Access and admission

Access

• Students in possession of a foreign higher education degree, issued by a higher education institution of the European Higher Education Area that qualifies them in the country of issue of the degree for access to master's degree courses may be admitted. In this case, direct access to the Master's degree or access with previous complementary training will be admitted, depending on the equivalence of the foreign degree with those referred to in the previous section.
• Graduates from educational systems outside the European Higher Education Area may be admitted without the need to have their degrees recognised, subject to verification by the University that they accredit a level of education equivalent to the corresponding official Spanish university degrees and that they are recognised in the country issuing the degree for access to postgraduate studies. In this case, direct access to the Master's degree or access with previous complementary training will be admitted, depending on the equivalence of the foreign degree with those referred to in the previous section.
• A reserve of 5 percent of the places offered is established for students with a recognised degree of disability equal to or greater than 33 percent, as well as for students with permanent educational support needs associated with personal circumstances of disability, who in their previous studies have required resources and support for their full educational inclusion.
• Exceptionally and with conditional enrolment, students who still have to pass the TFG (or equivalent) and a maximum of up to 9 ECTS credits may be admitted. The circumstances leading to this exceptionality will be set out in the Master's regulations. The Academic Committee will be the body that will decide on the relevance of the exception.

Direct Admission

• Students who have previously completed the following (or similar) studies may access this Master's program without any additional training:
  • All graduates in the fields of Engineering and Architecture.
  • Graduates in Social Sciences and Law:
    • Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration and Management.
    • Bachelor's Degree in Business Data Analytics.
    • Bachelor's Degree in Applied Statistics

Admission with Supplementary Coursework

In cases where direct admission to the Master's program is not possible, students must complete the supplementary course "Introduction to Project Management" to acquire the required skills. Students who will be required to complete supplementary training are those who have previously completed the following (or similar) studies:

• Graduates in the Science field:
  • Bachelor's Degree in Mathematics (Science branch, Mathematics and Statistics area)
  • Bachelor's Degree in Physics (Science branch, Physics and Astronomy area)
  • Bachelor's Degree in Statistics (Science branch, Mathematics and Statistics area).

The supplementary training has been designed to allow students to complete it with a high degree of autonomy. Therefore, the start and end dates can be agreed upon by the student with the program coordinator with some flexibility, provided that the time available to complete the required training is sufficient to acquire the necessary skills.

For reference, the estimated workload for a 3 ECTS course is 2 weeks, with a commitment of 8 hours per day. Supplementary training courses will be offered between January and July.

In any case, these supplementary courses must be completed before the start of the academic year, so interested students must properly manage the completion of this training.

Admission

The body responsible for the admission of students is the Academic Committee of the EPS of Mondragon Unibertsitatea.

Once the access requirements have been met, the admission of students will be based on the following two criteria:

1. The student’s academic record.
2. The academic curriculum of the students (previous accredited training)

Students shall be required to have achieved level B2 (of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages: Learning, Teaching, Assessment), or an equivalent qualification, for the English language, to be admitted to the Master’s degree course, in order to ensure that students have reached a sufficient level to ensure follow-up and learning, and achievement of expected results. In addition, foreign students from countries with official languages other than Spanish will be required to have a B2 level or equivalent in Spanish.
