Clinical Training

The clinical training is one of the modules of the Master and we will arrange it for you in a clinic or hospital near you. The minimum amount of clinical training hours are 100 and the maximum are 250. The number of hours is agreed upon between you and the clinic, with us as mediators.

However, if you have worked in the field for more than 3 years, and you do not wish to do the clinical training, you can get an exemption.

Master´s Thesis

A tutor will be assigned to the students to guide and supervise them through the Thesis –Writing Process. The Master´s thesis should be an original piece of work which demonstrates that students are able to apply the knowledge acquired from the Master. The Master´s thesis will be related to any topic as far as it is related to the subjects taught on the Master.

Methodology

The methodology of this Master is adapted to the e-learning model. Our classes are asynchronous, i.e. it is not necessary to be in the campus on a determined schedule.

This model is extremely flexible allowing you to study around existing work and family commitments. The majority of our students are also working while they study online with us.

The Master consists of 10 modules, with a duration of one month each. You will find the course content available from day one. The student must submit the assignments proposed by the teacher, as well as the questionnaires that they may contain.

The programme is developed in a continuous evaluation. The assessment of each module can be made up of tutor-marked assignments, usually essay or short-answer questions, clinical cases, etc. and computer-marked assignments which are made up of a series of questions and you choose the answers from a given selection. The final mark will be the arithmetic mean of the marks obtained in the assignments. Marks are expressed in numbers from 1 to 10, where a 5 or over is considered a Pass.

The distance learning model combines teaching through virtual classroom, tutorial support and online self-learning.

The students of the Master are connected and in constant communication through the discussion forums and the internal messaging of the virtual campus itself. This will help them solve doubts by exchanging knowledge and acquiring greater skills when it comes to passing the course.

If the convention applies between two countries, such apostille is sufficient to certify a document’s validity, and removes the need for double-certification, by the originating country and then by the receiving country.
