It currently has 172 places, 719 people enrolled, 47 teachers from the institution, 57 associate teachers and 58 assistant teachers.

In addition to the degree, the centre offers two doctoral programs with the participation of foreign teachers, an official master’s degree with three different itineraries and several own degrees.
