UDC Master’s studies programmes are open to students with an undergraduate degree or equivalent from a recognised Spanish university, or an equivalent qualification from a recognised third-level institution in the EHEA.
Candidates from non-EHEA university systems are not required to have their qualifications officially recognised, provided the UDC is satisfied that the learner outcomes and status of their non-EHEA qualification are homologous to the equivalent degree in Spain. This is an application-specific statement of equivalence only: under no circumstances may the University’s admission of non-EHEA qualifications be construed as a form of official accreditation.
Candidates from non-EHEA university systems are required to have their qualifications officially recognised if they request access to master's degrees that qualify for a regulated profession.
Applications for UDC Master’s studies programmes will be assessed on the basis of specific entry criteria, including the candidate’s academic qualifications and merits. Information relating to entry procedures and requirements will be included in the programme structure for each degree.
The decision to offer a student a place on a UDC Master’s degree programme is the result of an application-specific evaluation process, and has no bearing on the academic or professional status of the candidate’s existing qualifications.

The evaluation criteria used to assess applications will be calculated using the following formula: the student’s Grade Point Average (GPA) in their Bachelor’s degree transcript divided by the average GPA of their graduating cohort. The GPA will be calculated in accordance with Royal Decree 1125/2003, of 5 September. If the selection committee does not have access to the cohort’s average GPA, it will use information on ISCED average grades by field of study and university published by the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport.
Once the assessment process is completed, the selection committees will produce two provisional lists of admitted and excluded applicants, specifying the reason for exclusion where applicable. The list of admitted candidates will distinguish between applications for full-degree admission and those for admission by modules or individual subjects.
