The UPV offers a wide range of master’s degrees. You can choose from more than 90 master’s degrees and double master’s degrees, grouped into five main branches, with a large number of places available. The branch of Engineering and Architecture is where you can study the largest number of degrees. Still, you will also find master’s degrees linked to other branches of knowledge, such as the arts, sciences, or social and legal sciences.

These are master’s degrees that give access to a regulated profession. To access these master’s degrees, you must have studied for a degree in Spain or have had recognised. This is an essential requirement as it implies that the studies you have completed in your home country are precisely the same as those in Spain. Study the list of master’s degrees carefully because if you find it difficult to access a qualifying master’s degree, you can always select another one that offers similar training to the qualifying master’s degrees and with a faster and easier access process.

The possibility of taking master’s degrees in a hybrid mode, i.e., with part of their training online, is being studied. To learn more about this modality, it is advisable to contact the academic management of the master’s degree, as it possibly depends on the type of studies and the centre’s capacities.

Studies in Spain are measured in credits; a Master’s degree can be 60, 72, 90 or 120 credits.

A distinction must be made between the duration of the teaching (class attendance) and the preparation of the Master’s thesis (TFM). In principle, the duration of the learning in a Master’s degree is:

• An academic year: 60, 72 or 75 credits (from September to June of the following year)
• One and a half academic years: 90 credits (September to June of the following year + September to January of the following year).
• Two academic years: or 120 credits (from September to June for 2 years)

In addition to this period, the student will require a few more months (3-6) to complete the TFM (Final Master’s Thesis).

The academic year in Spain starts in September and ends in June the following year.

UPV is a public university whose prices are subsidised and, very importantly, are the same for national and international students. This is different from other autonomous communities in Spain.

The Spanish system is governed by the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS), known as credits, and all degrees have their equivalence in credits. In general, the price per credit for a degree is €17.34 for the first enrolment, and an academic year consists of 60 credits, so the estimated cost per year would be €1,024. Secretarial and homologation fees are less than €200.

For a Master’s degree, the average price per credit is €35.3. You can calculate the total cost of a Master’s course by multiplying it by the number of credits and adding €200-300 for other administrative fees. An academic year is 60 credits, so the total cost of a 90-credit master’s degree would be around €3,200.

These prices are public and change annually, so each year, they are published in a decree of the Generalitat Valenciana, which you can find on our website.

Most of the scholarships offered to study at the UPV at a national and regional level can be used by European students. However, many countries outside the European Union grant students to study at European universities. International students already enrolled can apply for various grants from the UPV.

You can apply for national grants in your home country; for example, if you are a student in the Dominican Republic (MESCYT grants), Peru (PRONABEC grants), Mexico (CONACYT grants), Ecuador (SENESCYT grants) or Argentina (BecAr programme), to give some examples.

SEPIE, or the European Union, also facilitate access to education in Europe with specific programmes. In addition, some private entities (such Fundación Carolina) also offer scholarships for international students.

When you study at UPV, it is as if you were studying at more than 1,000 universities in 92 countries. You can spend part of your studies at these universities through international exchange programmes such as Erasmus, Promoe, SICUE or ENHANCE educational Offers. All these possibilities are available through the Office of International Exchange Programmes (OPII).

The equivalence of foreign studies is a procedure to evaluate the foreign degree of access, allowing pre-enrolment for up to four different master’s degrees.

 It has a cost of 155.22 € (annually reviewable) that the student must pay during the pre-enrolment process at the UPV itself, within a maximum period of 15 days.

 A credit card can be used for this purpose through a secure payment system.
