Academic year 2024-25
If you started the master’s programme on this curriculum version, you may either continue with it or request adaptation to the new version via the direct admission procedure. Please see the information on the adaptation due to curriculum modification procedure.
Adaptation process
The curriculum for the Master’s Degree in Equality Policies and Gender-Based Violence Prevention (MVI2) has been amended. A new curriculum (MVI3) will come into effect from the 2024-25 academic year. In turn, the MVI2 will begin its discontinuation process, in accordance with what is set out below:
MVI2 Discontinuation Calendar
- 2024-25: the first year of discontinuation begins for subjects on the MVI2. Teaching will be organised in line with the information below
- 2025-26: the second year of discontinuation begins for subjects on the MVI2. Teaching will be organised in line with the information below
- 2026-27: subjects on the MVI2 will have been discontinued and will no longer be available for enrolment, without prejudice to the maximum number of enrolments per subject as set out in the Academic Progress Regulations and Article 8.2.d in the Academic Regulations.
Student Admission
New students on the Master’s Degree in Equality Policies and Gender-Based Violence Prevention will follow the new version of the curriculum (MVI3) from the 2024-25 academic year.
Re-enrolment for Continuing Students
Students on the MVI2 will have two academic years (2024-25 and 2025-26) to pass the subjects required to be awarded the degree.
In exceptional cases, students who have reached the enrolment limit for a subject may request a last enrolment (without taking classes) be authorised in the following year by the relevant Pro Vice-Chancellor for teaching, who will make a decision after consulting with the programme coordinator.
The enrolment deadlines for each academic year will be published on the Centre for Postgraduate Studies website.
Teaching
Subjects from the MIV2 programme will continue to be offered with teaching, as long as the new MIV3 curriculum includes an equivalent subject.
Adaptation to MVI3
Students on the MVI2 programme who have not passed the requirements to be awarded their degree in the stated timeline, or those who simply wish to so, may request a curriculum adaptation to the MVI3, in accordance with the equivalences below.
Adaptation applications must be submitted to the Centre for Postgraduate Studies within the deadlines published for each academic year.
The fee for the curriculum adaptation process due to discontinuation will be set in accordance with the public fees published every year.

Adaptation Effects
All subjects in the record for the former version (MVI2) will be adapted to the new record (MVI3), regardless of whether they have been passed, recognised or failed. The cumulative number of exam sessions will carry over from the old curriculum to the new one, regardless of whether students have failed or were absent from any.
After the adaptation process is complete, the record for the former curriculum (MVI2) will be closed and students will continue the programme with the new curriculum to be awarded their degree.
