Overview

• The Comisión Permanente del Consejo de Universidades unanimously accepted the University of Granada’s appeal on 9 September, verifying the Data Science and Artificial Intelligence degree.
• The decision contradicts ACCUA’s unfavorable reports, which the university described as an exceptional reversal that validates its academic rationale.
• UGR will coordinate with the regional Consejería and the University of Jaén to finalize staffing, planning, and logistics for a 2026/27 start rather than enrolling students this year.
• The Junta de Andalucía convened an extraordinary Andalusian University Council to allow activation in 2025/26 and prepared a District Único process, though the campuses consider an immediate launch unfeasible.
• The ruling also verifies a joint Biomedical Engineering degree for Granada and Jaén after nearly two years of setbacks, with the national ministry remarking that the issue could have been resolved earlier.
