Admission requirements

There are two possible ways to gain admission:

A. With prior validation of a degree certificate or a certificate of an equivalent academic level, awarded by a university or centre of higher education abroad.

Students must present documentation accrediting the validation of their degree and their acceptance on their chosen postgraduate program.

B. Without prior validation of a degree certificate (including degrees in engineering and architecture) awarded by a university or centre of higher education abroad.

Under no circumstances does admission to a postgraduate studies program following alternative B imply the validation in Spain of the foreign degree held by the interested party nor the recognition of this degree for any other purpose than that of studying the corresponding program.

Students will require permission from the Rector of this University, or the person delegated for this purpose, expressly authorizing registration on the program without the prior validation of their studies, as well as documentation accrediting their acceptance on the postgraduate program.

The procedure for obtaining this authorization involves:

1. Presenting the following documentation

• Application seeking authorisation
• Official copy of the degree certificate or equivalent
• Official copy of the certificate listing the subjects taken

The official copies of the degree certificate and the certificate listing the subjects taken must be authenticated and officially translated by the appropriate diplomatic channel.

2. Requesting the authorization of the Rector

The faculty or school organising the chosen postgraduate program will be responsible for obtaining the authorization.

The application addressed to the Rector should be presented, together with the documentation listed above, to the co-ordinator of the postgraduate program.
