Universitat de Barcelona (UB) deleted degree Romance Philology from the next academic year. After the adaptation of studies to the European Higher Education, Barcelona was the only university in Spain that kept this title. Now go away. “Take off the title, but no studies,” says Gaspar Rosselló, vice chancellor for academic policy and quality of the UB. The university is committed to keeping the art in Romance Philology as a journey into another title. Has not yet defined the new offer, but could be included in Hispanic Studies, says this rector.
The reason for the closure of the title is none other than the small number of students. According to the Secretariat of Universities and Research, the eleventh year students were enrolled in first grade. “And then much abandonment occurs, this June will graduate about six people,” continues Rosselló. Students who are already enrolled in this degree may finish the race, but no new students will be admitted in September, reported yesterday The diari de l’educació. Faculty of Philology reorganize titles offered for the academic year 2015-2016 with the commitment to maintain the contents of Romance. At present the faculty welcomes about 3,000 students and has ten undergraduate degrees. The Complutense University of Madrid, with more students, has five titles on offer, put exemplary from the faculty to justify “the need for change.” The UB has campaigned to promote the title of Romance Philology in the institutes and the Salo de l’Ensenyament, but demand has soared. Romance Philology is the title with fewer applications of this university. Some studies that have been an example of scholarship and the title have been missing him wise as Martin Riquer, but that the current system does nothing to encourage. In general, except philology-English-attract few students in universities. The UB is the only faculty of Catalunya with high-with the exception of Romanesque enrollment. The data consists of the Generalitat this course enrolled 43 students in Catalan Philology at the UB-unless in Classical Philology, 47, and 109 students in Hispanic Studies. But 13 students in the Autonomous Catalan Language and Literature, and in the University of Girona this title attracted 18 people enrolled. But not unattractive to students, philology are less necessary, insist from universities. The Secretariat of Universities and Research set the condition to keep the grades matriculasen a minimum of 40 students, or 20 in the case of strategic studies, and philology. Romance has failed to make the cut. The students have started a petition on change.org to continue the degree.
