The study plan is spread over four academic years.

Since the 2017-2018 academic year, first year students are offered the opportunity to take a "Mathematics Zero Course" aimed at students who want to reinforce their previous knowledge of mathematics. This subject is not part of the curriculum, and is currently taught only in Spanish.
