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.

Although it is not essential to have a specific degree to access the Master's degree, there are some skills that are considered especially appropriate to pursue these studies, such as those acquired in the Bachelor's degrees in the Engineering and Architecture branch, studies related to environmental sciences and sciences in general, as well as in the old degrees of Engineering and Technical Engineering, Architecture and Technical Architecture and science-related degrees.
The Master, in addition to being aimed at those who intend to obtain the degree itself, may also be of interest to people who only wish to take some of its subjects as a complement to other related master's degrees, their professional training or to complete the prior training required for access to the doctorate (in the specific case of Technical Engineers and Technical Architects, until reaching a minimum of 300 ECTS credits in all official university studies, of which at least 60 must be at the Master's level).
