ENEB Master Thread

[IHatePickingUsernames]

Not sure if anyone noticed there's some sort of education reform in Spain and the name "titulos propios" has recently been changed and regulated to "máster de formación permanente". Will keep watch.

According to online sources:
El máster de formación permanente es la nueva denominación que deberán llevar los títulos propios de las universidades para distinguirlos correctamente de los másteres oficiales, que también pueden encontrarse como másteres universitarios. Este cambio viene recogido en el Real Decreto 822/2021, de 28 de septiembre, por el que se establece la organización de las enseñanzas universitarias y del procedimiento de aseguramiento de su calidad.
Google Translate:
The permanent training master's degree is the new name that universities' own titles must bear in order to correctly distinguish them from official master's degrees, which can also be found as university master's degrees. This change is included in Royal Decree 822/2021, of September 28, which establishes the organization of university education and the quality assurance procedure.

What does it means ?

It means that they're making it even more clear that these are professional master's degrees and not academic ones. Professional master's are also known as "terminal master's" because they are not designed to prepare students for PhD and other doctoral programs. Academic master's degrees prepare students to conduct research and write a scholarly thesis, in preparation for the research and writing required for a doctoral dissertation and defense.

In Spain, you must have an academic master's degree to apply to PhD or other doctoral programs. Therefore, the titulo propio or master propio degrees, or the newly renamed "permanent training master's degrees", are not considered equivalent to the official master's degrees. 

But, this is not the case in the USA. Here, a master's degree is a master's degree. Your MBA or other master's degree from ENEB/UI1 will not prevent you from applying to, and getting accepted into, doctoral programs in the United States. You may be made to take a research methods and/or a statistics course, but it won't necessarily bar you from being admitted.
