In accordance with the provisions of article 18 of Royal Decree 822/2021, of September 28, which establishes the organization of university education and the procedure for ensuring its quality, in order to access official master's degrees it will be necessary to be in possession of an official Spanish university degree, or, where appropriate, have another University Master's degree, or another issued by a higher education institution in a country of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) that enables access to Master's studies in that country.

Likewise, those with degrees from educational systems outside the EHEA may access the programme without the need for their degrees to be recognised, subject to verification by the university that these certify a level of training equivalent to the corresponding official Spanish university degrees and that they entitle the applicant to access postgraduate studies in the country that issued the degree. Access via this route will not, under any circumstances, imply the recognition of the previous degree held by the interested party, nor its recognition for any purpose other than to undertake Master's studies.

As this is a qualification that gives access to the professional title of Captain of the Merchant Navy, the conditions for access to the master's degree must comply with the provisions of the Resolution of the General Secretariat of Universities, dated January 20, 2016 (BOE of June 23) by which the Agreement of the Council of Universities is published, which establishes recommendations for the proposal by universities of application reports for official degrees in the fields of Nautical and Maritime Transport, Marine Technologies, Marine Electrotechnology and Naval Radioelectronics.

Merchant Marine, the conditions for access to the Master in Management in Nautical and Maritime Transport are as follows:

In order to access the Master's degree linked to the profession of Merchant Navy Captain, the interested person must have previously acquired the skills listed in section 3 of Annex II of this Agreement establishing the recommendations for the verification of official university degrees linked to the exercise of the profession of Merchant Navy pilot, and their training must be in accordance with that established in section 5 of the aforementioned Annex II.
2. Likewise, access to the Master's degree will be permitted when the interested person's degree, even if it does not cover all the specific subjects of the degree linked to the profession of Merchant Navy Pilot, complies with the proposed blocks and competencies in accordance with Annex II of the aforementioned Agreement of the Council of Universities.
