Postgraduate Certificate in Higher Education

The Postgraduate Certificate in Higher Education at UIBS is a program for students who want to further their studies in the research of higher education. Students who enroll in this program learn different academic research methods and how to apply them in teaching at the higher education level. Some of the topics studied include course design, teaching evaluation, and global perspectives on teaching. Recipients of this certificate typically use their studies to become professors.

The Postgraduate Certificate in Higher Education takes 15 credits to complete.

Both EU/EEA and Non-European students must provide the application form, the non-refundable application fee, curriculum vitae, copy of their valid passport or identity card or residence permit, copies of all relevant degrees, diplomas, certificates and transcripts (not applicable to transfer and exchange students), a letter of motivation stating their career objectives and program expectations and two passport-sized photographs. Students should have a proficiency in the English language and have obtained a business-related Master degree (or equivalent). Degrees with 180 European credits or 120 American semester credits are considered equivalent. Please note, the postgraduate programs are only available in a part-time format and part-time studies are available only for students with a national passport or residence permit, and for students who can attend seminar courses with a tourism visa.

UIBS operates on a rolling admissions process, so there are no application deadlines. Students who need a student visa should apply a few months in advance to allow time for the visa to be processed by the Spanish Consulate
