EDUCATION
www.ucm.es/cfp
The education offered at the Complutense Uni-
versity is not limited to Bachelor’s Degrees, Mas-
ter’s or Doctorates. As an education institution,
we believe that training does not end with formal
studies and that a university’s teaching mission
must be linked to the mission of transferring our
knowledge to society. Therefore, we strongly be-
lieve in lifelong learning, which can be pursued in
our own courses, of varying duration, intensity
and mode of delivery (classroom learning, blen-
ded learning and e-learning).
Our training offer is open, flexible and up-to-date,
with courses designed to meet different needs:
professional refreshers, acquisition of new skills
or knowledge, certification of competences, or
simply just to attain more education in a specific
field.
Courses not requiring prior
university qualifications
ƒ Lifelong Learning Diploma: 15 credits or
more.
ƒ Lifelong Learning Certificate: less than 15
credits.
Intended audience?
Students and people who, working or otherwise,
are interested in updating their academic, scien-
tific or technical training, improving their pro-
fessional qualifications, reorienting their career,
entering the labour market and developing stra-
tegies and personal skills (face-to-face, blended
and online learning) throughout the academic
year. A university degree is not necessary to take
these courses.

In-house or proprietary courses

offered by Complutense
University of Madrid

Courses requiring prior

university qualifications

ƒ Unofficial Master’s Degrees: between 60

and 180 credits. These degrees are taken
over at least one academic year and require
an end-of-masters project that must be
defended before a committee.
ƒ Specialisation Diploma, between 30 and 59
credits.
ƒ Expert, between 20 and 29 credits.

Intended audience?
University graduates who wish to complete their
official training or specialise in a specific area,
through courses that are taught either face-to-fa-
ce, using blended learning or online. Schedules
