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 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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 861/2010, of July 2. Each degree has its own general access criteria and special access tests.

Admission to the Master's Degrees will be carried out through a selection process; in some cases, that process may involve a selection test. The Direction of the Master will communicate to the interested parties what the selection test will consist of, as well as the exact date and place of its realization through this application and by means of an email notice.

GENERAL ACCESS CRITERIA:

It is aimed at students with a previous university degree in Health Sciences. The specific qualifications that will facilitate access to the Master's program are the following:

Bachelor's or Degree in Chemistry, Biochemistry, Biotechnology, Biology, Medicine, Pharmacy, Veterinary Medicine, Degree in Biomedical Engineering, Degree in Biomedicine, Degree in Computer Science, or Degree in Health Biology.

Students will choose their training path (dual or conventional). If there is an excess of applicants for one of the paths, the following criteria will be applied to select students.

CONDITIONS OR SPECIAL ACCESS TESTS:

In the event that the number of applications exceeds the number of places offered, a selection will be made based on the following criteria for each place (ordinary and disability or victims of terrorism or gender violence):

1. Average grade of academic record: 60%.
2. Previous knowledge in the subject accredited: 30%.
3. Motivation: 10%. The level of motivation will be assessed through a cover letter, letters of recommendation, and, if necessary, an interview.

Likewise, for access to the dual mention, if there are more applications than available places (which corresponds to 25% of the master's students), the priority selection criterion will be the academic record (100%).

In the event of equal academic records between candidates, the following criteria will apply:

• Previous experience in research laboratories and internships in companies in the biotechnology sector, up to 80 points (80%).
• motivation letter, up to 20 points (20%) considering the alignment with the professional objectives of the master's degree.

Candidates will be notified of their eligibility for the dual mention with sufficient advance notice in case they ultimately prefer the conventional mention.

POSSIBILITY OF WITHDRAWING THE DUAL MEMBERSHIP. Students pursuing a Dual Mention may withdraw from the program provided they have not passed half of the credits required to obtain the aforementioned Mention. These students may complete the master's degree with the conventional mention at their own request or because their academic performance indicates it. These students may complete the master's degree with the conventional mention if they have passed at least 50% of the courses taken at the time of the request. The procedure for withdrawing from the dual mention program consists of a reasoned request submitted through the electronic registry by the student. The request must be addressed to the master's coordination committee, which will prepare a report once the decision is reached and notify the student.

Offer of places: 20 seats. If the minimum number of students envisaged is not reached in a course, the University may choose not to open the teaching group.

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. All practices are designed so that the students who participate in them acquire professional experience in real situations and conditions, applying the knowledge, skills and attitudes that are acquired in the training processes throughout the degree. The internships represent a decisive opportunity for the personal development and professional future of the students.

Internships are activities carried out by the student in companies, institutions and organizations; that is, in centers outside the university premises, which aim to enrich and complement your university education, while providing you with a deeper knowledge about the skills you will need once you have graduated.

The External Practices subject will consist of two phases:

• Completion of the internship period that offers professional experience related to any of the graduate profiles that are expressed in the Verification Report of the degree.
• Elaboration of the memory
