Access requirements
The conditions for access to the Master’s Degree in Forestry Engineering are those established in Article 16 of RD 1393/2007 of October 29, 2007, as amended by RD 861/2010, and those indicated in the order CIN/326/2009 establishing the requirements for the verification of official university degrees that enable the exercise of the profession of Forestry Engineer.
To access the master’s degree, the student must be in possession of a bachelor’s degree. The reference degree for access is the Degree in Forestry and Natural Environment Engineering of the UPV. Therefore, this is considered as the reference degree and its graduates, according to the established merit assessment criteria, will be admitted, if applicable, without training complements to the aforementioned Master’s Degree.
The rest of the degrees give access to the master’s degree, although an individualized study of each situation will be required to determine the necessary training complements for admission, depending on the student’s origin. The ERT will establish the educational complements that must be completed, which, in any case, will be considered prerequisites for admission.
Graduates in Technical Engineering from the previous regulation must obtain, by means of the itinerary established for adaptation, the corresponding Bachelor’s Degree.
In addition to the above, it will be considered a preferential requirement for admission the accreditation of the B2 level in a foreign language and the university access grade, in the terms regulated by the UPV.
Admission for disabled students
Para el estudiantado con necesidades educativas específicas derivadas de una discapacidad, se establecerán servicios de apoyo y asesoramiento adecuados para evaluar las necesidades de adaptaciones curriculares, itinerarios o estudios alternativos, a través del apoyo de la Fundación CEDAT de la 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.
