Access and admission criteria

Since the master’s degree qualifies the holder to practice the regulated profession of Telecommunication Engineering, there are other access conditions specified in the order CIN/355/2009:

  • Those who previously acquire the competencies set forth in section three of the Ministerial Order establishing the requirements for the verification of official university degrees that enable them to exercise the profession of Technical Telecommunication Engineering and whose training is in accordance with that set forth in section five of the aforementioned Ministerial Order may be admitted to the Master’s Degree that enables them to practice the profession of Telecommunication Engineer.
  • Access to the master’s degree will be allowed when the bachelor’s degree of the interested party proves that he/she has completed the basic training module and the module common to the branch, even if not covering a complete block of the specific technology module, but 48 credits of those offered in the set of blocks of said module of a graduate degree that qualifies for the exercise of Telecommunication Technical Engineering, in accordance with the aforementioned Ministerial Order.
  • Those in possession of any bachelor’s degree may also be admitted to the programme, without prejudice to the establishment, in this case, of any additional training that may be deemed necessary.

The above paragraphs shall be understood without prejudice to the provisions of article 17.2 and the fourth additional provision of Royal Decree 1393/2007, of 29th October.

Therefore, in order to take the MET, it is recommended to pass one of the following courses:

  • Graduates in ICT technologies, with professional attributions of telecommunication engineering technicians.
  • ICT technology degrees.

Other degrees in the fields of engineering and architecture are also admitted, but will be assessed by the Admission Committee of the degree.

Graduates in programmes corresponding to branches of knowledge other than Engineering and Architecture are not admitted.

The Master’s Academic Committee may establish bridging courses for students coming from foreign universities or from engineering degrees unrelated to telecommunications, with the aim of leveling their academic background. These bridging courses will be defined individually based on each student’s academic record, prior to their first enrollment.

Since a significant number of subjects (including the Master’s Thesis, which is mandatory) are taught in English thanks to the Internationalization Plan of the University of Vigo, students applying for admission to this degree must hold an official certification in English equivalent to a B1 level (such as a certificate from the Official School of Languages, the University Language Center, or any other certificates/diplomas considered equivalent, such as Cambridge, TOEFL, etc.).
