MSc Programmes with Professional Certification
The higher education system provides for degree programmes that qualify graduates for admission to or the exercise of regulated professional activities in Spain. The conditions to be met by the curricula of such programmes are established by the Government to guarantee that the degrees certify that the holder is in possession of the proper competences and knowledge to exercise the profession (Royal Decree 967/2014 Appendix I).
NB: Documents issued in a language other than Spanish or English (UPM working languages) shall have to be duly translated before submission.
Eligibility requirements for Appendix I MSc programmes:
- Accredited university degree certificate issued by Spain, European Union member states or European Economic Area Agreement signatories or proof of having applied for the aforesaid certificate.
- If the accredited degree was earned outside of Spain, the student shall have to submit the Official Recognition Decision / Homologation issued by the Spanish Ministry of Universities as any of the degrees entitling the holder for admission to the respective MSc degree with professional certification.
- Accreditation of B2 level in English according to the European Common Reference Framework for Languages (CEFR).
Regular MSc Programmes
Any programmes that do not have qualify students to exercise a regulated profession in Spain.
Eligibility requirements for regular MSc programmes (not listed in Appendix I):
- Accredited university degree certificate issued by Spain, European Union member states or European Economic Area Agreement signatories or proof of having applied for the aforesaid certificate.
- Duly legalized higher education degree issued by other education systems. This is an alternative procedure to official recognition, whereby the issuing country accredits that the degree is valid and has been issued by the competent authority. Generally, it is identified by the Hague Convention Apostille, See here for a list of Convention signatories.
The duration is established according to Royal Decree 1393/2007 (amended by Royal Decree 861/2010), repealed by the Royal Decree 822/2021, organizing accredited higher education programmes. Article 17 Guidelines for the design of MSc degree programmes reads:
1. The curricula required to earn a MSc degree shall have from 60, 90 or 120 ECTS, covering all the theoretical and practical training to be gained by the student: compulsory and optional subjects, seminars, external practicum, supervised papers, master's thesis, assessment activities, and any others that are necessary subject to the specific characteristics of each degree programme.
60 ETCS are equivalent to one academic year.
When they enrol, all students shall have to submit for validation the originals of the documents uploaded during the application process, that is, the documents issued by the degree-awarding institution.
- Students who enrol online shall have a maximum period of two months as of enrolment in which to submit the original documents at the registrar's office of the school in which they were admitted. Enrolment will be cancelled if these documents are not submitted.
- Degree certificates issued outside the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) shall have to be duly legalized, depending on whether you are enrolling for a MSc programme with or without professional certification.
* Hague Convention Apostille or stamp of the Spanish Consulate or Embassy in the degree-issuing country.
- Documents issued in a language other than Spanish or English (UPM working languages) shall have to be duly translated before submission.
Official Recognition/Homologation and Legalization are two procedures employed for different legal purposes.
Official Recognition or Homologation
Procedure according to which the Spanish Ministry of Universities equates a degree issued by abroad with its respective Spanish degree, especially for the purposes of the exercise of a profession.
Real Decreto 889/2022, conditions and procedures for recognition, declaration of equivalence and validation of university education from foreign educational systems.
Legalization
Legalization is an administrative act whereby a foreign public document is validated, by verifying the authenticity of the signature on the document, and the capacity in which the signatory of the document has acted.
Generally implemented by means of the Hague Convention Apostille (click here for the signatory countries), the authorities of the certificate-issuing country accredit that it is a valid degree certificate and has been issued by the competent authority.
For non-signatory countries of the Apostille of the Hague or Andrés Bello Agreement, diploma and records can be legalized by the stamp of the Embassies and Consulates of Spain in the country of issue of your diploma that certifies it is an official university degree. For more information look at the question “Legalization of foreign documents abroad via diplomatic channels” in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' web.
Documents issued in a language other than English or Spanish (UPM working languages) must be duly translated before submission.
Sworn translation (public, official or certified translation) is the translation of official documents by a sworn translator recognized by an official body for this purpose.
Universidad of Spanish universities
For students from Spanish universities, the UPM Enrollment Regulations allow them to request conditional application (In no case can the Master's degree be obtained without having previously completed the Bachelor's degree) by attaching a Student Pledge for Completion of Studies, on the date indicated in the Calendar, and an Official Transcript of records of your degree stating the credits passed, the credits necessary for your Bachelor's degree, and it can be reliably verified that only the Final Degree Project (TFG) remains and a maximum of 9 credits to obtain the Bachelor's degree. Otherwise, admission will be cancelled.
