In accordance with the new regulatory framework approved since the entry into force in our country of the European Higher Education Area, the process to be followed by any degree that has an official character is the following:

• Study plan design and approval by the University's governing bodies.
• Verification of the study plan by ANECA to determine its compliance with legal requirements.
• Authorization of the implementation of the degree by the Autonomous Community.
• Follow-up of the implementation of the plan by the Foundation to verify compliance with the commitments initially made by the University.
• Renewal of accreditation by the Foundation in which the results obtained must be verified with respect to the initial project approved.
