Admission and enrolment in postgraduate studies

Although the administrative entity in charge of offering these USC-specific degrees, as well as their processing and monitoring, is the Centre for Postgraduate Studies, academic management corresponds to the Academic Management Office under the University’s General Secretary’s Office.

If you wish to take USC-Specific Post-Graduate or Continuing Studies, you must apply for admission to the place and period indicated for each course in the offer for the academic year.

The Academic Committee, or the course director where appropriate, will decide on your admission in accordance with the criteria established in the course announcement and, once compliance with the access requirements is verified, will make public the list of students admitted and excluded.

Students must register for all the credits that appear in the programming of the qualification.

The payment of the enrolment fee must be made before the beginning of the course, with a minimum of 5 working days between the end of the enrolment period and the start date of the course.

In the case of non-attendance degrees, students will be exempt from the payment of the school insurance or compulsory insurance, unless they have to do a work placement or take part in evaluation tests.

 

Students admitted to USC-Specific Postgraduate and Continuing Education Courses must register in the corresponding Academic Management Units.

If you want to be admitted to a USC-specific master's degree or to a specialisation course with credits pending to be passed in order to obtain the qualification for access to a USC-specific postgraduate course, you must certify that you are able to obtain the qualification and that you are enrolled in those pending credits in the current academic year.

This will be formalised under the terms indicated in the call in the Academic Management Units, presenting the application form for enrolment in USC-Specific Postgraduate Courses (USC-Specific Master’s Degree and Specialisation Courses) together with the following documentation:

  • Certified photocopy of the degree that gives access to the course, except if you have taken those studies at the USC (in this case you must indicate this on the application form itself).
  • Photocopy of National Id ( DNI), Foreign residency Card (NIE) or passport, if you are a foreigner.

Students with a foreign degree must accredit the validation or equivalence by the Ministry of their degree or request its equivalence in the Academic Management Office of the USC in order to formalise the enrolment. Your enrolment will not be formalised if the application for equivalence of your degree has not been previously accredited.

You will have to pay the enrolment fees established in the form determined by the course announcement.  

 

This will be formalised in the periods indicated in the call in the Academic Management Units, presenting the application form for enrolment in continuing education courses along with the following documentation:

  • Photocopy of National Id (DNI), Foreign residency Card (NIE) or passport, if you are a foreigner

You will have to pay the enrolment fees established in the form determined by the course announcement.

 

Applications submitted up to five working days after the end of the enrolment and after the end of that period will be considered, provided that they have a favourable report from the management and are submitted before the start of the course.

Applications submitted after the start of the course activities will not give rise to a refund, except for reasons attributable to the university or duly accredited force majeure. In any case, it will be necessary to have a favourable report from the Academic Committee or from the management of the course.
