The recently implemented, common European Higher Education configuration, adopted by over 45 countries and known as the Bologna Process, is based on a Degree-Master-PhD structure. The Basque Country will execute the 4+1 schema: undergraduate programmes consist of 240 ECTS credits (structured in 4 years of study); masters can vary between 60 and 120 ECTS credits (1-2 years) and access to PhD studies needs the completion of a master course.
We offer a total number of 106 undergraduate programmes in our three campuses. The European Credit Transfer System allows all official syllabi throughout the continent to be easily recognized; hence, mobility opportunities are dramatically increased.
The University of the Basque Country applies the IKD model to all its syllabi. The Cooperative and Dynamic learning method is centered in student´s learning and furthermore based on training programs for faculty development in active learning methodologies; it has developed ICTs applied to education and has initiated processes of review and improvement of competences and learning outcomes in order to meet the requirements of the Bologna Process.
*Master will commence as the first promotion of the new syllabus terminates the BSc.
The University of the Basque Country offers a wide range of master programmes in all knowledge fields. Here, you will be able to read more about our masters, PhD and professional studies. While tuition will be essentially performed in Spanish, some of our programmes are taught in English language and, what´s more, seminar, laboratory and tutor work can be fulfilled in English.

Inspired by our purpose to promote education throughout all ages of life, the University of the Basque Country created, 10 years ago, specific university programmes for seniors who had been unable to attend a higher education institution in their early days. Our Degree in Human Sciences aims to spread culture and knowledge and pay tribute to the generations whom we owe today´s economic and social welfare. During these 4-year studies, pupils are lectured in World History, Literature, Philosophy, Art, Nutrition & Diet, Health, Music, Law, Computers or Psychology. Most of our senior students first enrolled at the university for academic reasons; however, it was the human factor that encouraged them to stay connected to our institution. After their graduation, most trainees apply for our University Courses for Seniors, organise cultural and social events and attend a number of our official courses, thus mingling with our younger students.
