Admission and enrollment
General access regulations and procedures
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
Criteria and procedure for admission to the degree
- Possession of an official Spanish Graduate or Graduate university degree or equivalent is a condition for accessing a Master's Degree, or, where appropriate, having another University Master's degree, or titles of the same level as the Spanish Bachelor's or Master's degree issued by universities and higher education institutions in an EHEA country that in that country allow access to Master's degrees.
- In the same way, people in possession of titles from educational systems that are not part of the EHEA, which are equivalent to a Bachelor's degree, will be able to access a Master's Degree in the Spanish university system, without the need for homologation of the title, but verification by of the university of the level of training that they imply, as long as in the country where said title was issued it allows access to university postgraduate level studies. In no case will access through this route imply the homologation of the previous degree held by the person concerned or its recognition for other purposes than that of carrying out the Master's degree.
- Universities will guarantee transparent and accessible information on admission procedures, and must have student orientation systems. Likewise, they will ensure that said information and admission procedures take into account students with disabilities or with specific needs, and will have appropriate support and advice services.
- Universities may exceptionally establish, based on specific regulations approved by their governing bodies, conditional enrolment procedures for access to a Master's Degree. This will consist of allowing a Bachelor's student who has not yet completed the TFG and a maximum of 9 ECTS credits to access and enrol in a Master's Degree, although in no case will they be able to obtain the Master's degree if they have not previously obtained the Bachelor's degree. Universities will guarantee priority in enrolment for students who have an official university degree of Graduate. In this procedure, credits pending recognition or transfer in the Bachelor's degree, or the requirement to pass a certain level of knowledge of a foreign language to obtain the degree, may be taken into account.
- Universities or centres will regulate admission to Master's degree courses, establishing specific requirements and, if necessary, training supplements, the credit load of which may not exceed the equivalent of 20 percent of the degree's credit load. The credits for training supplements will be considered in the same way as the rest of the credits in the Master's degree curriculum.
- Universities will reserve at least 5% of the places offered in official Master's degrees for students who have been recognised as having a disability of 33% or more, 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.
ADMISSION
The Rey Juan Carlos University does not have specific admission regulations, but is governed by article 18 of Royal Decree 822/2021, of September 28. Each degree has its own general access criteria and special access tests.
However, according to the Regulations for Teaching Coordination positions at Rey Juan Carlos University, approved by the University's Governing Council on April 19, 2024, article 4.11 states that the process of "admission of students to official master's degrees" is part of the functions related to the academic planning of the degree and the Internal Quality Assurance System, and that, therefore, the director or co-directors, together with the coordinator, are responsible for the admission process.
GENERAL ACCESS CRITERIA:
The Master's in International Tourism Management can serve as a continuation of undergraduate tourism studies, opening doors to better career advancement and improved professional performance. However, the program is also open to students from diverse fields, including the humanities, economics and business, law, anthropology, and sociology. This allows them to specialize in tourism for students in these disciplines. Furthermore, the program offers a second chance for tourism professionals seeking to return to higher education with a view to better job opportunities or career advancement.
The specific qualifications that will facilitate access to the Master are the following:
Bachelor's Degree in Tourism and Double Degrees in Tourism with other qualifications
Students with degrees such as Business Administration, Marketing, History, Engineering, Anthropology, Philology, Translation and Interpreting, Sociology and others within the fields of Legal and Social Sciences, Humanities and Arts will be able to access the Master's program.
CONDITIONS OR SPECIAL ACCESS TESTS:
If necessary, assessment of the student's curriculum, based on their professional experience, their projection in relation to the objectives of the master's degree, as well as their academic record.
Criterion “Academic record”
The evaluation of the academic record will be based on a review of the official degree and transcript submitted by the student during pre-registration, which are required for admission to the master's program. As stated in the "General Admission Criteria," the master's program is aimed at professionals in Tourism, as well as those from other areas of Law and Social Sciences, Humanities, and Arts.
Criterion “Professional Experience” (30%)
The assessment of professional experience will be done by reviewing the Curriculum Vitae that the student includes in the pre-registration, differentiating between “Professional experience in Tourism”, “Professional experience not in Tourism, but related to the entry profiles”, “Professional experience not related to the entry profiles nor to Tourism” and “No professional experience”.
Criteria “Languages” (20%) and “Other (linguistic knowledge of a language other than the one in which the master's degree is taught)” (10%)
Language assessment is carried out according to the specific admission requirements for university master's degrees at URJC, which considers Level B2 in the mandatory language for teaching the master's degree as a minimum requirement.
If the minimum required level is not demonstrated, the application will not be considered. If the minimum required level is demonstrated, the "Languages" section will be weighted at +20. A B2 level in Spanish will not be required for Spanish speakers of Spanish nationality or from Latin American countries where Spanish is the official language. In these cases, the weighting will be +20.
If the student provides official certification of proficiency in a second language, this will be assessed in the section "Other (linguistic knowledge of a language other than the one in which the master's program is taught)" provided that this second language is:
- Minimum B1 level of Spanish required for the Master in International Tourism Management
- Minimum B1 level of English required for the Master's Degree in International Tourism Management
No specific tests beyond the personal interview are established to verify the merits submitted in the student's pre-registration. The selection process is governed by the Manual for Managing the Self-Registration Process for University Master's Degrees, prepared by the School of Official Master's Degrees.
In this way, with a selection test:
