The Faculty of Law at the UNAM (the biggest university in Latin America and the best located in the various rankings of universities that are performed worldwide) has undertaken a reform of its system graduation and degree, from an undergraduate system similar to ours, to a modern and flexible that offers students the following options to get your bachelor's degree in law:
1) Making a thesis and Professional Exam : basically consists in carrying out similar work to our "Memory" can choose from a total of 17 seminars a specific topic. Subsequently, this thesis must be defended before a commission candidate questioned about specific content of work and some issues related to seminar attended.
2) Graduate Studies: In this mode you get the title to take one of the "majors" offered by the Division of Graduate Studies, Faculty of Law at the UNAM (ufff, how far we this ...)
3) total claims and high academic standards: In this alternative, if you meet certain requirements can titularte notes yielding an oral examination, a) a specified area law (not three as in our case), b) a student's choice, c) and without a thesis or memory.
4) General Knowledge Exam: This is the choice of title most similar to our "beloved" (irony) Grade Examination. The big difference is that Written!
5) widening and deepening of knowledge: Finally, this possibility is, a) the realization of a seminar , b) the realization of a dissertation, c) the defense of the dissertation ( or small thesis) before a committee of three members.
Meanwhile the Faculty of Law at the University of Chile (located far behind the UNAM and other Latin American universities such as UBA and the University of Sao Paulo in the rankings above) offers students (presumably the best in the country) one degree alternative consisting of:
MAKING A MEMORY (offers its students few and Motivators "MEMORY WORKSHOPS" To facilitate this "STEP") AND GRADE ORAL EXAMINATION the structure and content does not correspond with the transformation of the curriculum of the undergraduate.
No doubt this little comparison reveals that the late are, firstly, and secondly, the large space and the big arguments that we have to move forward and build a true Public University and Excellence. We must therefore introduce
sharply this issue in the report of the Audit Commission Reform (one that should be published in the next few days) to feel our concerns and to see reflected our vision of School and College in the corrections to be made the implementation of the new curriculum
