Admission

Students who meet the admission requirements established in the previous section may apply for admission to the Inter-University Master's Degree in Port and Coastal Engineering. Due to limited enrollment, admission will be subject to a selection process based on an evaluation of candidates' merits. This evaluation will adhere to the criteria outlined in the following section. After reviewing the documentation submitted by the applicant, the Academic Committee of the Master's Degree will conduct a preliminary selection and issue a list of pre-admitted students, based on the number of available places. Subsequently, the Academic Committee will grant final admission if the necessary administrative requirements for enrollment are met.

Selection criteria

The Master's Degree in Continuing Education in Port and Coastal Engineering is aimed especially at Engineers whose responsibilities include the specialty of Maritime Engineering: Master Engineers of Roads, Canals and Ports, Graduates in Civil Engineering, Technical Engineers of Public Works or equivalent foreign qualifications.

It is also open to other Spanish or foreign engineering degrees that can prove they have basic prior training related to: the sea, maritime and coastal engineering, marine energies or the essential subjects included in the Master's program, as well as graduates in Marine Sciences or equivalent foreign qualifications, provided they meet one of the above requirements.

Although the Master's Degree in Port and Coastal Engineering provides in-depth and specialized training, it does not grant professional qualifications, so anyone wishing to practice their profession in Port and Coastal Engineering must acquire/have acquired them with one of the degrees that enable it, such as the Bachelor's Degree in Civil Engineering, the Master's Degree in Civil Engineering, Canals and Ports or the former studies of Technical Engineering of Public Works.

Admission to the program leading to this postgraduate degree will be subject to a selection process based on the evaluation of the candidate's merits. As this is a highly specialized Master's program, students must have, or have previously acquired, a background in Maritime and Coastal Engineering at least at the level of a Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering. Therefore, 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

Professional or teaching/research experience
