What is the difference between bachelor’s studies and postgraduate studies?
One of the changes that the EHEA will bring to all countries is that university studies will be organized on two levels, undergraduate and postgraduate studies, and in three cycles (bachelor’s, master’s and doctorate). Bachelor’s studies will provide general training to prepare students to enter a profession. Postgraduate studies (master’s and doctoral studies) provide specialized training. In Spain, the new bachelor’s degrees have been set at 240 ECTS credits, i.e. four academic years in length. Master’s programs will require 60-120 ECTS credits, i.e. 1-2 academic years in length.
