On the agenda, among other matters, the audited accounts of the 2018 fiscal year, the settlement progress of the 2019 fiscal year and the budget of the 2020 fiscal year for the three locations have been submitted.
Julia Parra wanted to highlight the work of the center, in which "academic regularity premium", as well as the good acceptance by the students which, through surveys, has shown their satisfaction with the teaching team and the center in general. He also wanted to underline that UNED remains one of the few centers that maintains the extraordinary exams in September, as well as the follow-up work. "posttests" to help guide alumni in the world of work.
The Director of the UNED of Dénia, Raquel Martí, has reported that the budget for the next course will be the same as the previous one. In addition, she wanted to remember that the course will begin the second week of October, maintaining the same positive enrollment figures. Among the 28 degrees and master's degrees that are being studied, the interest that students continue to show in the degrees of Law and Psychology, followed by History, stands out, but above all the surprising growth in demand for sciences, especially Mathematics.
Martí is very satisfied and hopeful with this course that starts in a couple of weeks. However, he admits that the shortage of classrooms forces them to be "tight" and to carry out a hard work of logistics, so he has taken the opportunity to ask the City Council for new spaces to occupy.
