ANDORRA: A European country
The Principality of Andorra has been part of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) since the Berlin Conference (2003). Consequently, all state qualifications of its university system are fully adapted to the organisation of courses into cycles, internal quality assurance, transparency and recognition of European qualifications.
Only official Andorran qualifications are academically and professionally valid in Andorra and throughout the EHEA. The Government of Andorra establishes, by Decree, each qualification with its name, objectives and expected skills. It also establishes the entry requirements, approves the academic programmes of the universities where they are taught, issues the diplomas to students completing the courses, and registers them on the Official State Qualifications Register, a public body.
The Andorran EHEA higher education qualifications are the Advanced Professional Diploma for the short cycle (120 ECTS); the bachelor’s degree for the First Cycle (180 ECTS); the master’s degree for the Second Cycle (120 ECTS); and, finally, the Doctoral Programme for the Third Cycle.
