Guía para vivir y trabajar en Bizkaia

The Basque university system is part of the European Higher Education Area, also known as the Bologna process.

 

The Bologna Plan is based on a flexible system of easily readable and comparable degrees, in order to promote the employment opportunities for students and encourage their mobility, while also aiding the international competitiveness of the European Higher Education System. The qualifications which can be obtained are:

• Approved qualifications: Officially valid across Spain.
• Own qualifications: only recognised by the universities providing those courses.

 

New system of university qualifications:

This is based on Graduate and Post-Graduate, which together are structured into three cycles:

• First Cycle or Graduate: basic teaching and general training aimed at preparing students for professional activities. Passing this Cycle will give the student the right to obtain the corresponding qualification in accordance with that agreed by the Government.

• Second Cycle or Post-graduate: advanced education, of a specialist or multi-disciplinary nature, designed for an academic or professional specialisation or to begin research activities. Passing this Cycle will give the student the right to the Master's qualification.

• Third Cycle: advanced training in the techniques for creating and presenting a PhD thesis. Passing this Cycle will give the student the right to obtain the Doctoral qualification (the highest academic qualification in higher education and one which prepares the student for teaching and research)
