The Degree in Biomedical Engineering is the official university tittle used as a referent for the design of the range of courses of the University Master’s degree in Biomedical Engineering. As a consequence, it is considered as a referral Degree and the graduates, according to the assessment criteria of established merits, will be admitted without complementary training to the abovementioned Master’s degree.
Likewise, according to the assessment criteria of established merits in the following section, the graduates in Biomedical Engineering coming from any Spanish university, will be admitted without any complementary training.
For the rest of the applicants who meet the access requirements, there is complementary training that they must carry out which, in any case, will be considered as admission pre-requirements.
For students coming from the Degree in Biomedical Engineering, there will not be any bridging course outside the Master’s degree.
The rest of the students with Degrees related to the industrial area, computer science, telecommunications and physical sciences, must carry out bridging courses outside the Master’s degree. Such bridging courses will be equivalent to 60 ECTS of the following subjects:

The admission applications for the Master’s degree in Biomedical Engineering that meet the access conditions and the specific admission requirements mentioned in previous sections, will evaluated by the Academic Committee of the Master’s degree according to the assessment criteria of merits and selection mentioned below:
a) Academic Record
The assessment of the academic record will be expressed with a punctuation from 0 to 10 and will be obtained from the average mark of the Degree with which the applicant accesses the Master’s degree, in accordance with the terms in article 5.3 of the Royal Decree 1125/2003, by which the European Credit Transfer System is established, as well as the grading system in the official university degrees and the validity in the national territory. In order to obtain the average mark, the credits recognised without mark are not taken into account.
In the case of the academic records qualified according to rating scales that are different from those in the Royal Decree 1125/2003, the Academic Committee of the Governing Council, will establish the corresponding equivalences.
To make comparable the marks from different Universities, Centres, Degrees and classes, the average marks of each academic record will be normalised according to the conditions that both universities regulate.
b) Correspondence of the competences of the Access degree with those from the Referral Degree. The adaptation to the acquired competences in the Referral Degree of the contents of the academic curriculum of the Degree with which the applicant accesses the Master’s degree will be valued. This assessment will be made by the Master’s Degree Academic Committee.
The assessment will be expressed with a rating from 0 to 10.
c) CV: Curriculum Vitae
The curriculum vitae of the applicant will be valued, specially in those aspects that have to do with the work experience in the field of the Master’s degree, the continuous training and the language skills. The assessment criteria will be proposed by the Master’s Degree Academic Committee.
The assessment will be expressed with a rating from 0 to 10.
It is advisable to consider, in the final assessment, the three described criteria. The importance of each criteria will be set by the centre responsible for the Master’s degree (ERT), always inside the three following sections:
a) Academic record: 40-60%
b) Correspondence of the competences of the Access degree with those from the Referral Degree: 40-60%
c) Curriculum Vitae: 0-10%
All the applications will be organised according to the obtained weighted score and taking into account the preference criteria indicated in the section of specific requirements in regard to the marks of access to the university and the certification of the B2 level in foreign language.
The recommended applicant’s profile is a graduate in Chemical Engineering who has got the competences described in the third section of the Ministerial Decree that establishes the requirements to verify official university titles linked to the work of industrial technical engineers (Decree CIN/351/2009). He should also have the technical education described in the fifth section of the previously mentioned decree, which refers to the Industrial Chemistry Specific Technology Module. If the applicant was a graduate in any other discipline rather than Chemical Engineering, we will be asked to comply a series of educational requirements to prove that he is competent in the master’s subject. The UV Degree in Chemical Engineering is considered the model degree for accessing the master’s degree. Therefore, we do not recommend students who don’t have training in related scientific/technical disciplines to apply for this master’s degree.
Regarding the language requirements, the applicants are recommended to have a B2 or higher level of English to understand scientific documents. Foreigner students are advised to have a C1 level of Spanish.
Holders of degrees different to the ones mentioned above will be required to take the bridging courses needed for meeting the competencies of the degree in Chemical Engineering.
If the number of applications is higher than the number of places offered, there will be a selection carried out by Academic Coordinating Committee.
The admission criteria will be the following: Adaptation of the profile (50-70%), Academic Record (20-40%), Professional Experience (5-10%) and other academic and training merits: other degrees or postgraduate studies, community languages level B-1 or superior, seminars, etc (5-10%).
Bridging courses
The Master’s Degree Academic Committee will indicate the subjects (corresponding to the Undergraduate Degree in Chemical Engineering) to be taken by the students, depending on the cv of the candidates, with a maximum number of 30 ECTS.
These are the recommended entry profiles Educational profiles (as per the catalogue of official undergraduate studies, RD 1497/1987): technical engineers - Ingenieros Técnicos (industrial, telecommunications), industrial engineers (mechanical and electrical, industrial automation and electronics), physics graduates, computer engineers, telecommunication engineers.
Graduates in studies under the new decree and with a similar academic profile to that of the aforementioned degrees will also be eligible.
Whichever the case, the candidate's profile shall include basic knowledge of circuit analysis and linear systems, analogue electronics and digital electronics.
Regarding the student's personal profile, the programme is addressed to individuals willing to further the knowledge and skills needed to become specialised in the areas described, in both the professional and the researching paths. Therefore, they would be expected to have affinity with electronics as a driver of broad socioeconomic sectors and, especially, as an essential contribution to industrial strategic sectors.
The Academic Commission will inform students on the courses to be completed (either from the new or former degree system) as levelling modules (maximum 30 ECTS). If the student has to complete the levelling credits, they will not be computed as part of the credits necessary for the qualification.
In general terms, the Academic Commission shall observe the following criteria in their appraisal of the applications:
- University qualifications (the degree’s affinity with the contents of the masters will be considered).
- Academic records.
- Curriculum vitae (training courses, research merit, and professional experience related to the masters).
If the student demand is higher than the university offer, there will be a student selection process. It will be conducted by the Coordinating Academic Committee following the scientific and academic criteria of the weighting grid down below:
