The application for admission to the Master's program is done electronically through our on-line admissions application. Before starting the admission process it is advisable to consult the following information and follow the instructions described in Admission step by step:
Specific Admission Requirements
The access requirements will be the same at all signatory institutions. In order to access the official teachings in Erasmus Mundus University Master’s Degree in Theoretical Chemistry and Computational Modelling, the following will be necessary:
- Holding an official Spanish university degree in Chemistry, Physics or Materials Science, or another qualification issued by a higher education institution in a member state of the European Higher Education Area, enabling access to Master's Degree teachings.
- Likewise, holders of degrees in accordance with educational systems outside the European Higher Education Area may access, without the need to validate their qualifications, after the participating universities previously verify that the said qualifications accredit a level equivalent to the official Spanish university qualifications mentioned above, and that they enable access to postgraduate teachings in the issuing country. Access via this method shall not entail validation of the previous degree held by the student, nor any recognition for other purposes in the event they are accepted on the Master's Degree.
