University-accredited master

Master's Degree in Lifelong Learning in International Cooperation and Emancipatory Education (online)

Aimed at: People interested in obtaining academic and professional training in international cooperation, development and transformative education.

The Master's Degree in Lifelong Learning in International Cooperation and Emancipatory Education (online) is a university-accredited qualification of the UPV/EHU, aimed at those students who cannot follow an on-site programme. It is aimed at improving the professional skills of individuals linked to cooperation and/or education, and those linked to other fields of social action.

The Master's Degree in Lifelong Learning in International Cooperation and Emancipatory Education (online) seeks to improve the professional skills of individuals linked to cooperation and/or education, and those linked to other fields of social action. We believe that involves: broadening the critical look at the global and local reality; constantly updating the specific content related to cooperation and education, incorporating values, and developing empowering skills for professional development underpinned by social improvement and ethical criteria.

It consists of 60 credits, 54 of which are from the 12 compulsory signatures and the remaining 6 credits are for the Master's dissertation (TFM).

The research work will serve so that the students can apply the knowledge acquired throughout the course in the investigation of a topic related to the subjects taught, as well as to be able to evaluate the degree of knowledge, the investigative capacity and the mastery of the instruments that a course of these characteristics requires.

Methodology

The Master is made up of 60 ECTS credits, divided into the 12 subjects that make up the programme. These 12 subjects cover a total of 54 credits and another 6 credits are assigned to a final research project that the students must carry out. The different subjects are divided into topics that consist of one or several central readings and others of a complementary nature on which different analysis and commentary work will have to be carried out in accordance with the indications of the teaching staff responsible for each subject.

Likewise, each topic will refer to different Internet pages specialised in the subject matter of study in said unit where the information offered by different international organisations and institutions can be made available, as well as academic articles or opinion articles by experts in the subject matter of study.

Evaluation

This Master’s evaluation system, in line with the usual evaluation system of an online course, must be of a continuous nature, adjusting, logically, to the characteristics of a non-face-to-face course. In this sense, this master’s evaluation will consist of the following parts:

Students must proceed to read the central and complementary texts recommended in each subject and to carry out the evaluation and control exercises that are required in each of them.
Students must participate compulsorily in the discussion forums proposed in each subject, so that the teacher can assess and evaluate the degree of participation and knowledge of the topics under discussion.
Students must carry out a final research project, which corresponds to a total of 6 credits, for which the appropriate guidelines will be provided. This work will be an essential requirement for obtaining the corresponding title.

To obtain the degree, students must pass at least 85% of the credits, including the master’s dissertation.
