Access requirements
In accordance with the regulations governing access to official Master’s degree courses reflected in Article 18 of Royal Decree 822/2021, of September 28, which establishes the organization of university education, in order to access official Master’s degree courses it will be necessary to hold an official Spanish university degree or another issued by a higher education institution belonging to another member state of the European Higher Education Area that entitles access to Master’s degree courses in that country. Likewise, graduates from educational systems outside the European Higher Education Area may be admitted without the need for the homologation of their degrees, subject to verification by the University that they accredit a level of education equivalent to the corresponding official Spanish university degrees and that they entitle the holder to access postgraduate studies in the country issuing the degree. Access by this route will not imply, in any case, the homologation of the previous degree held by the interested party, nor its recognition for purposes other than that of studying for the Master’s degree.
Areas of knowledge of the admission profiles:
- Architecture, construction, building and urban planning, and civil engineering.
- Industrial engineering, mechanical engineering, automatic engineering, industrial organization engineering and navigation engineering.
- Chemical engineering, materials engineering and environmental engineering.
Documentation required for the application:
- Certified copy of the official titles that he/she has, with certification of the qualifications obtained.
- For degrees other than those offered at the UPV, the programs that the applicant deems appropriate or that the Commission requires must be provided.
- At the request of the Commission, the documentation provided in foreign languages must be accompanied by a translation into Spanish or Valencian by a sworn translator.
Admission for disabled students
For students with specific educational needs arising from a disability, appropriate support and counselling services will be established to assess the needs of curricular adaptations, itineraries or alternative studies, through the support of the CEDAT Foundation of the UPV.
The CEDAT Foundation of the UPV offers information and advice to members of the university community with disabilities, as well as accompaniment and support in the classroom. In addition, it provides technical aids for study to those members of the student body who, due to their special educational needs, require it. It also promotes and manages training and employment actions for this group, both inside and outside the UPV campuses, and offers different services from its Special Employment Center.
The foundation also carries out projects for the elimination of architectural and urban barriers, comprehensive accessibility plans, accessibility audits, project reviews, advice and design of ideal accessibility models.
General information on access can be found in the Alumni Service – Access
