Admission Students who meet the admission requirements established in the previous section may apply for admission to the Interuniversity Master's Degree in Port and Coastal Engineering. As there is a limited number of places, admission will be subject to a selection process based on the assessment of the candidates' merits. This assessment will be based on the criteria set out in the following section. Once the applicant's documentation has been reviewed, the Academic Committee of the Master's Degree will conduct a preliminary selection and issue a shortlist of candidates based on the number of places available. The Academic Committee of the Master's Degree will subsequently grant final admission if the administrative requirements for registration are met. Selection criteria The Interuniversity Master's Degree in Port and Coastal Engineering is specifically aimed at engineers with a specialty in maritime engineering: Master's degrees in Civil Engineering, Civil Engineering graduates, Public Works Engineers, or equivalent foreign qualifications. It is also open to other Spanish or foreign engineering graduates who can demonstrate basic prior training related to the sea, maritime and coastal engineering, marine energy, or the core subjects included in the Master's program, as well as graduates in Marine Sciences or equivalent foreign qualifications, provided they meet one of the requirements a), b), or c) above. Although the Interuniversity Master's Degree in Port and Coastal Engineering provides in-depth and specialized training, it does not grant professional qualifications. Therefore, those wishing to pursue a professional career in Port and Coastal Engineering must have acquired these qualifications through one of the qualifying degrees, such as the Bachelor's Degree in Civil Engineering, the Master's Degree in Civil Engineering, or the former Technical Engineering of Public Works studies. Admission to studies leading to the Interuniversity Master's Degree in Port and Coastal Engineering will be conditioned by a selection process based on the assessment of the candidate's merits. As this is a highly specialized Master's Degree, in order to pursue it, students must have, or previously acquire, training in Maritime and Coastal Engineering of at least the level of a Bachelor's Degree in Civil Engineering. For this reason, the preferred qualifications and studies are:

• Civil Engineering.
• Degree in Civil Engineering or Technical Engineering of Public Works.

The scale to be applied is based on the assessment of three (3) criteria: 1. Adequacy of the previous training to the program of the own degree, up to a maximum of fifteen (15) points:

Doctor of Civil Engineering, Doctor of Civil Engineering	15 points
Postgraduate/Expert in Port and Coastal Engineering or equivalent qualifications	14 points
Master's degree in Civil Engineering or equivalent qualifications	14 points
Degree in Civil Engineering, Technical Engineering of Public Works or equivalent qualifications	13 points
Doctor of Naval Engineering Doctor of Industrial Engineering	10 points
Master's Degree in Naval Engineering, Master's Degree in Industrial Engineering or equivalent qualifications	9 points
Degree in Naval Technology Engineering, Bachelor's Degree in Naval Machinery, Naval Technical Engineering or equivalent qualifications	8 points
Other Doctors of Engineering	7 points
Other Masters in Engineering	6 points
Other Engineering Degrees	5 points
Bachelor's or Master's degree in Marine Sciences or equivalent qualifications	5 points
Other Degrees and Licentiates in the Science branch, related to core subjects of the Master's degree	3 points

2. Professional or teaching/research experience 2.1.- Professional Experience to. In the field of Civil Engineering: 1 point per year accredited up to a maximum of 15 points b. In the field of Naval or Industrial Engineering: 1 point per year up to a maximum of 10 c. In other engineering or science specialties: 0.5 points per year up to a maximum of 5 2.2.- University Teaching/Research Experience to. In Civil Engineering Schools: 1 point per year accredited up to a maximum of 15 points b. In Naval or Industrial Engineering Schools: 1 point per year up to a maximum of 10 c. In other Engineering Schools or Faculties of Science: 0.5 points per year up to a maximum of 5 d. In other Faculties or Schools not specified: 0 points 3. Personal interview, optional and only in case of a tie, up to five (5) points. The interview will assess: 1) the candidate's accredited professional experience in other fields of civil engineering other than the port and/or coastal engineering sector (max. 2 points), 2) mastery of languages other than English (max. 2 points), 3) studies carried out in other countries and non-related degrees obtained (max. 1 point).
