The Academic Committee of the Master's Degree sIt will be the body responsible for assessing applications for recognition.

It will evaluate the suitability of each course to the established criteria.

Criteria for ordering applications for the allocation of places

The number of places offered in each edition of the Master's program will be 25. When the number of applications that meet the access requirements and have obtained a favorable recognition decision is greater than the number of places available, applicants will be ranked from highest to lowest score according to the average admission grade.

The average admission grade will be calculated using the simple arithmetic mean of the grades obtained in the two required postgraduate qualifications for admission to the Master's program: Diploma of Expert in Training for University Teaching (FDU-ULL) or, failing that, University Expert in University Teaching (EDU-ULL), and Diploma of Expert in Digital Competencies for Teaching (FCD-ULL). Both qualifications will have equal weight in calculating the average admission grade, without weighting by number of credits, in order to apply a balanced criterion between the two required qualifications.

Places will be allocated following the resulting order, from highest to lowest average admission score, until the maximum number of available places is reached.

Those who meet the access requirements and have obtained a favorable recognition resolution, but are not admitted due to lack of places, will be added to the waiting list for the corresponding edition, respecting the order established by their average admission grade.

If a person on the waiting list is unable to access the Master's program in a given year, they may reactivate their application for the following academic year, within the established pre-registration period, without needing to resubmit documentation that has already been favorably assessed by the Academic Committee. Their score will be retained, and their application will be ranked along with new applications.

To reactivate the application, you must submit the corresponding pre-registration application and provide the receipt or the favorable recognition resolution issued by the Academic Commission.

Reactivating the application does not exempt you from complying with the access requirements in force at the time of the new pre-registration.
