This from the University's commitment to train professionals for a new present where, as a society, we face new challenges: the fight against misinformation and the need for public service journalism, which does not remain on the surface, which investigate and tell the reality to the public with data.

For this purpose, the University has signed a new agreement with the digital newspaper ElConfidencial.com, which will become the main collaborator of the Master's in the next edition of the Master's Degree in Permanent Training (2023/2024). This will make it possible to offer more financial aid to students and incorporate new content into the academic/professional study program, such as the application of Artificial Intelligence in journalistic processes.
