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.
In addition, access to the Master's Degree in Chemical Engineering at the Universitat de València is proposed following the recommendations established in the resolution of the Secretariat for Universities regarding the Official Master's Degree linked to the profession of Chemical Engineer (BOE no. 187, section III page 66699 of 4 August 2009, in article 4.2): Entrance requirements to the Master’s Degree:
- Those who have previously acquired the competences stated in section 3 of the Ministerial Decree establishing the requirements for the verification of official university degrees linked to the practice of the profession of Industrial Technical Engineer (Order CIN/351/2009), and whose training is in accordance with that established in section 5 of the aforementioned decree, all of which refers to the module of Specific Technology of Industrial Chemistry, may access the Master's Degree linked to the profession of Chemical Engineer.
- Likewise, access to the Master's Degree will be allowed if the Bachelor's Degree of the applicant covers the competences included in the basic training modules common to the industrial branch of section 5 of the Ministerial Decree, establishing the requirements for the verification of official university degrees linked to the practice of the profession of Industrial Technical Engineer. In this case, the necessary bridging courses must be taken to guarantee the competences stated in the industrial chemistry block of the aforementioned order.
- Those in possession of any other Bachelor's Degree may also be admitted to this Master's Degree without prejudice to the establishment of any additional training that may be deemed necessary.
Holders of other degrees different from those mentioned above will be required to take the necessary bridging courses to meet the competences of the Degree in Chemical Engineering. These competences correspond to the basic ones defined in the Royal Decree 1393/2007 and those established by Order CIN/351/2009, published in the BOE of 20 February 2009, which enable students to practice the profession of Industrial Technical Engineer.
The required complementary training will consist of taking the necessary subjects of the Degree in Chemical Engineering, the number of credits required depending on the applicant's CV.
