It is based on the literature review of this problem in its multiple dimensions. It was constructed a three-dimensional model of analysis of the enrolled students, in a case of one institute provider of this type of education. In this part I of the study was established the profile of the student initiating the course. In a part II that will be carried out next year over the same population of students the expectable correlations between this three-dimensional profile and the success established in four hypotheses will be investigated. Then we hope to have evidences on what makes the difference to a student and to a university in achieving success um concluding master´s degree.application/pdfengopenAccessENSINO SUPERIORHIGHER EDUCATIONSUCESSO ESCOLARSCHOOL SUCCESSMESTRADOSMASTER'Sarticle
