In an increasingly competitive, specialized, and demanding job market, pursuing a master's degree is more necessary than ever, as it allows for expanded training and greater possibilities of obtaining a job or progressing professionally. The University of Girona (UdG) responds to this need by strengthening its master's degree offerings oriented towards academic, professional specialization, or research initiation, and by strongly committing to internationalization and direct connection with future professional sectors.For the 2026-27 academic year, the UdG has scheduled around fifty official master's degrees, nineteen of which are interuniversity master's degrees and two are Erasmus Mundus programs. In addition, it has incorporated double degrees in strategic areas, thus expanding the possibilities for specialization and differentiation in the labor market.The pre-registration period for this year's master's degrees ends on September 15th, except for the Master's in General Health Psychology, which ends on July 17th. This year, the UdG has brought forward the end of pre-registration to June 14th for non-EU students, as this allows them to obtain the necessary documentation in time for their transfer to Girona to start the course this September.International projection

The international dimension is one of the priority axes of the UdG. Especially in the Mediterranean and Ibero-American spheres, the Girona university promotes global research networks, international double degrees, and mobility programs that allow students to enrich their academic and professional profile.In recent years, the University of Girona has recorded a sustained increase in international master's students. This reinforces the institution's global character and generates a diverse and dynamic academic environment. Seven of the master's degrees are taught exclusively in English, four in Spanish, and the rest in Catalan.Specialization in strategic areas

The different master's degrees offered by the UdG are included in eight fields of knowledge: Molecular Biology, Biomedicine and Health; Human Sciences, Heritage and Culture; Law; Economics and Business; Education and Psychology; Environment and Chemistry; Technology and Tourism. All master's degrees stand out for their professionalizing approach and their connection with key areas of development. Among the studies recently introduced are the university master's degree in Communication and Politics and the double degrees in Industrial Engineering and Data Science and in Industrial Engineering and Mechanical Engineering of Materials and Structures.

In Bàsquet Girona's last home game at the Fontajau pavilion, against Andorra, play was interrupted several times due to repeated power outages. The local team ended up winning the match, but the opponent managed to close the gap during the pauses caused by technical problems, which distracted the Girona players. It was the weekend of March 15th, the one with strong winds in the northeast of Catalonia, but the same situation had already happened before. In January, for example, in the EuroLeague game between Uni Girona and Galatasaray, the initial whistle sounded an hour late due to the same problem. And this March, against Casademont Zaragoza, the court went dark again with one minute left to play, with Uni two points down. The interruption broke the team's positive momentum and the home team ended up losing by three points.

Being a child of immigrant origins makes it harder to pursue a satisfactory educational path, with a secondary school diploma and formal post-compulsory education. In Catalonia, for example, three out of ten adolescents of immigrant origin drop out of school prematurely, three times that of young people of Spanish nationality, and the case of Roma students is particularly flagrant, with a dropout rate exceeding 80%. Miguel Jiménez, Hatim Azahri, and Déguène Eufemia Seck are three young people who have experienced these abuses firsthand, but, despite the difficulties, have managed to move forward: they have completed university studies and now work as activists to ensure that new generations have more opportunities. Roma students as problematic, which means they no longer dedicate themselves with the same effort, and it generates frustration and a very low self-perception among us Roma, which reproduces this stigma," explains Miguel Jiménez, member of the Fundación Secretariado Gitano. And, speaking of his experience, he adds: "I'm from Terrassa, 4th year of ESO, a teacher looked me in the eyes and told me and to make it clear that I was here, in class, and from then on I started studying, first a higher degree and then social integration at university." However, Jiménez points out that there is still a lot of work to be done because now, when he wants to enroll his daughter in school, he has seen how the community.
