Pre-registration for the master\u2019s degrees offered by the Universitat Rovira i Virgili is now open at urv.cat\/master<\/a>. A total of 55 master\u2019s courses are on offer for the 2020-21 academic year, including three new courses: the Master\u2019s Degree in Medical Anthropology and Global Health, which once again is offered in collaboration with the CSIC and will be blended; the Interuniversity Master\u2019s Degree in Education in Rural Territories, coordinated by the UB, and the Master\u2019s Degree in Strategic Communication, which will change from being classroom based to blended learning.<\/p>\n

Anyone who has finished their bachelor\u2019s degree can pre-register for a master\u2019s degree, as can students in the final year of their bachelor\u2019s degree, although they will only be able to complete the registration process on successful completion of their bachelor\u2019s course.<\/p>\n

Increasingly online and part-time<\/h5>\n

The URV\u2019s master\u2019s degrees are increasingly available online; 27 courses, half of those available, are now offered online, such as the Master\u2019s Degree in Environmental Law and the Master\u2019s Degree in Educational Technology, which were among the first online master\u2019s degrees at the URV.<\/p>\n

The URV is also offering more and more blended-learning master\u2019s courses or master\u2019s degrees where the student can choose between classroom\u2013based or online learning, such as the Master\u2019s Degree in Research into Nursing Sciences\u00a0 and the Master\u2019s Degree in Computer Security Engineering and Artificial Intelligence, among others.<\/p>\n

The next academic year will also offer the Master\u2019s Degree in Strategic Communication, which will be classroom-based from January to April only, and the Master\u2019s Degrees in Social and Educational Intervention and in Classical Archaeology, which have increased their online content.<\/p>\n

This move towards online learning is intended to help students combine their studies with the competing demands of work and family commitments, as are the increased opportunities to study a master\u2019s degree part-time. To do so, students must register for a minimum of 18 ECTS credits taught face-to-face and 12 ECTS credits.<\/p>\n

Commitment to internationalization<\/h5>\n

The URV\u2019s master\u2019s course offer is also highly internationalized given that 30% of its students come from abroad. Twelve of the master\u2019s degrees are taught entirely in English and others are taught partly in English, for example the Master\u2019s Degree in Tourism Destination Management, whose compulsory subjects are all taught in English, as is one of the two specialities, Administration and Governance of Destinations. However, internationalization also means courses are offered 100% in Spanish because an important number of students come from Latin American countries.<\/p>\n

The URV\u2019s full offer of master\u2019s and postgraduate courses can be found at urv.cat\/master<\/a>, where there is also information regarding the pre-registration and registration processes and the grants available to students. Any queries may be addressed to the Student Office by email (postgrau@urv.cat), by telephone (977 77 99 44) or by videoconference.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
