When are the new degrees adapted to the EHEA going to start?
In the area of postgraduate studies, a variety of official master’s and doctoral degrees have been offered since the 2006-2007 academic year in all public and private universities in Spain, including the University of Barcelona. In the area of undergraduate studies, some universities have begun to offer new degrees in the 2008-2009 academic year. The University of Barcelona has decided to start offering new bachelor’s degrees in the 2009-2010 academic year. In accordance with legislation enacted by the Spanish government, students will no longer be able to pursue studies for a diploma or a former undergraduate degree or to become a technical engineer, engineer, technical architect or architect from the 2010-2011 academic year onward. Universities must have their offering of new bachelor’s degrees ready by that deadline.
