The studies
leading to the Master’s Degree take 90 ECTS credits in all and run for
four semesters, i.e. two annual academic sessions. The first three
semesters are devoted to lectures, workshops, tutorial supervision, and
related extracurricular activities. In the fourth semester students must
cover 18 ECTS credits in another European university following a
complementary course of studies related to English culture and sociology
and approved by their tutors in Alicante or Murcia. Alternatively, they
can cover these credits either by submitting an MA research paper or
by professional practice at choice cultural institutions.
Each ECTS credit comprises
25 hours of working load for students. This means that a 6-credit subject
totals 150 working hours. Lectures and workshops take 30 hours, tutorial
supervision 20 hours, whereas extracurricular activities plus reading,
individual study and research, formal exams and other methods of
assessment take the remaining 100 hours.
Up to 60 students can enrol
in this Master's course (30 at the University of Alicante and 30 at the
University of Murcia). In the first and third semester, the teaching will
take place at the University of Alicante, while the University of Murcia
will house the teaching in the second semester. Physical attendance is, of
course, encouraged. But those who cannot travel either to Murcia or
Alicante on a daily basis will be offered the possibility to follow
lectures by web-based videoconference at their home university and contact teachers and tutors via the
Campus Virtual as well as other electronic means.
