The answer to this question depends on the courses of your chosen program of study.
Some courses are provided by UAHCS direct. In these cases, you can contact the UAHCS Student Coordinator (contact@UAHCS.com) who will answer your question or forward your question to the related module developer/teacher.
If the course that your question pertains to is a course provided by one of our external collaborators, you will have support-related information provided by their student support team.
Upon confirming the successful completion of all applicable courses and required assessment documentation, UAHCS will email your Bridging Program diploma and/or Master’s degree.
The title you will be awarded upon completion of any one of our UAHCS Master related programs is called a Master ‘propio’.
This is a ‘private’ Master award, developed and co-delivered by UAHCS, which does not receive any form of government finance related support from within Spain.
This is an award that is equivalent to a Master in most countries and is made up of the Total Learning Hours (TLHs) that are the equivalent of 60 credits within the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS).
Note, one (1) ECTS is equal to 25 Total Learning Hours wherein TLHs are made up of contact hours, self-directed learning hours, and assessment-related hours.
As a result, our 60 ECTS Master programs are each made up of 60 x 25 hours = 1500 TLHs.
Yes, you may resubmit assessments if your result is unsatisfactory. Students are also allowed unlimited exam attempts to achieve the required 80% pass rate; however, a fee applies for each attempt beyond the third.
