Yes, that would be great.

It has been published in a few newspapers. I can ask for the exact 
references if you need them.

In Latin America we have two agreements:

- With the Universidad Autónoma de Bucaramanga (Colombia). They are 
offering our Master programme jointly with us (the UOC) and the degree 
is officially recognised by the Colombian government. In fact, it was 
official in Colombia before than in Spain. The first few Colombian 
students start the courses in April this year.

- With the Ministry of Science and Technology of Venezuela. The UOC will 
provide the Master programme to Venezuelan students in a distance 
learning basis. The agreement has not been signed yet, but it is in the 
final stage.

Best regards,

   David
