Master's Degree in Educational Quality and Innovation
Agreement with the Créate Foundation for professional internships in innovative projects
The EU 2020 Strategy, adopted by the European Council, states that one of the main objectives regarding education is to achieve early school leaving rates below 10%. One of the most important keys to face this reduction in school failure lies in the quality and, more specifically, in the quality of the teaching staff, which becomes the most effective measure to improve student performance.
In this context, the Master's Degree in Educational Quality and Innovation appears as a training specialization aimed at improving educational quality and innovation, an inseparable set, for the reduction of dropping out of the educational system and the increase in the rates of graduate students in Spain.
The purpose of this master's degree is advanced training, both theoretical and applied, in the design and implementation of plans and programs for both Educational Quality and Innovation in educational centers, all oriented towards an impact of improvement in the teaching-learning process.
As a culmination of the year in which the 5th Centenary of the death of Antonio de Nebrija is commemorated, an exhibition was organized at the National Library of Spain to show the intellectual profile of the first Spanish humanist, without ignoring the man, researcher and professor through his enormous work.

Graduate profile: A professional specifically trained in designing, implementing and evaluating Educational Quality Programs, as well as designing and applying educational innovation methodologies and tools within a learning center with all the necessary quality assurance to ensure a direct impact on student learning.
