At the University of Alicante, we are firmly committed to providing quality education, training and research. Firstly, I would like to thank you for the trust you have placed in our University by deciding to further your professional training and personal development here with us. Secondly, I wish to commend your decision in choosing this institution where students are the centre-point of all activity and we aim to provide an all-round education at the highest level. Quality is guaranteed by our staff and material resources and one of our main priorities is to strengthen relations with society and the productive sector.

Furthermore, career advice and support activities are organised to promote integration into the labour market. The University also participates in several national and international mobility programmes. On the University campus, a whole host of services is available to cover all your needs be they academic (degree courses, libraries, study rooms, computer network, language learning), cultural and sporting (sports facilities and cultural activities) or related to everyday life (banks, restaurants, transport, bookshop and medical service).

Equality Unit The University Of Alicante Equality Unit was founded in 2009 in compliance with the twelfth additional provision of the LOM-LOU (revised edition of the Organic Law of Universities), which decrees that: “Universities will establish equality units as part of their organisational structures, in order to promote those actions related to the principle of equality between women and men.” The right to equality between women and men has been recognised by the United Nations as a universal legal principle and has been incorporated into the constitutions of democratic countries. However, legal equality, which represents a significant historical achievement for women and society in general, has proved inadequate to achieve genuine equality. Society faces the critical challenge of eradicating determined stereotypes and promoting the conditions necessary for equality between women and men to become an effective reality. Women have increased their presence in different areas of society. The incorporation of women into education, and particularly higher education, from which women were excluded for decades, is a good indication that significant advances have been made towards achieving equality. Nevertheless, various reports on the position of women in universities testify to the persistence of inequalities and imbalances regarding access to academic degrees, career paths and women’s participation in representative bodies. This evidence of inequality indicates that, in addition to addressing the root causes, there is a need to take positive action in order to redress and prevent these inequalities and achieve effective equality. The Equality Unit’s main task is to monitor compliance with the University of Alicante “First Plan for Equal Opportunities for Women and Men”, approved in January 2010, and the elaboretion of the II Plan of Equality that will have to approve along 2013. The plans of equality incorporates measures which more or less directly affect the student body, such as: • Awareness raising on the issue of gender equality. • Actions aimed at eradicating the stereotypes associated with certain degrees. • Prevention of sexual harassment, gender-motivated harassment and gender violence within the university community. • Incorporation of a gender perspective in teaching and research at the UA. The Equality Unit is located on the ground floor of the Social Sciences building. The UA has an Equality Commission that serves as a channel for the participation of the university community in equality policies. The student body is represented in this Committee through the Student Council. Phone: 965 909 917. unitat.igualtat@ua.es web.ua.es/en/unidad-igualdad

TRAINING

University courses and degrees

The process of adapting Spanish university teaching to the European Higher Education Area is being implanted progressively from the 2010/2011 academic year at the University of Alicante. The philosophy of the reform is based on: - Facilitating the mobility of students and teaching staff throughout Europe. - Favouring progressive convergence towards a common degree structure. - Favouring the continuation or resumption of courses at the same or a different university. The Spanish Government issued a Royal Decree on 29th October 2007 to regulate university courses (RD 1393/2007), amended by Royal Decree 861/2010 of 2nd July, and this standard has been used for reference by universities to create their different degree courses. The University of Alicante (UA) has also drafted its own regulations for the implantation of the Degree qualifications, approved by the Board of Governors on 30th June 2008. Said university studies consist of 3 cycles: - Degree. - Master. - Doctorate. The different kinds of studies available at the UA can be classified in several ways • According to the qualification awarded on successful completion: - Official courses with full academic and professional validity in the whole of Spain. - University own degree courses prepared by each university and which cannot use the denomination reserved for official qualifications. They are generally specialist qualifications. • According to the level of teaching and admission requirements we can classify them by: - Old Study Plan Courses: these are the qualifications of 3-Year Degree, 3-Year Degree in Engineering, 3-Year Degree in Architecture, Qualified Teacher, Degree, Engineering and Architecture, which will be gradually phased out from this academic year onwards. - Degree Courses. These are designed to give students an overall grounding in one or more subjects and are designed to prepare them for professional activities. The qualification will be entitled Degree in T, with indication, where appropriate, M (corresponding Mention) from the University of Alicante, and the Degree Supplement will refer to the branch of knowledge the qualification is assigned to. The 5 branches of knowledge are as follows: Arts and Humanities, Sciences, Health Sciences, Social & Legal Sciences and Engineering & Architecture. The study plans designed to obtain the qualifications must have the acquisition of competences by the students as one of the primary aims. They will consist of 240 ECTS, except for certain qualifications regulated by European directives (Medicine, Architecture, etc.), which have more ECTS. The 240 ECTS are spread over 4 years with 60 credits each, divided into semesters with 30 credits in each. Students can register Full Time (60 credits in first registration, in pursuit of studies or registration with recognition of credits from another degree, the range will be from 48 to 72 credits), Part Time (30 credits in first registration and continuing studies in a range that goes from 24 to 47 credits) or Reduced Attention to Disability for each academic year it should be taken into account that students are Part Time or Reduced Attention to Disability students (between 6 to 18 credits) for their qualification, however they are full time as regards the subjects they register for. - Master’s Courses. These are designed to provide students with advanced, specialised or multidisciplinary training focused on academic or professional specialisation, or to encourage their participation in research activities. The qualification will be entitled University Master’s Degree in T, where, specializing in E (specialty) from the University of Alicante. The study plans will consist of 60 to 120 ECTS and will last from 1 to 2 years. - Doctorate Courses. These are designed to provide students with advanced training in research techniques and may include courses, seminars and other activities aimed at research training and will include the preparation and presentation of the corresponding Doctoral Thesis, consisting of an original research work. The Doctorate qualification will be entitled PhD from the University of Alicante. The Doctorate programme consists of two periods, one of training and the other of research – the training period may be a University Masters. The Doctorate programmes will exist in tandem with the new courses that will take over in accordance with European Higher Education Area guidelines. The UA currently offers 39 degree qualifications, two being simultaneous study programmes of Law-Business Administration and Management (LBAM) and Tourism-Business Administration and Management (TBAM). With regard to postgraduate studies, we offer 52 official Masters, 27 Doctorate programmes and 78 own postgraduate and specialisation courses (20 Masters, 20 Specialist and 38 Expert). www.ua.es/en/estudios/index.html

