Likewise, people with degrees under educational systems outside the European Higher Education Area may access the course.
Higher Education without the need for homologation of their qualifications, subject to verification by the University that these accredit a level of training equivalent to the corresponding official Spanish university qualifications and that they entitle the applicant to access postgraduate studies in the country issuing the qualification. Access by this route will not imply, in any case, the homologation of the previous qualification held by the interested party, nor its recognition for any purpose other than that of taking the Master's degree courses.
