These degrees lead our students to be successful in the labourmarket, so as the enhancement and reorientation of their professional careers, because alldegrees have a clear professional orientation.The second option is given by the “National Agency for Quality Assessment andAccreditation of Spain”, ANECA, which is a Foundation whose aim is to provide externalquality assurance for the Spanish Higher Education System and to contribute to its constantimprovement. In order to perform its activities (evaluation, certification and accreditation),ANECA has developed several evaluation Programmes with the purpose of integrating theSpanish system into the European Higher Education Area (EHEA).UPM is leading the Lifelong Learning Master Degree RECLAND (MSc Degree on ClimateChange and Restoration of Degraded Lands), which is currently accredited as UPM postgraduate degree, and in the future it will be accredited as an official degree by ANECA.
