Admission Requirements
General
academic access requirements
1. An official Spanish university qualification or an official university
qualification issued by a university in the European Higher Education Area
(EHEA) that qualifies the holder for admission to a master's degree.
2. A qualification issued by a university in a country that is not in the EHEA.
If the qualification has not been homologated, the UPC will verify that the
course of study corresponds to a level of education equivalent to an official
Spanish university degree and that the qualification obtained would provide
admission to a master’s degree in the country in which it was awarded. This
access route in no way implies the homologation of the qualification or its
recognition for any purpose other than admission to the master's degree. The
master's diploma will, however, be fully and legally valid.
In addition to these general access requirements, which apply to all master's
degree courses, specific admission requirements may be set for each programme.
3. Master's are also open to UPC bachelor's degree students who have not
awarded the bachelor's diploma because they have not completed the bachelor's
thesis and up to 9 ECTS credits (including credits pending recognition or
transfer) or they have not yet attained the cross-disciplinary competency in a
foreign language, if applicable.
The school responsible for a master's degree may set additional conditions on
credits pending for these bachelor's degree students, or prevent them from
gaining admission via this route.
Under no circumstances will students be awarded a master's degree without
having first been awarded a bachelor's diploma.
4. Holders of an official university diploma corresponding to curricula in
accordance with the first additional provision of Royal Decree 822/2021 may be
considered for admission to a master's degree provided that they
• hold an official undergraduate diploma;
• hold an official university diploma.
Specific admission requirements and criteria
In addition to the general requirements, specific admission requirements
and criteria may be set for given master's degrees. These specific requirements
may include specific access qualifications, requisites for foreign languages,
and bridging course requirements.
In all cases, what is taken into consideration includes the weighting of the
academic record.
The selection process may also include an examination and an appraisal of the
candidate's CV. Further information is available on the master's degree website.
