It is regarding the Loyola University Andalusia, which has just completed the necessary processing for the delivery of the degree and has already received the approval of the Governing Council of the Government of Andalusia. However, all public universities of Andalusia have unanimously positioned themselves once morest of this “unprecedented and exceptional” measure, as well as the National Conference of Deans of Medicine who has reported him to Medical Writing. For its part, the The Andalusian Government expects, in return, a “rigorous” plan that guarantees the delivery of all the credits of that first year that should have started in September.

“We consider that legally It is not feasible to start classes three months later following the academic year has started.

However, given that the course began last September, the Board has required Loyola Andalucía to provide “rigorous and detailed” plan in which both the new teaching programming that guarantees the teaching of all the credits of the study plan for this first year, as well as the legal guarantees for the registration process and exam schedule: “Loyola is the one that has the responsibility of complying with what is established in the verification report. And that includes a minimum number of hours that they have to teach, exams, classes.”

New Medicine degree at Loyola

The Loyola University Medicine degree was left out of the new academic offering of degrees, masters and doctorates for this school year approved by the Board last July, since its study plan did not then have the reports required by the regulations. Specifically, the one issued by the Agency for Scientific and University Quality of Andalusia (Accua), attached to the Department of University, Research and Innovation, and the verification resolution of the Council of Universities, dependent on the Ministry of Universities. This motivated this academic institution to present a claim to the state body, which finally upheld it following said teaching obtained, in a documentation review process, both favorable pronouncements.