Royal Decree RD 1125/2003 describes the EUROPEAN CREDIT or European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) as a European credit system that organises the study plans so that they are more understandable and comparable, allowing universities to understand each other more easily when it comes to managing academic records of international students. The teaching system is based on student learning, valuing the effort made by students to pass subjects, meaning that it takes into account the time spent attending classes, the hours spent studying, academic work, seminars, projects and the time needed to prepare for and attend exams. The following are the main features of the ECTS: - Based on 60 credits as the workload of full time students for one academic year. - The workload in Europe is 36 to 40 weeks per academic year. It is 40 weeks at the University of Alicante. - A credit represents from 25 to 30 hours work. It represents 25 hours at the University of Alicante. The ACADEMIC LEVEL achieved by students is expressed by marks that are reflected in their academic ratings, as per Royal Decree 1125/2003: - 0 - 4.9: Fail (F). - 5.0 - 6.9: Pass (P). - 7.0 - 8.9: Good (G). - 9.0 - 10: Excellent (E). First Class Honours may be awarded for marks equal to or higher than 9.0, to a maximum of 5% of the students registered. The average student record mark will be the result of applying the following formula: the sum of the credits obtained by the student, each multiplied by the value of the corresponding marks and divided by the total number of credits obtained by the student. Credits obtained through recognition of credits that are not integrated in the study plan will neither be rated numerically nor taken into account for the average of the student record. UA graduates must acquire specific knowledge and skills that are part of transversal competences that make up the TRANSVERSAL CURRICULUM of the UA. The transversal Curriculum consists of the following knowledge and skills that all UA graduates must acquire independently of the qualifications they have chosen: - Foreign Language: Minimum level B1 of the Common European Framework of Reference for modern languages, with B2 being recommended. - I.T. and Information Studies: included in the different subjects as specific learning results. - Oral and Written Communication: considered to be present in all subjects making up the qualification. The OFFICIAL CERTIFICATES and QUALIFICATIONS to be obtained with degree courses at the UA are: QUALIFICATION

Work placements in companies and institutions Academic work experience University students have the option of carrying out both curricular and extracurricular work experience. The degrees being phased out included work experience in companies and institutions either as a subject on the course programme or as academic training worth optional or elective credits. In the new undergraduate and Master’s degree courses, work experience is established as an integral part of the course programme curriculum, and may be either compulsory or optional. Therefore, students who wish to broaden their education and improve their future employability can enrol on the corresponding subject as established in their course programme. To this end, the UA and its Centres have entered into cooperation and education agreements with numerous public and private companies and institutions which each academic year offer work placements to our students. Work experience is offered on all UA courses, whether officially recognised or unique to the University, and is regulated by Royal Decree 1707/2011 of 18 November. The Work Experience and Student Support Office, which forms part of the Office of the Vice President for Students, and the Student Services Work Experience unit organise the education cooperation agreements and establishes the principles of coordinated management of work experience in the centres, which are responsible for academic administration of their students’ work experience. For the academic year 2013-14, there are about 3.750 existing agreements for the development of external practices of students UA.

Employment

s Observatory for Access to the Labour Market The University of Alicante undertakes actions and has developed tools to enhance the employment prospects of its students and make it easier for its graduates to find jobs in areas that match their training as closely as possible, bearing in mind the fact that improving employability is one of the key objectives of convergence in the European Higher Education Space. www.insercionlaboral.ua.es www.facebook.com/observatorio.ua twitter.com/#!/ObservatorioUA Career path. From University to Business. The main objective of the University of Alicante’s Employment Observatory is to prepare students for entry into the professional workforce and improve their employability, primarily through the design and implementation of activities and projects promoting attitudes, self-assessment and the various professional and interpersonal interdisciplinary skills demanded by today’s labour market. We help graduates make the transition from student to professional.

In addition, the Centre aspires to meet the constant demand for new avenues through which students and graduates can pursue their professional careers by providing fresh, dynamic and up-to-date guidance. Active Participation and Networking The aim of this programme is to promote structural and strategic change through greater coordination between University of Alicante centres and the UA General Foundation. To this end, the Observatory encourages the active participation of stakeholders in our activities, website and social networks. We welcome proposals or requests for new courses and information about events, links or other types of documents; and we invite everyone to become involved in our work so that it can be tailored to the true needs of the university community, including students, graduates and employers. We strongly believe in the need to bring the University and its social setting closer together. To this end, we aim to forge stronger ties between the academic world and society in general by modifying criteria as regards university degree contents and teaching in order to adapt student skills, abilities and proficiencies to the needs of the labour market. Social networks and contact with users In the field of social networks, the Observatory has consolidated its presence on Facebook and Twitter, representing the main tools that students can use to find practical news related to employment and self-employment inside and outside the UA. This two-way communication channel serves as a means for students to convey their needs and concerns in a direct and effective manner, enabling us to adapt the services we offer accordingly. We also have an extensive distribution list whose users receive a weekly newsletter, and a new “Private Intranet Area” where students and graduates can register to access and enrol on all the activities offered, thus streamlining administrative procedures. Employment opportunities and E-Learning At the University of Alicante, it is the General Foundation’s Employment Initiatives Office (Spanish acronym GIPE) which is responsible for posting employment opportunities and for providing labour market intermediation services. www.gipe.ua.es/tablon

