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
To access the official Master's program, it is necessary to hold an official Spanish university degree of Licenciado/Graduado in Sciences or Engineering. Specifically, the official Master's program is intended for graduates in Chemical and Physical Sciences, Chemical Engineering, Environmental Sciences, and Materials Sciences.
For admission, the academic merits of the candidates will be assessed. If the number of valid admission applications exceeds the maximum number of available slots, the Master's Coordination Committee, based on its authority, will prioritize the candidates. This prioritization will indicate the score obtained by each applicant in the merit evaluation process.
