Admission Requirements
Academic Requirements
General academic access requirements
- An official Spanish university qualification or an official university qualification issued by a university in the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) that qualifies the holder for admission to a master\'s degree.
- A qualification issued by a university in a country that is not in the EHEA. If the qualification has not been homologated, the UPC will verify that the course of study corresponds to a level of education equivalent to an official Spanish university degree and that the qualification obtained would provide admission to a master\xc2\x92s degree in the country in which it was awarded. This access route in no way implies the homologation of the qualification or its recognition for any purpose other than admission to the master\'s degree. The master\'s degree will, however, be fully and legally valid.
In addition to these general access requirements, which apply to all master\'s degree courses, specific admission requirements may be set for each programme.
Specific requirements
The most suitable educational profiles are:- Engineering Degrees related to automatic control and robotics (Industrial, Electronic, Electrical, Mechanical, IT and telecommunications engineering, among others.
- Physics or Mathematics Degrees.
- English level B2 is required. In exceptional cases, for reasons pertaining to the curriculum and the adaptation of the degree required for admission, this requirement may be lowered to level B1.
Admission criteria
- English level B2.2 is required.
- Academic record.
- First degree and university of origin.
- Professional experience.
