Recommended profile of admission
Admission profile without complementary training: In general, the studies that allow access without complementary training will be the interuniversity master's degree in Mathematical Engineering, taught by the three Galician universities, and the Master's Degree in Industrial Mathematics that has replaced it, taught by the Galician universities together with the Carlos III and the Polytechnic University of Madrid. Also no training complements are required for students with DEA within the former Galician Interuniversity Doctoral Program "Mathematical Methods and Numerical Simulation in Engineering and Applied Sciences"
Other profiles: In the case of other access profiles, the CAPD will evaluate each case individually. The possibility of requiring complementary training of subjects of the Master's Degree in Industrial Mathematics will be considered up to a maximum of 15 ECTS. In the case of other profiles who have not completed a master's degree, an equivalence of training in research credits not indifferent to those of the master's degree that gives direct access will be required, i.e. 60 ECTS. Students with foreign qualifications that have not been recognised must also adapt to the conditions established by the universities.
