Therefore, a longitudinal study has been carried out during three academic years on the satisfaction of students with FDP. We have worked with 1331 students, 1014 of degree and 317 of masters distributed in 30 degrees and 23 masters. The aims of this study were: 1) Find the reliability and validity indicators of the satisfaction Scale, 2) Check if there were significant differences depending on the variables the type of studies (degree or master's de- gree) and the type of branch of knowledge, 3) Study the student improvement proposals. Results. Regarding the first objective, high reliability indicators and high validity were found (α = .87; α = .90) that were checked with a Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). In relation to the second objective, significant differences were found in the satisfaction of the students depending on the degree (degree vs. masters) and the branch of knowledge in all the items of the scale, except for general satisfaction.
