Center responsible for teaching leading to the degree

Law school.
University of La Laguna (ULL).

Type of teaching

In person.

The University of La Laguna has had a virtual campus since the 2005-2006 academic year and has developed Virtual Teaching Pilot Projects, establishing that a maximum of 301 TP3T of face-to-face teaching and/or tutoring sessions may be conducted virtually, through the virtual classrooms available for each subject. In the 2007-2008 academic year, a total of 251 TP3T of teaching staff participated in the pilot projects, in addition to virtual classrooms for research projects, its own postgraduate programs, training plans for teaching staff and administrative and service staff, and other activities. Therefore, some activities for some subjects may be conducted in a blended learning environment.

Number of new admission places offered

An estimate is made for the first four years of implementation of the Degree based on data on first enrollment for the immediately preceding courses and the availability of classrooms at the center.

300 new places will be offered, according to a calculation based on the following data provided by the ULL's Analysis and Planning Office:

Table 1.1: Report on student access to the Bachelor's Degree in Law

Table 1.2: New entry places offered

(*) In relation to the number of new admission places to be offered, the Faculty Board has determined that the ideal number for optimal delivery of the degree is 220, requesting since 2011-2012 that this be the limit determined by the University.

Number of enrollment credits per student and academic period and enrollment requirements

Number of credits in the degree

The Bachelor's degree consists of 240 ECTS credits, which each student must complete and pass to obtain the Bachelor's degree. The degree includes five possible pathways, as specified in the Resolution of June 8, 2009, of the General Secretariat of Universities (Official State Gazette of August 4, 2009), which establishes recommendations for universities to submit application forms for official degrees in the fields of Computer Engineering, Technical Computer Engineering, and Chemical Engineering. To obtain the degree, students must complete, in addition to the basic training credits and credits common to the Computer Science branch, a full block of 48 credits corresponding to one of the five pathways.

Minimum number of European tuition credits per student and academic period, and where applicable, permanence rules

The minimum number of credits for which students beginning the degree must enroll is set annually by a decree issued by the Ministry of Education, Universities, Culture, and Sports of the Government of the Canary Islands, as well as by the regulations of the University of La Laguna.

Given the high number of students who combine these studies with other activities, a full-time and part-time enrollment system will be implemented to facilitate these studies for people already in the labor market, to promote their promotion, or to consolidate their position:

• Full-time enrollment: For the Degree in Law, the minimum number of credits to be taken in the first year is 60 ECTS credits.
• Part-time enrollment: It is also possible for students to pursue the degree part-time, for which the number of credits to be taken in the first year will be 30 ECTS.

The only applicable rules will be the academic obligations established in the curriculum: timing of studies, requirements or prerequisites, schedule compatibility of enrolled subjects, etc.

The ULL has general enrollment regulations, which take into account other student circumstances and are set out in a Circular from the General Secretariat published each academic year. These regulations are, in turn, subject to the relevant regulations approved by the Autonomous Government or the University of La Laguna.

Rules of stay

The Organic Law on Universities (Law 6/2001, of December 21, amended by Organic Law 4/2007, of April 12) in its Article 46 attributes powers over permanence at the University to the Social Council. In this regard, the Social Council of the ULL has approved various resolutions since 1986 that remain in force to this day. At its meeting held on April 26, 1999, the creation of a "Committee on Student Permanence Standards" was approved. While the committee's work was pending completion, and for the purposes of establishing common criteria for the interpretation of the aforementioned Social Council resolutions by the Secretaries of the Centers, the General Secretariat, and the Social Council, a joint circular was issued, on a temporary basis, which has since then regulated the permanence of students at the University of La Laguna. This Circular establishes the permanence of first-year students, limits the number of exam sessions to a maximum of six regular sessions, and regulates the "entitlement to a seventh session," which may be granted by the Social Council itself.

The University of La Laguna will soon submit a proposal for permanence regulations to its Board of Trustees, which is responsible for approving these regulations, in accordance with the provisions of paragraph h of section 1 of article 3 of Law 5/2009, of April 24, amending Law 11/2003, of April 4, on Boards of Trustees and Coordination of the University System of the Canary Islands. These regulations are expected to be approved before the start of the 2010-2011 academic year. (*)

(*) Finally, the Social Council approved the regulatory regulations on the matter on June 25, 2012.

Special Educational Needs

Since the 1999/2000 academic year, the Vice-Rector's Office for Students at the University of La Laguna has implemented the Program for Students with Disabilities. The program aims to ensure equal opportunities for students with disabilities and other students, integrating them into the University in all aspects affecting their studies and university life. To this end, a series of projects and initiatives are carried out annually, summarized as follows:

• Inform and advise students who are planning to enter the ULL.
• Conduct a census of students with disabilities studying at our University to ensure personalized attention.
• Address students' integration problems, understand their needs, and respond to them.
• Promote the elimination of architectural and communication barriers by conducting accessibility studies for university buildings.
• Maintain direct contact and attention with all students who attend the Program.
• Inform and advise teachers about their students' difficulties and the teaching methods that could overcome them.
• Offer the technical aids needed by students with disabilities.
• Provide information on qualifications, training courses, conferences, sports activities, and other activities related to the world of disability.
