  • They are more vocational in nature, oriented towards the labour market.
  • They respond to a demand for specialized training in fields of knowledge that are generally not offered by official degrees.
  • They are a tool for enhancing one’s curriculum, for professional growth, knowledge refreshment and continuing education.
  • Master of permanent training. They are postgraduate level studies with an academic load of 60, 90 or 120 ECTS credits. They are aimed at people who want to achieve an academic or professional specialization in certain areas of knowledge. Its teaching duration is at least one academic year.

  • Expert diploma. They are postgraduate level studies with an academic load of between 15 and 29 ECTS credits.

(Official) master's degree studies include specialized or mutidisciplinary training, aimed at academic or professional specialization or are an initiation into research activities. They give acces to doctoral studies.

  • Official master’s degrees are valid throughout Spain and at all of the universities that belong to the European Higher Education Area (EHEA). Official master’s degrees are subject to external evaluation processes and are included in the Register of Universities, Centres and Degrees (RUCT).

Masters of permanent training are studies that offer specialized training in areas that are generally not offered in official qualifications.

  • They are not officially recognized and do not give access to doctoral studies. 
  • The academic content, the teaching staff, and the prestige of each university are what grant professional recognition to university-specific degrees. 
  • UPF guarantees the mechanisms for evaluating the quality of master’s and postgraduate degrees.

For both master’s degrees and postgraduate diplomas and courses, the requirement is to be in possession of an official university degree or equivalent.
