may need to strengthen their knowledge and understanding in subjects related to their degree (Chemistry, Maths, Technical Design, English, etc.). These courses are mainly offered in the months of October and November. These courses are prominently practical and designed as a means to adjust students’ knowledge to first-year courses by providing them with an essential foundation for further

education in the disciplines.
PROGRESS AND PERMANENCE The Rules of Progress and Permanence in official undergraduate and graduate degree programmes at the ULPGC aim to achieve the adaptation process of all official degrees to the European Higher Education Area (EHEA), to increase graduation rates of the ULPGC, and to hold students responsible in terms of making good use of resources intended for their education. RULES OF COMMITMENT
•
30
Full-time. This is the standard rule applicable to all students attending courses on campus. For newly admitted students, enrolment will be for all first-year credits: 60 ECTS credits. Students who enrol for the first time in an undergraduate or graduate programme should complete a minimum of 18 ECTS credits in their first academic year or they will not be able to continue in the same programme. In rare cases, and, at the request of the student, the ULPGC Permanence Committee will grant an extension of an academic year. This will be granted one time only. After the second enrolment, students should complete 50% of credits registered for that academic year, except students at the School of Engineering and Architecture, who should complete at least 40% of the credits. If they do not obtain this percentage they will no
longer be able to continue studying the degree.
•
Part-time. Students carrying out their studies online are registered as parttime students. Those with special cases are also subject to this rule such as for: work reasons, family care, individual educational needs, unfavourable financial situation, high-performance or high-ranking athletes, etc. For newly enrolled students, the number of ECTS credits is 30. Students who enrol for the first time in an undergraduate or graduate programme should complete a minimum of 6 ECTS credits in their first academic year or they will not be able to continue in the same programme. In rare cases, and, at the request of the student, the ULPGC Permanence Committee will grant an extension of an academic year. This will be granted one time only. After the second enrolment, students should complete 50% of credits registered for that academic year, except students at the School of Engineering and Architecture, who should complete at least 40% of the credits. If they do not obtain this percentage, they will no longer be able to continue studying the
degree.
FINAL EXAMS
Students have 6 opportunities to pass the final exam in each subject of their programme. In certain cases, a seventh opportunity to be examined will be granted, provided that all other requirements of the Rules of Progress and Permanence of the official undergraduate and graduate programmes are met. When a student is marked as “Absent� for
a course, this will result in a loss of an opportunity to take the final exam.
CREDITS FOR UNIVERSITY ACTIVITIES The ULPGC will recognise credits for student participation in university-related activities in training, culture, sports, student representation, outreach and cooperation activities carried out whilst enrolled in an undergraduate programme. Recognition will be of the smallest and indivisible unit of one credit. One credit is equal to 25 hours. The maximum number of credits granted for university activities is 6 of the total amount of a programme. To apply for credit recognition, students should provide certificates or documents 31
issued by the responsible organisations of each activity.
LEVEL OF FOREIGN LANGUAGE To be admitted to official graduate programmes students, apart from meeting degree requirements, must prove their competence in a foreign language at B1 level or higher. In accordance with the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFRL), there are two ways to obtain competence in a specific level of a Foreign Language:
