Article 9 of Royal Decree 1834/2008 of 8th November defining the training necessary for professional practice as a teacher in compulsory and post-compulsory secondary education, vocational training and specialist subject education and establishing secondary education teaching specialisations, indicates that “In order to undertake professional practice as a teacher in compulsory and post-compulsory secondary education, vocational training and foreign language education, it is necessary to hold an officially recognised Master’s Degree accrediting teacher training”. 

Accordingly, the fundamental objective of this Master’s Degree course is to provide students with an advanced training in teaching aimed at professional practice, which will equip students for professional practice in compulsory and post-compulsory secondary education, vocational training and specialist subject education.
