ENTRY PROFILE
If you are a Spanish or European student, you must hold one of the following qualifications:
- Official Spanish University Degree.
- A degree issued by an institution within the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) that qualifies you for admission to Master's level studies in the issuing country.
If you are a student with qualifications from outside the EHEA (European Higher Education Area), you must hold a degree from an non-EHEA educational system that qualifies you for admission to master's level studies in the issuing country, and which has been officially recognized or declared equivalent to a Bachelor's or Licentiate degree by the Ministry of Education and Vocational Training.

(Exception 1) Only for students from the European Higher Education Area (EHEA): Students currently enrolled in a degree that leads to one of the qualifications mentioned above may apply, provided they complete and present proof of graduation before the end of the program. A common case is students who are awaiting the defense of their final thesis.
