Duration of study and study units

The number of study units varies from one stage of study to another. The initial study, which corresponds to three years, will have two semesters for each academic year, each of which includes courses appropriate to the level of the stage. In the fourth year, in addition to the theoretical courses, the student submits a project for graduation in the specialty he chooses.
