Access requirements
In accordance with the rules for access to official Master’s degree courses reflected in Article 16 of Royal Decree 861/2010, of July 2, 2010, which amends Royal Decree 1393/2007, of October 29, 2007, which establishes the organization of official 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 the holder to access 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, after verification by the University that they accredit a level of training equivalent to the corresponding official Spanish university degrees and that they qualify in the country issuing the degree for access to postgraduate studies. 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 taking the Master’s degree.
This degree is aimed at graduates who wish to strengthen their professional qualification in order to enter the labor market, obtaining a degree that represents an added value in itself.
Admission criteria
To access the university master’s degree it will be necessary to be in possession of an official Spanish university degree or another issued by a higher education institution of the European Higher Education Area that is authorized in the issuing country. If demand exceeds supply, applications will be ranked in the following order:
1
File
The evaluation of the transcript will be expressed in a score on a scale from 0 to 10 and will be obtained from the average grade of the transcript of the degree with which the applicant accesses the master’s degree, in accordance with the provisions of article 5.3 of Royal Decree 1125/2003, which establishes the European credit system and the grading system for official university degrees valid throughout the national territory.

Curriculum
The applicant’s curriculum vitae will be evaluated, especially in those aspects that have to do with the student’s profile, work experience in the field of the Master’s program, continuous training and knowledge of foreign languages. The evaluation criteria will be proposed by the academic committee of the master’s degree. The evaluation will be expressed with a score on a scale of 0 to 10.
The academic committee of the master’s degree is the body in charge of the admission process of students to the master’s degree and whose composition is defined in the Academic Regime and Student Evaluation Regulations of the Universitat Politècnica de València.
Language requirement
Language requirement: B2 Spanish (according to CAT MUSMCC agreement 7/11/24).
Since teaching is carried out in Spanish and in order to ensure that students are able to follow all the training activities, for the admission of students from non-Spanish-speaking countries, proof of a level equivalent to B2 in Spanish will be required. The list of certificates accepted by the Universitat Politècnica de València for the accreditation of the requirement of knowledge of foreign languages is the one that appears in the updated table of certificates recognized by ACLES (Association of Language Centers of Higher Education in Spain).
Students who have completed their entrance studies in educational systems that use Spanish as the vehicular language will be exempt from this accreditation. In case of doubt about the authenticity of the certificate provided, the Academic Title Committee (CAT) reserves the right to conduct an interview to verify the student’s linguistic competence.
