ADMISSION AND ENROLLMENT
3.1.a) Regulations and general access procedure
Information on access and admission of students to master's studies is available at: https://www.urjc.es/estudiar-en-la-urjc/admision/274-master
The regulations are also published in: https://www.urjc.es/estudiar-en-la-urjc/admision/274-master#normativa-de-masteres-universitarios
3.1.b) Criteria and procedure for admission to the degree
The general requirements for access to University Master's Degrees are, according to article 18 of Royal Decree 822/2021, of September 28, which establishes the organization of university education and the procedure for ensuring its quality, the following:
1. Possession of an official Spanish Bachelor's or equivalent university degree is a condition for access to a Master's degree, or where applicable, having another Master's degree, or degrees of the same level as the Spanish Bachelor's or Master's degree issued by universities and higher education institutions of a country of the EHEA that in that country allows access to Master's studies.
2. Similarly, individuals holding degrees from educational systems outside the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) that are equivalent to a Bachelor's degree may access a Master's program within the Spanish university system without requiring official recognition of their qualifications. However, the university will need to verify the level of education conferred by the degree, provided that the country where it was issued allows access to postgraduate studies. Under no circumstances will access via this route imply official recognition of the applicant's prior degree or its recognition for any purpose other than pursuing the Master's program.
3. Universities shall guarantee transparent and accessible information on admission procedures and shall have student guidance systems in place. They shall also ensure that this information and admission procedures take into account students with disabilities or specific needs and shall provide appropriate support and counseling services.
4. Universities may exceptionally establish, based on specific regulations approved by their governing bodies, procedures for conditional enrollment in a Master's program. This will allow undergraduate students who have only their final degree project (TFG) and a maximum of 9 ECTS credits remaining to complete to access and enroll in a Master's program. However, they will not be able to obtain the Master's degree without first obtaining their undergraduate degree. Universities will guarantee priority enrollment for students holding an official undergraduate degree. This procedure may take into account credits pending recognition or transfer from the undergraduate degree, or the requirement to demonstrate a certain level of proficiency in a foreign language for obtaining the degree.
5. Universities or centers will regulate admission to Master's degree programs, establishing specific requirements and, if necessary, supplementary training, the credit load of which may not exceed 20 percent of the total credit load of the degree. Credits for supplementary training will have the same status as the other credits in the Master's degree curriculum.
6. Universities will reserve at least 5 percent of the places offered in official university Master's degrees for students who have a recognized degree of disability equal to or greater than 33 percent, as well as for students with permanent educational support needs associated with personal circumstances of disability, who in their previous studies have required resources and support for their full educational inclusion.

External Internships
The External Practices subject is a curricular subject whose main objective is to promote a comprehensive training of the student through the practical application of the knowledge acquired during the Master's degree, which facilitates direct contact with the professional activity and the opportunity to join the professional world with a minimum of experience.
