What are the requirements for access and admission?
Access to University Masters
To access the official Master’s degrees, it will be necessary to have an official Spanish university degree or another issued by a higher education institution of the European Higher Education Area that empowers in the country issuing the degree for access to master’s degrees. Likewise, graduates in accordance with educational systems outside the European Higher Education Area will be able to access without having their qualifications approved, after verification by the University that they accredit a level of training equivalent to the corresponding official Spanish university qualifications and that empower in the country issuing the degree for access to postgraduate education. Access by this means will not imply, in any case, the homologation of the previous title that the interested party is in possession, nor its recognition for purposes other than that of taking Master’s degrees.
Admission to MUIB
The Master’s Degree in Biomedical Engineering (MUIB) is aimed at graduates of undergraduate or higher level (graduate, engineer or graduate) and the entry profile corresponds to some areas of engineering (telecommunications, computer science, industrial, biomedical) and science physical. If you have a degree in biomedical engineering, it will not be necessary to complete training supplements. In the case of the other degrees, the Academic Committee of the Master may specify up to a maximum of 18 ECTS of training supplements. The training complements will be subjects of the Degree in Biomedical Engineering at the UPM in the subjects of physiology, mechanics, electronics or signals and systems. Students may be admitted to the MUIB according to the specific requirements and merit evaluation criteria of the degree.
