SPANISH EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM:
1. Spanish university degrees and diplomas
The following official degrees can be obtained at Spanish Universities:
- Bachelor, technical engineer or building surveyor (Diplomado, Ingeniero técnico or Arquitecto técnico) These are described as "first cycle" courses. They usually have a duration of three years.
- Bachelor with Honours, Engineer or Architect (Licenciado, Ingeniero or Arquitecto Superior). After completing the first cycle, students undertake a second in-depth cycle for specialisation in their respective areas and preparation for their professional area. The total duration of the studies for these degrees is usually four or five years.
- Phd ( Doctor ). Admission to doctorate studies is only possible for graduates with a Licenciado, Ingeniero or Arquitecto Superior degree. Doctorate students must complete a series of courses for two academic years with a minimum of 32 credits (320 hours) and present a doctoral thesis, which must be approved. The thesis must be original research into material related to the scientific, technical or artistic field of the doctoral programme undertaken by the student.
The autonomy of the Spanish universities enables them to also organise postgraduate and specialised professional courses which are now extremely important in the completion of a student's academic curriculum and the attainment or completion of a professional specialisation. Students who complete these courses obtain the corresponding diploma or university degree.
