ANNEXED INFORMATION
ABOUT SPANISH UNIVERSITY ORGANIZATION: ACADEMIC INFORMATION FOR FOREIGN UNIVERSITIES
A. General Organization of the Course Structure
A. 1. Introduction
Within the law of Reforma Universitaria (LRU) and the document "MARC PER A LA REFORMA DELS PLANS D'ESTUDIS" ( Reform of the Study Plan) approved by the UPC's Junta de Govern (UPC's Government Board), Mataró University College of Technology has been offering the three following schemes: Technical Industrial Engineering: Industrial Electronics, Technical Engineering in Management Computing, Telecommunications Technical Engineering: Telematics
A. 2. Time Organization
Each scheme takes three academic years organized in six semesters, which are known as 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B, 3A, and 3B. They comprise a total of 225 credits. All the subjects are four-month subjects and every term takes 15 weeks approximately, a period of final exams included.
The school calendar is organized according to those two semesters, which are called Autumn semester and Spring semester. Both of them have an independent registration period, there are no September exams and the assessment methodology is based on a number of pieces of work, tests and exams done all over the semester.
A. 3. Curricular DesignThe LRU permits the student to choose a specific number of credits to facilitate non-homogeneous curricula. This fact is a suitable instrument to better adapt the student's preferencies to the different technical profiles. The curriculum structure comprises Common Credits and Variable Credits.
Common Credits correspond to that part of the curriculum which is common to all the students and permit them to achieve those basic goals on each scheme. There are two types:
-Core credits, with homogeneous contents established by law for the scheme to be officially recognized. Thus, they are compulsory to all the students.
-Obligatory credits, established by the College and, therefore, compulsory to all the students.
-Variable Credits. They constitute the variable part of the curriculum and are mainly done in the last semesters of the scheme. There are two types:
A .4. Final Project
In order to obtain the degree it is compulsory to do a final project which is performed during the last semester. The student has to choose one among a list provided by the corresponding department and he/she is assigned a project supervisor. The project can also be sponsored by industry.
A .5. Practical Work at Industry
A total of 16,5 free-choice credits can be validated through practical work at companies. Each credit will be equivalent to a minimum of 30 hours' work. Prior to this, the College and the company will have established an agreement and a proposed teacher will act as a supervisor.
A. 6. Assessment
There are two different types of assessment. On the one hand, an individual assessment of each subject, and, on the other hand, a curricular assessment of all the student's subjects according to comprehensiveness and compensation criteria.
A. 7. Entry to Spanish Second-Cycle Studies
The LRU organizes university studies in a cycle structure:
-First-Cycle Studies (3 years)
-Second-Cycle Studies (optional, two more years)
It is possible to access to second-cycle studies through direct entry or an entry with validations. Entry to Second-Cycle Studies by a student who has followed one of the schemes at our College is summarized below:
