AQU Catalunya opens an application period annually for the modification of undergraduate, master's and PhD programmes. This year, the Agency has received a total of 162 applications. Of these, 60 are bachelor's, 93 are master's and 9 are doctoral degree programmes.
In terms of field, most of the applications received belong to the social sciences. The table below shows the breakdown by Committee:
Arts and Humanities | 20 |
Social and Legal Sciences | 73 |
Experimental Sciences | 8 |
Health sciences | 23 |
Engineering and Architecture | 29 |
Doctoral programmes | 9 |
Traditionally, until this year, the application period had been open in February and March, with the aim that the modifications could be implemented in the next academic year. However, in order to provide a more appropriate response to the needs of the Catalan university system and to optimise the work of the specific assessment committees, the Institutional and Programme Assessment Committee (CAIP) agreed to modify the call schedule, as we published recently. From now on, two application periods will open:
- for substantial modifications, from 15 October to 15 January
- for non-substantial modifications, from 1 February to 31 March.
