Article 16 entitled “Access to official Master's degree courses” of Chapter IV “Official university Master's degree courses” of Royal Decree 1393/2007, of October 29, modified in its section 1 by article 9 of Royal Decree 861/2010, of July 2, states the following:
1. To access official Master's courses, it will be necessary to be in possession of an official Spanish university degree or another one issued by a higher education institution belonging to another member state of the European Higher Education Area that qualifies in that state for access to Master's courses.

Likewise, graduates from educational systems outside the European Higher Education Area may access the programme without the need for their qualifications to be recognised, subject to verification by the University that they certify a level of training equivalent to the corresponding official Spanish university qualifications and that they entitle them to access postgraduate studies in the country that issued the qualification. Access via this route will not, under any circumstances, imply the recognition of the previous qualification held by the interested party, nor its recognition for any purpose other than to undertake the master's degree courses.
In addition, the University of La Laguna, in compliance with the provisions of Decree 168/2008, of July 22 (Official Gazette of the Canary Islands No. 154, of August 1), establishes that in order to access this master's degree, it will be an essential requirement to prove a B1 level of English.

Article 4 of the Decree of the Government of the Canary Islands 168/2008, dated 22 July (BOC No. 154, dated 1 August), which regulates the procedure, requirements and evaluation criteria for the authorization of the implementation of university teachings leading to the official degrees of Bachelor, Master and Doctorate, of the Autonomous Community of the Canary Islands simply states that the project must foresee, within the context of the general competences of the degree, knowledge of a second language, which will preferably be English at an adequate level and in line with the needs of the graduates of each degree. It will be a requirement that at least 5% of the credits be taught in that second language. Consequently, English is not being included as a second language in the degree, since otherwise it would not have been authorized by the autonomous government of the Canary Islands at the time, as this is an aspect that is subject to specific evaluation in the protocol for processing degrees by the autonomous evaluation agency, ACECAU at the time and currently ACCUEE. For this reason, as an access requirement, as in all official Master's degrees from this University, it is required that students interested in studying these courses must have an accredited level B1 according to the CEFR.
