Rovira i Virgili University Мaster's Degree Program in Spain

The Rovira i Virgili University (Tarragona, Spain) is announcing a competitive call for grants to study on a university Master’s degree programduring the academic year 2011– 2012. This scholarship aims to facilitate and increase the participation of new international students who fulfill the entry requirements of the URV university master’s degrees.

The URV offered 46 official university Master's degrees in the 2009-10 academic year. More than half of these are joint degrees, some in collaboration with research institutes  (ICIQ, ICAC, ICMAB) and others in association with European universities, covering almost all the fields of study available at the URV. Official university Master's degree's are the result of adapting current Spanish university studies to the European Higher Education Area, in accordance with the Bologna process of 1999 and complementary accords. The ultimate aim of this reform of the structure of university qualifications is to harmonize the length of degree programmes, the learning methods employed and the academic activities offered in European universities. This is expected to facilitate the mobility of students and their integration into the European labour market.

There are three different types of official university Master's degree: professional, designed for students to learn and acquire the skills they need to specialize in their profession of choice; research, designed for students to acquire knowledge that can be applied to the sphere of research and academic, which is a hybrid of the first two types.

International Student Week in Timisoara (ISWinT) 2011

ISWinT team is proud to announce that preparations for this year’s festival, which will take place between the 18th and 27th of July, are in full swing. ISWinT (International Student Week in Timisoara, Romania) is an international festival that gathers participants from all over the world each year since 1994. The purpose of this festival is to give the students from different countries the opportunity to communicate freely, to express their opinions in a productive manner, while enjoying a taste of our local culture. The theme for this summer is “Celebrate Innovation. Keep Tradition”. The reason behind this particular choice of words is to emphasize the antithesis that appears between tradition and innovation, two sides of a continuously flipping coin.

During the 10 days of festival the participants have the opportunity to make new friends, discover the Romanian culture, discuss and express their opinions during the workshops or while attending the conferences. As a means to relax and have fun, they get to attend parties, themed evenings, or afternoons dedicated to recreational activities, such as games, sports, or simply escape into the tranquility of nature. Romania's beautiful landscapes are revealed during the two-day trip when we will visit the surroundings of Timisoara.
