According to what is established in article 16 of RD 1393/2007, modified by RD 861/2010, students who meet any of the following conditions may access the Master's degree:

• Have an official Spanish university degree or another issued by an institution of higher education of the European Higher Education Area that authorizes access to Master's degrees in the country issuing the degree.
• Graduates according to educational systems outside the European Higher Education Area may access without the need for the homologation of their degrees, after verification by the University that they accredit a level of education equivalent to the corresponding official Spanish university degrees and that they grant access, in the country issuing the degree, to postgraduate education. Access through this path will not imply, in any case, the homologation of the interested party's prior degree, nor its recognition for other purposes than that of taking the Master's studies. In cases where the homologation of any degree, diploma or study obtained abroad is required to access the University, the Antonio de Nebrija University may conditionally admit students who accredit having submitted the corresponding application for homologation while the approval procedure is resolved.
• In the case of students with special educational needs derived from disability, the need for possible curricular adaptations, itineraries or alternative studies will be assessed.

For its part, the admission profile for the Master's Degree in Digital Management and Transformation of Educational Centers from the Antonio de Nebrija University is defined as follows: university graduate or equivalent (graduates) in Teaching, Pedagogy, Psychology (with concentration or specialization in education) or Psychopedagogy. Also, given the multidisciplinary nature of the program, those students who have completed the Master's Degree in Teacher Training for Compulsory Secondary Education and Baccalaureate, VT and Language Teaching or the Teaching Aptitude Certificate (CAP) will be able to access the Master's degree.

In general, the admission documentation will be submitted to the Admissions Department. The student must provide the originals or certified copies of the documentation submitted within the period established by the University to formalize their enrollment.
In order to access the official university master's degree, it is necessary to submit the following documentation:

• Completed Admission Application.
• Identification document D.N.I or valid passport.
• 1 passport-size photo
• Academic Record with the grades of the studies that grant access to the Master's degree.
• Certified photocopy of the degree of the official Spanish university or receipt thereof.

Foreign students:

• Certified photocopy of the official degree issued by a foreign higher education institution belonging to the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) that grants access to official master's studies in the issuing country.
• Certified photocopy of the official degree issued in a foreign education system not belonging to the EHEA. In this case, access will be conditioned to the verification that the studies completed correspond to a level of education equivalent to that of the official Spanish university degrees and that they qualify to access official master's degrees in the country in which the degree was issued. This procedure does not imply, in any case, the homologation of the prior degree, nor its recognition for any purpose other than to access the master's degree studies.
• Only in the case that it is necessary, the foreign student will be asked for a letter issued by the University in which he has completed the level that grants access to the Master's studies in the country issuing the degree.

In the event that the studies with which the student accesses pre-registration into the Master's degree are taken in a Foreign Higher Education institution, both the degree and the academic certificate (grades) must be official and issued by the competent authorities, in accordance with the legal system of the country of origin.

If the number of applicants exceeds the number of places offered, the student's academic record (average grade) will be taken as admission criteria.

Therefore, anyone interested in accessing the studies of the Master's Degree in Digital Management and Transformation of Educational Centers must submit, without exception, their academic record, as it will be the average grade therein that decides their admission to the Master's degree, in the case that the number of applications exceeds the number of places offered.

Once the places are completed, in the case of having more people interested in accessing, these will remain on the waiting list awaiting possible vacancies that may arise before the beginning of the academic year, and the admission and selection criteria previously indicated will be applied.

In addition to the evaluation of the academic merits provided by the candidate (20%), students must hold a personal interview (80%), conducted by the Program Director or by university advisors. This interview is aimed at checking the suitability of the candidate and their profile with the degree. It is about determining if the candidate has sufficient motivation, training and knowledge, skills, aptitudes, communication skills, extracurricular activities and future interests necessary to be admitted as a student in the postgraduate courses of Nebrija University.

In addition, non-Spanish foreign students must take a Spanish language level test in order to know their real language skills. It will not be necessary for the candidate to take the language positioning test if he/she submits certification that accredits knowledge of Spanish at a B2 level of the CEFR. The accreditation of the level will be validated through the official degrees admitted in the table of certificates of ACLES and/or Instituto Cervantes.

In order to be able to access this Admission Process, candidates must have previously accredited to have a degree in Teaching, Pedagogy, Psychology (with concentration or specialization in education), Psychopedagogy, or have a Master's Degree in Teacher Training of ESO and Baccalaureate, VT and Language Teaching or the Teaching Aptitude Certificate (CAP).