A simple web section has been created for posting the employment opportunities that some partner companies send expressly to the Observatory. In addition, students will find links on the Observatory website to the various employment opportunity listings posted around the Campus (GIPE, Fudeum, Opemil, the Polytechnic University College and the Chair of Family Business). Lastly, the Observatory has a E-learning platform to provide training for entrepreneurs, and an SRM (Student Relationship Management) system so that entrepreneurs can keep track of their training history. Employment Workshops Tips and secrets on how to successfully pass a job interview, how to design and write an effective CV or know how to network when participating in a selection process: these are some of the key areas addressed in the employment workshops organised quarterly for students by the Observatory. Taught by professionals with practical experience in the different areas discussed, the aim is for participants to acquire effective, flexible and upto-date tools tailored to the real needs of business today. Find Out! study days The objective of this activity is to strengthen ties between the faculties and their work experience partners, in order to enhance our students’ employability and enable them to acquire some of the day to day skills necessary in the job market. The Observatory addresses issues such as “Attitude” and “Direction” to introduce students to the idea of their own personal career path. The Find Out! study days are held in the centres and are divided into three sections: - Information on services and employment and work experience units on Campus, taught by managers and technicians from these units. - Skills training (teamwork, attitudes, job interviews, etc.) taught by professionals with daily experience of these matters. - Graduates’ experiences. Recounted by students who have passed through the halls of the UA, studying the degrees offered at the centre in question, and have found work through paid schemes or self-employment. Sharing opinions, advice, etc. Self-Employment and Business Creation In terms of entrepreneurship, the Observatory works on several fronts, always in collaboration with companies, associations and external centres dedicated to the promotion of entrepreneurship. Once again, the aim is to network and to strengthen the ties between businesses and the University. - Seeding entrepreneurship. Programmes aimed at first year students, which include dynamic activities such as entrepreneurial experiences and idea generation. The aim is to present the option of self-employment as an alternative to paid employment. - Introduction to Business Creation. Through courses and study days for students with an idea or a project who are interested in learning about the different avenues for creating a business. We look at how to develop business plans and carry out feasibility studies, the possibilities for external financial support and future communication strategies, etc. - Consolidation of the Company. Advanced programmes for businesses already in existence, but also open to anyone who is interested. These focus on developing management talent through leadership and teamwork. They also present advanced tools for developing the business product, entrepreneurship opportunities offered by the Internet and funding forums, etc. Yuzz Alicante Programme The Yuzz programme comprises eight months of training and a panel of experts who are available 24 hours a day for the selected participants. It is an initiative of the Banesto and Movistar Foundation, coordinated in Alicante by the Employment Observatory in collaboration with local partners such as the Local Development Agency and the UA Science Park, and associates such as the Europa House apartment hotel, European Business and Innovation Centres and the UA General Foundation.

Based at the Alicante Town Council’s Business Incubator, the programme provides the twenty young people selected to participate with an amazing opportunity. Over the course of the eight month programme, they are given the support necessary to develop their ideas in the market through access to a network of professional experts offering personalised advice and tutorials, corporate training, a platform for online collaboration and administrative and legal support in the event that the idea can be implemented as a business project. An expert jury selects the winning project in Alicante, and the prize is a trip to Silicon Valley and access to the national final with prizes of ten thousand, twenty thousand and thirty thousand Euros, allocated for implementation of the project. Currently, the Observatory is organising the third Yuzz programme in Alicante, with twenty participants and fifteen business projects. The Yuzz programme is announced twice a year. Radio programme “The Business Gardener” In collaboration with the Polytechnic University College, two entrepreneurs from Observatory programmes have launched and now run a radio programme by and for entrepreneurs. Aimed at people who are interested in creating their own business or have already set one up, this new means of communication with students and the general public includes interviews, news, famous quotes and experiences, and is run with the support and collaboration of the Employment Observatory.

The music workshop The Music Workshop activities have two aims: to provide a meeting place specialising in music for the whole university community and to diffuse music through concerts designed for the general public. Activities are very diverse and cover a range of fields: promotion of music through the philharmonic orchestra, the choir, the Akra Leuka wind quintet and the Almus resident quartet, as well as music training workshops.

