Re: [Masterlibre-list] MoLOS Status in the countries?

[Jesus M. Gonzalez-Barahona]

Hi, Anne,

We are URJC have been a bit stuck on this matter for internal reasons.
Hopefully, we are back on track, and will be proposing an unofficial
master for next academic year (but it has not been officially aproved by
the University yet).

Saludos,

        Jesus.
