Access and admissions

In accordance with the provisions of Article 18 of Royal Decree 822/2021, these Master’s degree programs may be accessed by people who meet either of the following conditions:

• In order to access an official Master’s degree program, the applicant must hold an official Spanish university Bachelor’s degree or its equivalent or, where appropriate, another Master’s degree, or an equivalent degree granted by a university or higher education institution in a country belonging to the European Higher Education Area (EHEA), that allows access to Master’s-level studies in the country of issuance.
• Additionally, people who have earned a Bachelor’s degree or its equivalent in an education system outside the EHEA may access a Master’s degree program in the Spanish university system without formal recognition of their degree, provided that the university has verified that the level of training certified by the degree in question allows access to university postgraduate-level studies in the country of issuance. Access by this means in no way implies recognition of any previous degree held by the interested party or its recognition for any purpose other than participating in Master’s degree studies. 

Under exceptional circumstances, conditional enrollments may be allowed under which a Bachelor’s student who has only the End-of-Degree Project and no more than 9 ECTS credits remaining to earn the Bachelor’s degree is accepted into the Master’s degree program and permitted to enroll; however, under no circumstances will such a student be granted their Master’s degree without having first earned their Bachelor’s degree. In all cases, priority will be given to students who have fully completed and earned their Bachelor’s degree.

At least 5% of the places offered in official university Master’s degree programs will be reserved for students who have a recognized degree of disability greater than or equal to 33%, or who have permanent educational support needs associated with personal circumstances of disability and who in their previous studies have required resources and support for their full educational inclusion.