THE UNIVERSITY OF ALICANTE PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA The University of Alicante Philharmonic Orchestra was created in November 2005 with the aim of providing a stable platform for perfecting music studies and contributing to the promotion of musical culture within the University. Formed by 50 young musicians, the OFUA’s fundamental purpose is training. It serves as a meeting ground for musicians from the University and from the music conservatories and music schools in the province. Currently directed by Mihnea Ignat (Craiova, 1980), a young conductor trained in Bucharest and Vienna, the orchestra made its debut at the Christmas Concert held in the Nuestra Señora de Gracia church on the 16th of December 2005, performing works by Schubert, Fauré and Handel, together with the University Choir. In 2006, the orchestra performed in the Teatro Principal in Alicante, giving a concert in commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the birth of Mozart. In the same year, the orchestra also held an exchange with the University of Valencia Philharmonic Orchestra as part of the latter’s 10th anniversary celebrations, performing a concert for the University of Valencia senate. The OFUA has performed with prestigious professionals, such as Miguel Ángel Estrella or the young pianist from the National University of Music Bucharest, Silvan Negritiu. The OFUA collaborates closely with the Queen Sofia College of Music in Madrid, and as a result has performed with the virtuosos Alina Artemeyeva and Madarys Morgan (piano), Ye Xin, Eszter Stankowsky and Erzhan Kulibaev (violin), and the soprano Galyna Gurina. The most recent developments in the OFUA programme have been invitations to participate in prestigious national and international festivals, taking the University Orchestra to important venues in the province and to auditoriums in Murcia and Zaragoza, in order to participate for the second time in the International Youth Orchestra Festival. In addition, the orchestra is developing a programme of didactic concerts which have aroused strong interest among the educational community.

ALICANTE UNIVERSITY CHOIR The University of Alicante Choir aims, among other things, to become a musical benchmark, providing a rigorous musical and teacher training for its members and performing in concerts and various academic events. The University Choir rehearses once a week on the UA campus and this practice is complemented by voice training classes and intensive residential courses. In addition, various monographic seminars are offered throughout the academic year. Entrance interviews are normally conducted in October. Throughout the academic year, the UA Choir performs a series of concerts, in the auditorium and in other venues, participating in opening sessions, honorary degree awards, etc. Similarly, it holds exchanges with other choirs.

Transport

You can get to the University of Alicante by bus (several urban and inter-urban routes) as well as by the Cercanías local train from certain places. UNIVERSITY TRANSPORT from other locations to the University of Alicante is run by student associations, town halls or transport companies. BUS The bus services are either regular or specifically dedicated to university transport and in the latter case only normally run during term time. The University of Alicante, due to its location next to the A-7 dual carriageway, has excellent road links with the city of Alicante and other towns. LOCAL TRAIN The C-3 Cercanías local train service run by Renfe links Alicante with San Vicente del Raspeig (approx. 9 minutes) and has an unstaffed station in the UA Campus expansion area (approx. 600 metres away), with trains every 40 to 55 minutes from Monday to Friday (16 trains/day). There are less trains and a less frequent service on Saturdays, Sundays and Bank Holidays (10 trains/day). You can also connect with other towns in the province by changing trains to the C-1 Cercanías Local Train service (Torrellano, Elche, Crevillente, Albatera, Catral, Callosa de Segura and Orihuela). Timetable of the local C-1 and C3 services: web.ua.es/en/oia/transporte-universitario/ line-c-3-of-renfe-vicinities.html Users of this line can use the free Uni@BUS service with shuttle buses connecting the Unstaffed Station to the heart of the Campus (Storytelling Wood, Museum, Aulario II Lecture Building and Sports Centre) in approximately 7 minutes. Uni@Bus timetable: web.ua.es/en/oia/transporte-universitario/line-c-3-of-renfe-vicinities.html Renfe offers university students the Abono Estudio, a card which allows you to acquire a quarterly voucher (valid for calendar quarters) that allows you to make as many journeys as you like on the chosen route. For more information about the Abono Estudio: Customer Service Office Phone: 902 320 320 o 968 97 52 99 (Timetable: 7.00 am. to 11 pm.). clientecercaniasmurcia@renfe.es RIDING TO THE UA BY BIKE FROM SAN VICENTE DEL RASPEIG June 2007 saw the start of the BICISANVI, a free bicycle loan system promoted by the Valencian Energy Agency and San Vicente del Raspeig Town Hall. It is designed to promote bicycle use in San Vicente, with the consequent energy savings and reduced environmental impact. Bikes can be borrowed and returned at the following points: - Municipal Sports Center. - Plaza del Ayuntamiento. - Plaza Juan Pablo II. - General Library University of Alicante. - Halt University. - Plaza Huerto de Los Leones. - Halt TRAM (Centro de Salud II). - Shopping Center SAN VICENTE OUTLET PARK. Bikes may not be kept for longer than 3 hours. To take part in the bicisanvi programme you have to register as a user and be issued with BICISANVI at one of the Customer Service offices. For more information, please ring: 965 665 230 (Mondays to Fridays – 9 am. to 2 pm.) or visit: www.bicisanvi.es ACCESS TO UA FROM ALICANTE CITY WITH BICYCLE From April 2013 the Department of Environment of the City of Alicante has commissioned ALABICI service at the University of Alicante. From now on all users of ALABICI, especially the students of the University, you can go to the Campus, from Alicante and vice versa using this

