The Bachelor's Degree in Art History from the University of La Laguna has been developed in accordance with current regulations, and more specifically based on the provisions of Royal Decree 1393/2007, of October 29, which establishes the organization of official university studies, and on the various regulations issued by the University of La Laguna: the Regulations of the Undergraduate Studies Committee of the University of La Laguna (approved by the Governing Council on October 22, 2007) and the General Guidelines for the Design of Undergraduate Degrees at the University of La Laguna (Governing Council of January 30, 2008). Among other guidelines, in addition to those included in the general regulations of the Ministry of Education and Science, the following aspects should be noted:

• An elective of between a 5% and a 10%, with an offer of two elective credits for each elective credit that the student must pass.
• Include subjects or activities in which the content is taught in another European Union language, preferably English.
• The recommendation is that the 60 credits for core subjects be shared across the different degrees in the same branch, although if only 36 are scheduled, they must necessarily be shared.
• The obligation to include a minimum of 12 credits of external internships.

In accordance with ministerial guidelines and those of our own University, we decided to include optional subjects in 10%, an external internship of 18 compulsory credits, and a 6-credit assessment of the final degree project. These criteria give our draft curriculum the following structure:

Distribution of the curriculum by subject type
Type of subject	Credits
Basic training	60
Mandatory	138
Optional (credits offered)	24
Internships	12
Final Degree Project	6
TOTAL	240

1. Modules and subjects included in the study plan

The general objectives, knowledge, and competencies of the degree, outlined in Chapter 4, have been structured around four modules containing the knowledge and competencies indicated therein. As will be seen, we have opted to conceive of a module as a grouping of related subjects and courses from a disciplinary perspective. The four modules around which the subjects and courses are structured are as follows:

1. Knowledge of the General History of Universal Art as a complex, open, and discontinuous process based on the compartmentalization of historical time into units made up of periods of different duration.
2. Knowledge of the history, methods, and current issues of conservation, restoration criteria, management, protection, and dissemination of historical and artistic heritage.
3. Systematic and integrated knowledge of artistic fact.
4. Interdisciplinary and instrumental knowledge.

The organization of these modules into subjects and courses will allow us to organize and schedule all the content and competencies over the four academic years. The distribution of the modules, subjects, and courses in the degree will be as follows:
