The new official Master?s Degrees in Gerontology or in Mental Health and Psychological Therapies are an example of the new options available at Deusto next year, as well as the specialisation programmes in ?Intervention and Mediation with Minors in situations of Vulnerability and/or Social Conflict? and in ?Family Intervention and Mediation? or the European MA degreesin ?Transnational Trade Law and Finance? or in ?Law and Ethics in Biotechnology?. As for Deusto own degrees, we should mention the MA in SAP Technology Consulting and the postgraduate course in Air Conditioning Engineering-Executive.

Regarding the MA in Gerontology, although it will be officially approved this year, it is a programme that has been taught at Deusto as a Specialisation course for several years now. Its extensive experience in the field of gerontology has placed Deusto among the leading institutions in this educational field. Similarly, the MA in Mental Health and Psychological Therapies is but a reformulation of five existing postgraduate degrees. They have been combined to offer a high-quality, more competitive new postgraduate course. In addition, it includes a considerable number of supervised student placements. The institutions taking part in the organisation and teaching of this course include: Aita Menni Ospitalea Mental Health Hospital, the Basque Foundation for Mental Health Research (Omie Foundation), the Basque-Navarre School Association of Family Therapy (EVNTF), the Association for Health Promotion in Children and Adolescents and the Basque Association for Psychosocial Rehabilitation (ASVAR).

Concerning the postgraduate course in SAP Technology Consulting, it is a response to the increasing demand for specialised professionals both in SAP technical and functional consulting. We should not forget that 39,000 companies worldwide and over 3,700 in Spain rely on SAP applications to run their business; hence, the need to train experts in this technological field.