121

municipal service bikes and bike lane network in the City. There have been installed three halts of the municipal bicycle rental on Campus: Sports Zone, Social Sciences Building and among the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters III and the Faculty of Health Sciences. The maximum usage time is 2 hours. To use the service Alabici must register as a user and get the card for access to the service. More information on: http://alabici.labici.net FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR UNIVERSITY TRANSPORT Every year, the Regional Ministry for Business, Universities and Science aids university transport by offering grants to already existing transport services or those founded to transport students from their places of residence to the universities where they are studying. This means that the students using said services benefit from reduced ticket prices. These grants can be applied for by town halls, university student’s associations, user cooperatives and users dedicated to university transport, as well as for those services not involving any of the above, permanent regular public transport (in this case there will be a discount of at least 25% on the official fare). In order to take advantage of these discounts, you need to belong to the corresponding association or have a university transport card. As well as the financial assistance provided by the Ministry, you should contact the company providing the service to enquire about vouchers offering a discount on individual journeys. INFORMATION POINTS The Student Information Office actively works towards providing access to all the information you need: studies, activities, courses, university regulations, accommodation, financial aid and grants, etc. as well as university transport options. The Student Council Transport Committee is an umbrella organisation for its member associations, which represent over 16,000 students who travel to and from the Campus on public transport every day. The information provided below refers to the 2012-2013 academic year, as, at the time of publishing (May 2013), the associations and transport companies that would be offering or managing the services for this academic year had not been confirmed. You should therefore confirm the information for the 2013-2014 academic year at the following places: - The Student Information Office. Phone: 965 903 456 (Aulario II Lecture building). - The Student Council Transport Committee. Phone: 965 903 675 (Aulario I Lecture building). - The Information Points of the Departments of Youth Affairs/Education at your Town Hall. More information: http://web.ua.es/en/oia/transporte-universitario/university-transport.htmlén en: www.ua.es/oia/es/transpDuring the academic year these timetables may change. Therefore, if you have any doubts, please check with the corresponding association / body or company.

Alicante and metropolitan area (TAM) Transport is integrated with the TAM (Metropolitan Alicante Transport) system that connects Alicante and its metropolitan area (El Campello, Sant Joan d’Alacant, San Vicente del Raspeig and Mutxamel). Several bus routes serve the University Campus: - Route 24 Alicante-University-San Vicente del Raspeig. - Route 24N Alicante-University-San Vicente del Raspeig (Night service). - Route 34 Alicante-University. - Route 37 Padre Esplá-University. - Route 36 San Gabriel-University. - Route C-54 Hospital de San Juan - San Juan de Alicante - Muchamiel - University. - RouteC-55 El Campello - San Juan de Alicante - Muchamiel - University. - Route 38 Playa San Juan-University.

Transport

From other areas Road transport services are usually run by local associations or bodies that channel the financial assistance for university transport (provided annually by the Regional Ministry for Business, Universities and Science) and which offer significant discounts on normal ticket prices. In some cases, you must be a member to benefit from discounts, while in others you merely have to identify yourself as a student. Contact the Association or Body closest to your place of residence. As well as the transport services run by local associations/bodies, some towns have regular services that go to or pass by the University. These companies usually offer travel vouchers that give discounts on normal ticket prices.

ADMINISTRATIVE, ACADEMIC & TEACHING ASPECTS

Administrative, academic & teaching aspects

This section deals with the most common issues involved in academic and administrative procedures. Most of these procedures are regulated by specific norms that can be consulted in the Academic Rules and Regulation Manual, which can be consulted at: sga.ua.es/en/academic-regulations/academic-regulations-and-procedures-of-the-university-of-alicante.html The Universities Organic Law deals with the topic of students in Title VIII. Article 46 specifically regulates students’ rights and duties. From this section, it is particularly worth highlighting the following: 1. “Study is a right and a duty for university students”. 2. “The Statutes and organisation and working regulations (of universities) must develop the rights and duties of students as well as the mechanisms necessary to ensure these”. Specifically, the University of Alicante Statute, in its Title IV Chapter III deals with students as part of the University Community and Section 2 in particular defines their duties and rights. Amongst others, students have a right to: a) To receive an adequate education in science, technical and cultural. b) Participation in management and programming of teaching, as well as quality control and teaching faculty, according to the procedure time. c) To be assisted during their training through an effective system of guidance and monitoring of cross-cutting nature of their profession, to complete the comprehensive training and teaching as a critique of and students and as preparation for professional activities. d) To receive an objective assessment of their academic performance and to exercise the remedies therefor, as the established procedure. e) Knowing in advance the syllabus of the subjects or subjects that provide enrollment and completion dates of the assessment tests. f) The evaluation of academic performance based on published and objectives and will tend to formative assessment and continuous, understood as a teaching-learning process. In the Degree students may enroll three times in the same subject. Quarter enrollment will grace shall have successfully completed the first 120 credits of the degree.

139

Timetables, assignment of lecturers and exam calendar

The timetable establishes the distribution of subjects over a period of time. It is worked out in four-monthly terms or annually for each academic year, indicating study year and group, head lecturers and all other lecturers per subject, as well as exam dates and rooms where the subject is to be taught. The periods within which the teaching timetable must be drawn up (generally between April and May of the previous year) are established in the Academic Calendar and are approved by the Board of Governors. By designing the timetables in the established periods, students are able to choose and organise their academic year more easily. The directions of the centers will appoint a lecturer who will be in charge of organising the timetables and exam calendar for each curriculum or course. These timetables will be approved by the Centre’s Board or a delegated committee and are final. Student representatives must be involved in the drawing up of timetables and exam dates. Exam dates can only be changed for justifiable reasons (e.g.: due to a change in the Spanish university entrance exam dates), and until 15 days before the initially set date. In any case, any modifications would only set back the start dates and would be published on the notice boards. If you have any doubts concerning these issues, please go to your centre’s secretariat. You can also obtain specific inform tion from the corresponding centre’s webpage (www.ua.es/ en/centros/) or more generally from the Student Information Office webpage: http://web.ua.es/en/oia/academic-schedules/lecture-schedules-and-examination-dates.html

Assigning and changes in groups For degree courses in which the same subjects are taught both in the morning and in the afternoon timetables, students are divided into the two groups in such a way that they both contain a similar number of students. Priority will be given to election time group students with higher grades of access or transcript. Some centers allow the possibility of requesting group change if good cause exists for it set a deadline for applications (available at your secretariat). Circumstances that may justify a change in group are generally: a clash with working hours, transport difficulties, federation or university sporting activities, a clash with other official studies or any other justifiable reasons: disability, need to care for a family member, etc.

