Course structure diagram with credits (60 per year)

In the current Spanish educational system the duration of each subject of study may last either one or two semesters. This fact was fixed for each curriculum when it was approved by the Spanish government and published in the Official Bulletin of the State (BOE). To continue to have the Spanish recognition it is necessary to maintain the structure approved by the Ministry.

Nevertheless, all our degrees have a structure that allows us to have global evaluations of the knowledge acquired by the student at the end of each semester. So, for those foreign students that spend only one semester in our university, under Erasmus or other international programs in which Ramon Llull University is involved, these evaluations will serve the student to achieve the credits allocated during such a semester.

The studies plan consists of 180 credits split in three academic courses (6 four-month period). Each credits equals 10 school hours.

The credits are split in:

•  Core subjects and compulsory subjects, 151 credits

•  Option subjects, 10 credits

•  Free configuration subjects, 19 credits
