Syllabus 2021 (in extinction)

The previous Master's Degree will be maintained for two academic years for each of the courses of the same, although the subjects will not be taught once the new Master's Degree has begun. Thus, the first course will end in the academic year 2025-2026 and the second course in the academic year 2026-2027.

Students, therefore, will have two academic years (2024-25 and 2025-26) with the right to take exams to finish the subjects of the master's degree that are still pending. In the event that they cannot finish the Master's Degree in these two academic years, they will have to request their adaptation to the new one, for which they should consult the following adaptation table.