Teaching and lecturers

The Departments are teaching units responsible for coordinating the teaching of their field of knowledge (Title.I Chap.III Art.13 of the UA statutes). Each subject taught as part of any degree course is integrated within a department which is responsible for appointing the teaching staff and ensuring that the latter fulfil all their teaching duties. Teaching is a right and duty of the faculty of the University, which shall exercise academic freedom, no restrictions other than those established in the Constitution and laws, and those derived from the organization of education by the competent organs of the University (LOU. Art. 33.2 y Title. III Chap. I Sect. 1ª Art.107 of the EUA).

ADMINISTRATIVE, ACADEMIC & TEACHING ASPECTS

Timetables, assignment of lecturers and exam calendar

You can find out which department is in charge of teaching a specific subject by: - Asking at the secretariat of the centre where you are registered. - Visiting the “Admissions and Studies” webpage (www.ua.es/en/estudios/) on the UA’s website. Go to the section that contains your curriculum and look for the subject you wish to consult. Each department has an Administrative Secretariat from which you can obtain information about any issue related to the department’s classes or organisation. Most departments have their own webpage with information about lecturers, studies, location, administration staff, useful links, etc. www.ua.es/en/centros/ The Head of Department and the Departmental Council are responsible for the quality and fulfilment of the teaching hours assigned to their department’s lecturers (Tit.II Cap.IV Sec.I of the UA Statutes). Consequently, if you wish to report any deficiency in this regard, you should inform these bodies.

Continuous Assessment (undergraduate)

In the degrees has been established the system of “continuous assessment” as a system of acquiring knowledge and skills in the final examination can not account for more than 50% of the final grade. This evaluation system committed to the concept of “learning to learn” rather than the mere accumulation of knowledge. It enhances the class sessions more participatory and non-contact teaching and independent learning by the student seeking information, group work or on-line survey effort. It gives more importance to the tutored, continuous assessment, preparation of papers and projects either individually or in groups and use of ICT (Information and Communication).

Tutorials

The Board of Governors will establish teaching duties, both as regards actual teaching as well as tutorials and student attendance, in accordance with Art. 145.3 of the UA Statutes. This is applicable to all lecturers with the exception of those who also carry out an academic role (Vice-Chancellor, Pro-Vice-Chancellor, Dean, Head, etc), who will be totally or partially exempt from teaching duties and attending tutorials (Art. 161.2). University of Alicante students have the right to be assisted during their training through an effective system of orientation (Art. 166.c). For subjects that involve work placements in companies or institutions, the student is entitled to custody, during the corresponding period of the practice, by a college professor and a professional who provides services in the enterprise, institution or entity which performs the same. (RD 1707/2011). Each lecturer’s tutorial timetables will be published on the corresponding centre’s notice board, in accordance with the Order of 29 March 1983. This information is also available at each department’s administrative secretariat as well as on the webpage of certain departments. Increasingly higher numbers of lecturers publish their tutorial timetables on Campus Virtual. First-year students may make use of the “Tutorial Action Programme” by requesting the allocation of a tutor/professor when they register. The tutor/professor will advise and support the student with regard to his/her personal, academic and professional developments, as well as helping him/her to adapt to university social life.

BASIC SUBJECTS MAKING UP THE DIFFERENT BRANCHES OF KNOWLEDGE. a) Arts and Humanities: Anthropology, Art, Ethics, Artistic Expression, Philosophy, Geography, History, Modern Language, Language, Classical Language, Linguistics, Literature and Sociology. b) Sciences: Biology, Physics, Geology, Mathematics and Chemistry. c) Health Sciences: Animal Anatomy, Human Anatomy, Biology, Biochemistry, Statistics, Physics, Physiology, Psychology. d) Social and Legal Sciences: Anthropology, Political Science, Communication, Law, Economics, Education, Business, Statistics, Geography, History, Psychology, Sociology e) Engineering and Architecture: Business, Graphic Expression, Physics, Computer Studies, Mathematics, Chemistry COMPULSORY SUBJECTS (OB): These make up most of the subjects of the degree courses. They correspond to specific degree content. OPTIONAL SUBJECTS (OP): These are only offered in the second half of the study plan. They ensure the teaching of relevant content that does not coincide with other basic and/or obligatory subjects. They can be grouped into routes or itineraries, of which students may only study one. EXTERNAL WORK PLACEMENTS: These are included in all study plans and may be either optional or obligatory. They are only offered in the last two years. UA Regulations for work experience: www.boua.ua.es/pdf.asp?pdf=2359.pdf FINAL DEGREE THESIS: All degree courses finalise with the presentation and viva voce of a final degree thesis that will represent a minimum of 6 and a maximum of 30 credits. UA Regulations for Final Degree Thesis/Master: www.boua.ua.es/pdf.asp?pdf=2154.pdf TRANSVERSAL CURRICULUM: In order to obtain a degree at the UA, students must accredit the acquisition of a number of competences independently of the subjects studied. These competences make up the “transversal curriculum”. - Competences in a foreign language. - Competences in I.T. and Information Science. - Competences in oral and written communication. I.T. skills and oral and written communication competences are an integral part of the subjects making up the degree. They must be studied and assessed. The foreign language competence (Level B1) must be accredited before evaluation the final degree project. It can be accredited by passing language courses, obtaining certificates issued by recognised institutions or by studying subjects taught in a foreign language (See regulations). sga.ua.es/en/academic-regulations/eees/idiomaextranjero/foreign-language-accreditation.html

Plans being phased out (3-year degrees, 4-year degrees, etc)

The subjects may be yearly or half-yearly. The academic credit is assessed differently (One credit = 10 hours of class). The subjects may be: Core (common to the same degree), Compulsory (laid down by the university) and Optional (can be grouped in itineraries or specialities).

