Admission Criteria

At the Antonio de Nebrija University, the admission procedures will be carried out which are established by the university legislation with particular reference to the guiding principles of access to Spanish universities: equality, merit, capacity, universal accessibility and adaptation to the criteria of the European Higher Education Area.

To access the Master’s Degree program, one must fulfill in the first place the requisites indicated in Order CIN/311/2009 in its section 4.2:

• 4.2.1 Students can access the Master’s Degree that leads to the practice of the profession of Industrial Engineer if they have previously acquired the competences that are included in Section 3 of the Ministerial Order which establishes the requirements for the verification of the official university degrees that lead to the practice of the profession of Technical Industrial Engineer and their training is in accordance with that which is established in Section 5 of the cited Ministerial Order.
• 4.2.2 Furthermore, access to the master’s degree will be permitted when the concerned graduate has taken the basic training module and the common module of the branch, although the complete block of the specific technological module has not been covered, and 48 credits of those offered in the set of blocks of said module of a bachelor’s degree that lead to the practice of Technical Industrial Engineer, in accordance with the cited Ministerial Order.
• 4.2.3 Also, students can access this master’s degree program if they hold any other bachelor’s degree without prejudice of the fact that in this case prior complementary training courses that are deemed necessary are established.

The above section will be considered, without prejudice of the provisions of Article 17.2 and the fourth additional provision of Royal Decree 1393/2007, of October 29.

The complementary training courses that the student must take have to be taken prior to the start of the Master’s Degree and having taken them will be a prior requisite for admission.

In addition, the University requires passing its own admission tests, for both the undergraduate and the post-graduate degrees.

The academic and personal characteristics that define the preferred admission profile are those of a Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering of Industrial Technologies, or a Bachelor’s Degree in the different industrial branches of specialty defined in the Order CIN/351/2009, of February 9, which establishes the requirements for the verification of the official university degrees that lead to the practice of the profession of Technical Industrial Engineer.

As indicated in Section 12.9 of the Royal Decree 861/2010, “When it deals with degrees that lead to the practice of professional activities regulated in Spain, the Government will establish the conditions to which the corresponding curricula must be adapted, which must also be adapted, where appropriate, to the applicable European regulations. These curricula must, in any case, be designed in a way that allows obtaining the competences necessary to practice that profession. For these effects, the University will justify the adaptation of the curricula to such conditions.”
