Admission requirements
The Degree in Aerospace Engineering from the UPV is the official university degree that has been used as a reference for the design of the syllabus of the Master’s Degree in Aeronautical Engineering from the UPV. Therefore, this is considered as the reference Degree and its graduates, according to the merit assessment criteria established in the following section, will be admitted, if applicable, without training complements to the mentioned Master’s Degree.
Likewise, in accordance with the merit assessment criteria established in the following section, graduates with degrees equivalent to those indicated in the previous paragraph from any Spanish university will be admitted, if applicable, without any training complements. For the rest of the applicants who meet the access requirements, the ERT will establish the educational complements that they must complete, which, in any case, will be considered prerequisites for admission.
Graduates in Technical Engineering of the previous regulation must obtain, by the route of the itinerary established for adaptation, the corresponding Degree. In addition to the above, it will be considered a preferential requirement for admission the accreditation of the B2 level in a foreign language and the university access grade, in the terms regulated by the UPV.
Admission for disabled students
For students with specific educational needs arising from a disability, appropriate support and counseling services will be established to assess the needs of curricular adaptations, itineraries or alternative studies, through the support of the CEDAT Foundation of the UPV.
The CEDAT Foundation of the UPV offers information and advice to members of the university community with disabilities, as well as accompaniment and support in the classroom. In addition, it provides technical aids for study to those members of the student body who, due to their special educational needs, require it. It also promotes and manages training and employment actions for this group, both inside and outside the UPV campuses, and offers different services from its Special Employment Center.
The foundation also carries out projects for the elimination of architectural and urban barriers, comprehensive accessibility plans, accessibility audits, project reviews, advice and design of ideal accessibility models.