Subject programmes

According to the Order dated 29th March 1983 (Official Government Bulletin of 9th April), all departments or chairs, as appropriate, will publicise the subject programmes and monographic PhD courses they are responsible for, including sufficient information about their content and a minimum bibliography to prepare for them.

Subjects, credits and fees

The framework regulations concerning the Assessment and Examinations Procedure (approved by the Governing Body on 1st April 2009) state that before the start of classes in the subject or matter should be provided to students by faculty or department, in writing and in any case through the system virtual campus computer: - The full subject programme. - The kind or kinds of tests that will be used to assess the student’s understanding of the subject. - Any possible incompatibilities between the tests to be passed. - The assessment criteria and the threshold to be applied. The University of Alicante website also offers students comprehensive information on each subject, using fact files that are generated on accessing the study plan of the corresponding degree. You can find all this information at: www.ua.es/en/estudios You can also obtain subject programmes from the Administrative Secretariats of the departments responsible for teaching them. Subject programmes are needed to request recognition of validation if you change your course or university.

Free Choice or Free Configuration Credits

DEGREE COURSES The concept of free choice changes with the implantation of the degree courses. Degree course students can obtain recognition of up to a maximum of 6 credits for taking part in: - University cultural activities. - University sports activities. - Student representation activities. - Charitable and cooperative activities. Before the start of every academic year, the Board of Governors of the University will define the nature of the activities benefiting from this academic recognition. The Governing Council of the UA adopted at a meeting held June 28, 2013, Regulation developed by the academic recognition of university activities cultural, sports, student representation, solidarity and cooperation in undergraduate. Available at the following website: sga.ua.es/en/academic-regulations/eees/academic-recognition-university-activities/academic-recognition-universityactivities.html PLANS BEING PHASED OUT (3-YEAR COURSES, 4-YEAR COURSES, ETC) Students of old study plans must obtain a number of free-choice credits amounting to no less than 10% of the overall study plan teaching load. Free-choice credits can be obtained by: - Studying subjects from other courses that are offered in the “free-choice catalogue”. - Studying more optional subjects from their own study plan. - Taking part in academic activities offering recognition of credits, such as: · Courses, conferences, seminars, etc. These can be found in regular listings at (web.ua.es/es/ceclec/documentos/creditos.pdf). · Language learning courses, qualifications and certificates. · UA Valencian language courses. · Participating in stable cultural groups. · Representing the university at sport. · Participating in student representation activities. Most activities benefiting from recognition of credits are organised by the University of Alicante itself, although other institutions and/or universities are sometimes involved in the recognition of activities. Examples of the latter are the summer courses run by the Xarxa Joan Lluís Vives university network (Catalan language area) and which are recognised by all of them. For more information: www.vives.org/en/ The Free Choice Credits Committee (CECLEC) (FCCC) coordinates and regulates everything related to these matters. web.ua.es/en/ceclec/

Credits-Recognition, Validation and Conversion

RECOGNITION OF CREDITS With the degree qualifications the concept maintained until now of validation/conversion has been replaced by the concept of recognition. Recognition of credits can occur when a student accesses a official degree course with subjects (credits) already passed in the same or in another official degree qualification or in university qualifications that are being phased out (4-year degrees, 3-year degrees, etc.). Criteria for the recognition of credits between degree courses: • When a student accesses a degree qualification with credits obtained from other degree courses in the same branch of knowledge, then the basic subjects passed will be recognised. • When a student accesses a degree qualification in another branch of knowledge, then those subjects that are common to both branches of knowledge will be recognised. • Non-basic subjects (obligatory or optional) will be recognised taking into account the correspondence between the competences and knowledge acquired (similarity between subjects). • Subjects corresponding to the transversal competences or knowledge will also be recognised (at the UA, level of foreign language, competences in new technologies and oral and written expression). • It is envisaged to recognize credits in official titles of degree courses taken at Higher Level Vocational Training in Art Studies and University Degrees. Also provides the ability to recognize credit for professional experience accredited. Criteria for the recognition of credits between courses that are being phased out (4-year degrees, 3-year degrees, etc) and degree courses. • The “conversion tables” included in the degree “fact files” will be applied when a student converts to the degree qualification replacing his/her qualification. • In other cases, the subjects passed in qualifications that are being phased out will be recognised according to the similarity between the knowledge associated with the topics and/or subjects studied by the student and those contained in the degree course study plan that he/she has accessed (similarity between subjects). The credits recognised will retain their original rating and if this is written then it will be converted to a numerical rating (AP (P) =6, NT (G) =8, SB (E) =9.5). TRANSFER OF CREDITS When a student accesses a degree qualification with subjects already passed in other unfinished official university courses and these are not the object of recognition, then they will be transferred to his/her new student record, so that they appear in the academic documents issued, especially European Degree Supplement (EDS). REQUESTS FOR THE RECOGNITION AND TRANSFER OF CREDITS Students shall present their requests for the recognition and/or transfer of credits in the Secretariat of the Centre (Faculty/University School) in the period laid down by the University for each academic year, normally coinciding with the registration deadlines. Documentation: • Subject programme/s stamped by the Centre where it/they were studied or by the Department responsible for teaching it. • Personal Academic Certificate issued by the centre of origin or certified photocopy. (Between University of Alicante courses the student record stamped by the Centre of origin will be sufficient). • Photocopy of the official study plan publication stamped by the Centre. The documentation can be simplified when dealing with courses studied at the University of Alicante itself. Requests for the recognition and transfer of credits will be dealt with by the Centre Committees created to do so. UA Regulations. Academic Policy Manual. sga.ua.es/en/academic-regulations/eees/recognition-and-transfer/recognition-and-credit-trasnferencia.html VALIDATION AND CONVERSION The concepts of validation/conversion are restricted to the incorporation of subjects between courses that are being phased out (4-year degrees, 3-year degrees, etc.). Conversion occurs when the incorporation takes place between subjects studied for the same qualification, while validation occurs between different qualifications. Both validation and conversion are granted according to the similarity in content and academic weighting between the subject passed and the subjects to be validated/converted. The original marks are retained in both cases. The request and resolution procedure is similar to that for the recognition of credits. UA Regulations. Academic Management Manual. sga.ua.es/en/academic-regulations/conval-adap/validations-and-adaptations.html

