Real Decreto 822/2021, de 28 de septiembre: Chapter VIII Art. 37: The general requirement for access to a continuing education master's degree or a specialization diploma is to have a university degree or equivalent (minimum 180 ECTS credits or 3 academic years) or, if you do not already have it, the substitute certificate or the receipt of the application for the degree and payment of the fees (if you do not already have it).

Until the 22/23 academic year, some postgraduate degree programs may, exceptionally, admit students without undergraduate studies, who are issued a certificate instead of a diploma. From the 23/24 academic year, with the application of Royal Decree 822/2021, of September 28, which establishes the organization of university education and the procedure for quality assurance, it will no longer be possible in any case.

Additional documentation:
- Academic record
- Passport size photograph (176 x 220 px. in jpg format)
- Curriculum vitae
- Candidate's cover letter

The Academic Administration will need to verify the documentation attached to the pre-enrollment.

For this reason it is necessary to verify the diploma or the diploma with Secure Verification Code/QR.

If during the registration process you attach the documentation of access to the Master of Continuing Education or Specialization Diploma with Secure Verification Code (CSV) or QR code, you do not need to send any other documentation.

However, if you do not attach the documentation with the verification code or QR, you will have to send us: Certified copy of the diploma (original copy), or diploma with secure verification code or QR.

Admission is formalized on-line, therefore, before applying, please scan the required documentation (ID card, NIE or valid passport and university degree or equivalent) to have it ready.
