Admission
Applicants start through the information request form on each programme page. The admissions office checks the applicant's previous studies against the requirements of the degree and decides within 10 days; certified copies of all required documents must then be sent. For official master's degrees, applicants need an official Spanish university degree or one from the European Higher Education Area that gives access to master's study. Graduates of other systems can apply without having their degree homologated, after the university checks that it is of an equivalent level. Some master's degrees have their own access routes.
