The MUAS consists of 60 ECTS. It has a duration of 2 years. The number of ECTS is divided into 10 subjects, including the Master's Thesis (TFM) and Case Studies and Applied Experiences.
The master's degree is structured as follows:
1.- Compulsory subjects: 52 ECTS.
2.- TFM: 8 ECTS.
The number of ECTS is divided into 10 subjects, including the Master's Thesis (TFM).
In the academic year 2021-2022 (first year) the student can enroll in the first four subjects, totaling 24 ECTS. In the academic year 2022/2023 (second year), the student may enroll in the remaining credits.
This Master's Degree does not include internships.
According to section 4.4 of the Degree Report NO CREDITS ARE RECOGNIZED FOR:
Credits taken in Official Non-University Higher Education.
Credits taken in Proprietary Degrees.
Credits taken for Accreditation of Work and Professional Experience.
Two important observations: Required dedication and attendance.
Those interested in pursuing this Master's Degree should bear in mind, before submitting their application, two very important issues: the degree of demand required to successfully complete the studies; and the compulsory attendance at certain times of the Course.
Studying the Master's Degree on a full-time basis (one academic year), according to the indications of the EHEA, implies a weekly dedication on the part of the student of 40 hours (8 hours per day). Each ECTS credit implies 25-30 hours of effective work by the student. In this sense, students must take into account their real possibilities of fulfilling this requirement and enroll in as many subjects as they consider they can satisfactorily pass according to their available time. Therefore, except in exceptional situations, the MUAS must be taken in two academic years, and its design is based on a pedagogical sequence: in the first year, subjects 1, 2, 3 and 4; in the second year, subjects 5, 6, 7, 8, as well as 9 (Master's Thesis) and 10 (Case Studies and Applied Experiences).
According to the regulations (see corresponding section), it is possible to study part-time, taking a minimum of 10 credits per academic year, but knowing that the time spent in the Master's program cannot exceed 4 academic years.
On the other hand, for this biennial Master's programmed 9 Face-to-Face Sessions, which will be held in Madrid, either at the headquarters of the National School of Health (c/ Monforte de Lemos 5), or at the UNED campus (c/Senda del Rey, in any of the spaces available in the Faculties located there). They will be held at the beginning of each course, and at the end of each subject; each of these sessions will take place over two days (Thursday and Friday). These sessions are used both for teaching activities and for examining the completed course. The exams or face-to-face tests will not take place in a different place or on a different date from those scheduled for the Face-to-Face Sessions. For the purposes of the face-to-face sessions and the evaluation, the Associated Centers of the UNED will not be used. In addition, participation in the Face-to-Face Sessions is compulsory and carries a mark for attendance.
The date and place of the opening face-to-face session of the 6th edition of the MUAS will be communicated sufficiently in advance to admitted students who have initiated the registration process. It is the student's responsibility to access the virtual platform (aLF) from the day the course begins.
The evaluation of the acquisition and development of competences, knowledge and skills will be carried out by means of:
Written test: which will consist of a multiple-choice exam and an exam of open questions or development.
Participation in classroom activities established in the program.
Elaboration of the case or essay, for the subject "Case studies and applied experiences".
Preparation, presentation and public defense of the Master's Thesis.
Each subject may incorporate the evaluation system or systems most appropriate to the teaching objectives.
The student will find further information on these issues within the virtual course of the Master.
