In these days the universities are presenting to the CUN, the National University Council, the proposals for the opening of new courses graduation. The reading of the data shows a strong increase in degree in medicine and science.
The total number of requests stands at 192 for 2021/22, so it appears to be in line with those submitted last year, when there were 194.
The most interesting data, however, is that relating to the increase in courses in technical-scientific field. The extraordinary health context we are experiencing could have influenced this detail.
While waiting for the training offer for next year to be perfected, some universities are already starting with i Entry test.
The most popular courses: medicine and science at the top of the rankings
Analyzing in detail the proposals put forward to the University Council, the area to which most of the requests refer is that medica: the proposals put forward by the universities are 30. The second area of interest is the historical, philosophical, psychological and pedagogical one: for this area the questions were 26.
Only in third place do we find degrees in industrial and information engineering (25), which a year ago had instead won first place.
If you then go into the details of the individual courses, both the technical-scientific news, with 69 proposals, that the life sciences (52 against 43 the previous year).
The class with the most new proposals is the LM-41 (Medicine and Surgery), ahead of LM-91 (Techniques and methods for the information society).
Down by 6 points le humanistic-social degrees, which however maintain the second position for overall courses. At the bottom remains the faculty of physics, with only one request.