Assessment, examinations and marks ASSESSMENT The new degree courses use the continuous assessment system, where the final mark for the subject consists of: 1. Assessment of all practical activities carried out by students during the course through work done, oral expositions and resolution of problems. 2. Continuous assessment of students on the basis of their participation in and involvement with the teaching-learning process. 3. Final or partial examination or examinations. Its/their percentage weighting for the mark shall not exceed 50% of the final mark. UA regulation for creating degree courses (Art. 16.1.f). www.boua.ua.es/pdf.asp?pdf=punto_7_1_normativa_implantacion_titulos_grado.pdf The criteria used for assessment will be made available to students before the start of the course in the “subject fact file” that can be accessed through their “Campus Virtual” or in the “Subjects and Access” section of the UA website. www.ua.es/en/estudios/index.html With the study plans being phased out (3-year degrees. 4-year degrees, etc) the traditional assessment system based on final and/or partial examinations is maintained, although the professor can take the work done by students into account when deciding the final mark. CURRICULUM EVALUATION BY REPORT COMPENSATION An application for compensation shall be made by application addressed to the Chancellor, which shall contain the credit to be approved, and will befiled at the Registry of the University of Alicante, may be given only once, and meeting certain requirements and in no case be optional credits, Placement and Final Degree or career.

B) The marks of the written tests will be calculated by the professors responsible for the discipline/s being examined. C) Those involved will be notified of the results of the examinations (by their publication on the notice boards and other places set aside for the purpose).

REVIEW Students have the right to ask for their marks to be reviewed, following the specific procedure laid down in the Framework Regulations concerning the assessment procedure and examinations and the regulations of the centres (faculties/university schools) holding them. sga.ua.es/en/academic-regulations/calificaciones/examinations.html With the publication of the marks, the professor in charge will provide information concerning the review location and calendar. Students must attend the first review. If, having attended the ordinary review, students continue to disagree with their marks, they may ask for a second review by writing to the management of the department responsible for teaching the subject. They department will issue a report agreeing to the request of the student or maintaining the original mark. If the department does not agree to the request of the student, he/she may write to the management of their centre (faculty/ university school). The management of the centre will set up a tribunal consisting of professors from the same area of knowledge and related areas to decide on the review request. This decision may be contested by writing to the Vice-Chancellor of the University. The Student Ombudsman and the Student Council may advise on these matters. Ombudsman: defensor.ua.es/en

Official academic certificates, student record and certification OFFICIAL ACADEMIC CERTIFICATES Academic certificates are the official documents showing the final marks obtained by students in a specific call and subject. They are signed by the professor responsible for the subject and by the secretary of the centre and filed in the secretariat. Once the marks have been published and the review calendar finalised, the professor responsible for the subject will draft the official certificate, sign it and hand it to the Secretariat of the centre. The academic calendar lays down the deadlines for completing and handing in the certificates. From that moment the marks are official and definitive. Academic calendar 2013/14. www.boua.ua.es/pdf.asp?pdf=punto_6_1_calendario_academico_2013_14.pdf ACADEMIC RECORD The academic record contains a record of the academic life of the student from the moment he/she enters the University, the course studied, the subjects passed and the marks awarded, possible transfers and award of the degree, where appropriate. The academic record is prepared, kept and filed in the administrative secretariat of the centre (faculty or university school). Students can check the details of their academic records by accessing the “Campus Virtual”. They can also request information about their record from the secretariat of their centre at any time. PERSONAL ACADEMIC CERTIFICATE The Personal Academic Certificate is the official document showing the details contained in the academic record of the student. The application for a Certificate Academic Staff should be made through the school secretary (college / school). The centers have established procedures for applying for certification electronically. A charge of 27 Euros is made and they are issued a few days later. Several kinds of Personal Academic Certificate may be requested, from those containing all the information on record to those only listing the subjects passed and their marks. Students may also ask for any information appearing in the record to be certified (first cycle pass, completion of courses, specific subject passes, average mark, etc.). As well as the Personal Academic Certificate, other documents including academic information can be generated (printing the record from “Campus Virtual”, “student record” requested in the secretariat). These documents are free of charge. They do not have the validity of the official certification but can be used to accredit academic details in many circumstances.
