Mobility and exchange of students and teachers
The student has the possibility of taking some of the Master's subjects at other universities that offer postgraduate courses with similar characteristics. In the same way, the Master accepts professors from these universities to teach a subject or seminars in Valencia. This is possible thanks to the collaboration that IUDESCOOP maintains with the ENUIES Network and the RULESCOOP Network, among others.
Since the 2013-14 academic year, there is also the possibility of completing the Double Degree with the 'Master Management dell'Economia Sociale' at the University of Bologna, in Italy.
