Students can choose among nearly 60 master's degrees in all fields of knowledge taught in the UPV. The cost of the enrolment in these Master'cs Degrees is subsidized and regulated by the state and Valencian authorities. Due to this reason, this cost is usually considerably lower than that of the non-official degrees (which are not subsidized). Moreover, students can ask for the grants that the Spanish Ministry, the Valencian Government and the UPV itself offer.

On the other hand, the aim of a PhD program is the advanced formation of students in the research techniques. It includes a formation period and a research period oriented to the elaboration and the public defense of the PhD thesis, which is an original research paper. The current UPV offer agrees with the most demanding quality systems of the Spanish Higher Education.

The Universitat Politècnica de València has an interesting list of non-official master's programs, university specialist programs and professional specialist programs. It offers these programs through its Life-long Learning Centre (CFP).

These non-official postgraduate courses direct their contents towards the professional world. The teaching staff is made up of highly qualified UPV teachers and professionals of the business sector. The UPV non-official master's programs cover different areas of knowledge as management, building and town planning, computer science, communications, industry, art, restoration and agri-food.
