General criteria to access the UCM master's programmes:

1. Applicants must have a first degree (bachelor's or equivalent undergraduate degree) from a higher education institution of the European Higher Education Area.
2. Applicants with degrees from countries outside the European Higher Education Area can access the programme, providing that their home institution verifies that the candidate's first degree authorises the holder to access postgraduate education.
3. Students about to get their first degree at the time of applying should provide documentation indicating that they will earn such a first degree before enrollment in the master's programme.
4. Students enrolled in a master's programme at UCM must not be simultaneously enrolled in another higher education institution, unless they provide official documentation about having obtained a leave of absence from the other institution for the entire duration of their studies at UCM.
