Admission and enrollment

Admission:

The requirements for access to the proposed title are according to article 18, of Royal Decree 822/2021, of September 28:

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.

Recommended requirements:

The specific degrees that will facilitate direct access to the Master are the following:

Degree in Computer Engineering
Degree in Software Engineering
Degree in Computer Engineering
other related degrees.

Additionally, Section 4.2 of the Agreement of the Council of Universities, which establishes recommendations for the proposal by universities of application reports for official degrees in the fields of Computer Engineering (Resolution of June 8, 2009, of the Secretariat General of Universities), establishes the following conditions of access to the Master in Computer Engineering:

4.2.1 Anyone who has previously acquired the skills listed in section 3 of Annex II of this Agreement, which establishes the recommendations for the verification of the Official university degrees linked to the exercise of the profession of Technical Engineer in Computer Science, and their training must be in accordance with that established in section 5 of Annex II above.
4.2.2 Likewise, access to the Master will be allowed when the degree certificate of the interested party certifies having completed the basic training module and the module common to the branch, not yet covering a complete block of the specific technology module, and 48 credits of those offered in the set of blocks of said module of a degree linked to the exercise of the profession of Technical Engineer in Computer Science, in accordance with this agreement.

The previous sections shall be understood, without prejudice to the provisions of article 17.2 and in the fourth additional provision of Royal Decree 1393/2007, of October 29.

Candidate selection:

In the event that the demand exceeds the supply of places, the candidates will be selected taking into account the academic record and the curriculum.

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.

Renewal of accreditation

The renewal of the accreditation represents the culmination of the implementation process of the official Bachelor's and Master's degrees registered in the Register of Universities, Centers and Degrees (RUCT). The renewal of the accreditation of official bachelor's and master's degrees is organized in three phases: self-assessment report, external visit and final assessment.

In the first phase, the university describes and assesses the status of the degree with respect to the established criteria and guidelines. The result is the Self-Assessment Report (IA) that is presented. The second and third phases are carried out by a group of evaluators external to the evaluated title.”