Students from other universities
During the first application period, they can apply without having completed their degree programme submitting a Student Pledge for Completion of Studies in place of their degree certificate. They should then submit all the required documents (degree certificate and official transcript of records) to tramitacion.master.oficial@upm.es according to the established schedule. Otherwise, admission will be cancelled.
Check out the following calls for scholarship applications:
- Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities: Scholarships and grants for MSc programmes
- UPM-Santander Mobility Programme for Latin American university students: UPM-Santander mobility scholarships
You can also check the possibility of specific scholarships with the Master's Program Secretariat.
You can also ask for the possibility of Internships | UPM Talent - COIE.
Conditional Admission is allowed under RD 822/2021 and its transposition in the UPM Admission Regulations, which indicates "...it can be reliably verified that only the Final Degree Project (TFG) remains and a maximum of 9 credits to obtain the Bachelor's degree...".
This Conditional Admission allows undergraduate students from Spanish universities to enroll in a master's program, justifying the mentioned requirement (TFG + 9 ECTS maximum), before the dates indicated in the Calendar. Otherwise, admission would be canceled.
Also, both RD 822/2021, and its transposition in the UPM Enrollment Regulations, clearly specify that students with Conditional Admission may in no case be evaluated for the Final Master's Project (TFM) without having previously accredited obtaining the Bachelor Degree that conditioned its admission.
ECTS is the acronym for European Credit Transfer System which is the standard adopted by all European Higher Education Area (EHEA) higher education institutions to guarantee the standardization and quality of the educational programmes that they offer.
ECTS is a system designed to make it easier for students to move between different countries since the credits are based on the learning outcomes and course workload. The ECTS system also helps with and clarifies the planning, delivery and evaluation of educational programmes.
European Union, European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS)
According to Article 4, Credit transfer, of Royal Decree 1125/2003, establishing the European Credit Transfer System and grading system for official university qualifications valid throughout Spain:
1. Curriculums establish that students must earn a total 60 credits per academic year...
3. The credits allocated to each of the subjects of which the curriculum is composed shall account for the number work hours required by students to learn the respective subject matter, capabilities and skills. This allocation shall include the hours spent on theoretical or practical lectures, independent study, seminars, papers, practical assignments or projects and preparation for and sitting of examinations and assessment tests...
5. The minimum and maximum number of hours per credit shall be 25 and 30, respectively...
Higher educational programmes in Spain are divided into accredited and non-accredited programmes.
- Accredited degrees (BSc, MSc and PhD) and non-accredited degrees (master's, specialization, expert and continuing training) are endorsed by the issuing university. The difference between the two is that accredited degrees are also recognized by the State and included in the Registro de Universidades, Centros y Títulos (RUCT). This authentication process guarantees their quality. On the other hand, non-accredited programmes are designed internally by universities according to their bylaws to address training needs not covered in the official catalogue of accredited degrees.
- The UPM's accredited MSc programmes are regulated by Madri+d, the Madrid Region Certification and Accreditation Agency for higher education assessment. They are, therefore, recognized by all members states of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA). The non-accredited programmes are approved by the university's Governing Council and are not subject to the same regulatory criteria as accredited programmes.
- Holders of accredited MSc degrees are eligible for admission to PhD Programmes, holders of non-accredited degrees are not. Both are postgraduate programmes offering high-quality, very specialized programmes. Generally speaking, accredited MSc degree programmes focus more on research (are taught by university lecturers), whereas non-accredited programmes target professional education (possibly with the participation of external professionals).
- Holders of accredited MSc degrees are awarded points for postgraduate training in public administration competitive or internal promotion examinations, at least in Spain, whereas the points awarded for non-accredited programmes are usually classed as continuing education. However, this may depending on the competitive or internal promotion examination in question. They both have the same status in the business world.
- Accredited MSc degrees are priced officially by the Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities and Madrid Regional Government, whereas each institution establishes the price of their non-accredited degrees as the programmes are self-financing. Students of accredited MSc degrees are eligible for general Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities scholarships, whereas non-accredited programmes usually offer some sort of financial assistance or funding.
A regulated profession in Spain is a profession that can only be exercised subject to particular conditions laid down by law or legislative rule. The conditions are usually holdership of an accredited degree.
Regulations stipulating the requirements for the verification of accredited degrees taught by the UPM qualifying holders to exercise a profession are:
* Check the specific eligibility requirements for each MSc programme.
