Admission requirements
Applicants must hold, at the time of pre-registration, one of the following degrees:
- In the case of official Spanish university degrees or degrees issued by a country of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA):
- Bachelor’s degree, engineering or architecture.
- Diploma, technical engineering or technical architecture.
- Grade.
- Higher non-university degree.
- Foreign degree from a higher education institution belonging to the European Higher Education Area (EHEA).
- In the case of access with homologated foreign studies:
- Official degree that gives access to the master’s degree.
- Credential of homologation of the foreign degree.
- For official university degrees outside the EHEA:
- Foreign degree from a higher education institution outside the European Higher Education Area (EHEA).
- Certificate from the university of origin certifying that those studies correspond to a level of education equivalent to a bachelor’s degree and that they qualify students for access to master’s degree studies.
However, at the discretion of the master’s degree committee, students with a Spanish degree who are completing their studies for access to the master’s degree may pre-register even if they have not deposited their degree certificate at the time of submitting their application. If they are admitted, they will be admitted on a conditional basis, since they will have to prove the completion of the studies leading to the master’s degree, by means of the certificate of deposit of the degree.
Students with a foreign entrance qualification must have completed their studies in order to formalize their pre-enrollment.
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.
General information on access can be found in the Alumni Service – Access

Scholarships
Studies leading to an official university degree allow access to scholarships and grants. The Ministry of Education, the Generalitat Valenciana and the Universitat Politècnica de València itself offer various scholarships and grants.
General scholarships for students pursuing post-compulsory studies valid throughout the national territory. The scholarship will consist of exemption from payment of fees for the provision of university academic services (tuition fees), corresponding to subjects enrolled for the first time. Other fixed and variable amounts may also be obtained, if the requirements established for this purpose are met.
For the awarding of the scholarship it is necessary to prove administrative residence in the Valencian Community and not to exceed the income thresholds established by the call, as well as to comply with the general and academic requirements.

The Universitat Politècnica de València offers various scholarships or grants such as social action grants, canteen grants or collaboration training grants. There are also grants for sportsmen and women.
This link brings together all types of calls for bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral students: mobility grants, collaboration grants, research grants, internship grants, course grants…
The Aula Empresa CIMSA Sostenibilidad launches every year a call for scholarships to carry out the TFM on Sustainable Chemistry topics, which can be accessed by all students of the master’s degree. Likewise, the Spanish Catalysis Society offers grants for TFMs related to catalysis, which are also available to students of the master’s degree.
Apart from this, there are general calls from the Ministry for students of official Masters and other specific calls from other institutions which, if the appropriate conditions are met, can be accessed by students enrolled in the Master’s program.
Pre-registration process
Pre-registration is the procedure used to order all the applications received by each university master’s degree, according to the access requirements that have been established and the evaluation of the merits presented by each applicant. It is a procedure that, at the Universitat Politècnica de València, is carried out through an online application and with a different (longer) deadline for students from outside the European Union. Those interested in applying for a place in this university master’s degree will find below the step-by-step instructions for pre-enrolment: deadlines, fees, documents, regulations…
