  • What is a bilingual degree in the University of Oviedo?

  • Which is the admission grade for the degree in Software Engineering?

    • Like most of the degrees in the University of Oviedo there are no limited seats (numerus clausus) in the degree in Software Engineering and, hence, there is no admission grade.

      However, if you want to enroll in the bilingual itinerary you have to score at least a 7 in the English Language test in the University Entrance Exam (PAU in Spanish).

  • How are structured EHEA studies?

    • Higher Education in the EHEA is structured in two cycles:

      • A general orientation degree.
      • A specialized graduate (master).

      In the case of Spain has been chosen:

      • 4-year Degrees
      • 1 or 2-year postgraduate courses, among which the Ph. D is included

      This structure is reflected in the studies of our institution through:

      • Degree in Software Engineering.
      • Master in Web Engineering as dual graduate degrees leading to the Master (Business specialization) and / or Doctorate (research expertise).
  • What is the European Higher Education Area (EHEA)?

    • It is a common framework for the organization of educational systems of member states of the European Union.

      Among its main aims, it wants to promote the mobility of university students and other higher education centres between individual partner countries and promote the implementation of teaching and learning systems of high quality.

  • What is ECTS?

    • It stands for European Credit Transfer System and its objective is to measure the time spent by the student in acquiring the skills of a particular course or career.

      An ECTS credit represents about 25 hours of work of which 25% are courses and 75% are not.

      ECTS credits in our careers are:

      • Degree in Software Engineering = 240 ECTS.
      • Master in Web Engineering = 120 ECTS.
  • How many degrees are taught in the School of Computer Science?

    • The School offers the following degrees:

      • Degree in Software Engineering.
      • Ms.C. on Web Engineering.
      • Transition course for the Degree in Software Engineering..
      • Technical Engineer in Computer Science (Administration and Systems). Both degrees are to disappear and, hence, there is neither enrollment nor teaching.

  • Are there subjects common to all engineering degrees of the University of Oviedo?

    • Yes, subjects like "Calculus", "Algebra", "Business", "Computing Basics" and "Waves and Electromagnetism" are common to all engineering studies of the University of Oviedo (computer, chemical, industrial, etc).

      This allows for flexibility to change to other engineering studies if you think you have made a wrong choice of studies. There is a mechanism that would recognize the subjects approved that are common from an engineering course to another.
