• To be eligible for admission, students must meet one of the following requirements:
  1. Hold a Spanish official university degree or another degree from an institution of higher education within the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) that grants access to master's degree studies.

Admission Criteria

• For the general contingent, admission will be based on the student's overall academic record.
• In case of a tie, priority will be given to the student who completed their degree in the shortest time. If the tie persists, the Master's Academic Committee will resolve the issue through a personal interview with the candidates involved.
• For the remaining places, the admission criteria will be based on the student's academic record (6 points), research experience (3 points), and previous professional experience (1 point), according to the scale approved by the Master's Academic Committee.

Adaptation

• A table of adaptation is proposed for students from existing doctoral programs in Experimental and Applied Biology and the interuniversity master's degree in Advanced Optometry and Vision.
• The recognition of credits from other official studies or non-official university studies will be based on the adequacy between the knowledge and competencies acquired by the student and those provided in the master's program.

Recognition and Transfer of Credits

• The University has a policy for recognizing and transferring credits, which includes the recognition of credits from official studies, non-official university studies, and professional or work experience.
• The recognition of credits will be based on the adequacy between the knowledge and competencies acquired by the student and those provided in the master's program.
