The recently implemented, common European Higher Education configuration, adopted by over 45 countries and known as the Bologna Process, is based on a Degree-Master-PhD structure. The Basque Country executes the 4+1 schema: undergraduate programmes consist of 240 ECTS credits (structured in 4 years of study); masters can vary between 60 and 120 ECTS credits (1-2 years) and access to PhD studies needs the completion of a master course.

The School of Informatics has a large tradition as a research centre in different fields of computer  engineering and 93% of the teaching staff have a doctoral degree. So there are several master's degrees.

The Master's degrees offered in the Faculty are:

• (In Spanish) Informatics Engineering (IIM)
• (In English) Erasmus Mundus - Language and Comunication Technology (EMLCT)
• (In English & in Basque ) Language Analysis and Processin - Hizkuntzaren Azterketa eta Prozesamendua (HAP-LAP)

• (In Spanish) Ingeniería Computacional y Sistemas Inteligentes (KISA) and KISA On-Line
• (In Spanish) Ingeniería de Sistemas Empotrados (ISE)

IIM and KISA are the gate to  Computer Engineering PhD Program. And, HAP/EMLCT are the gate to the Language Analisys and Proccessing PhD Program.
