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

• Original or photocopy of degree certificate or proof of issue of the degree certificate
• A statement of compliance confirming that the interested party holds the stated qualification and that all of the details provided are accurate, giving authorization for these details to be verified if it is considered necessary. SEE IT
