PROGRAM OVERVIEW
What this program offers
A university-awarded, tuition-based shoulder fellowship rather than a salaried employment post. The official 2026–27 listing publishes its exact dates, fee, credits, teaching languages, director and specialist target audience.
BENEFITS & SUPPORT
Published benefits and support
60 ECTS and a University of Barcelona lifelong-learning master's degree certificate
Benefits may depend on appointment type, training level, visa status and the active academic year. OrthoFellow keeps stipend and benefits separate so a salary figure is not mistaken for the full package.
