4. RESOLUTION

The Student Admission or Selection Committee of each master’s program will assess the applications according to the admission criteria and scales established in the verification reports, with the resolution of the procedure corresponding to the Vice-Rector for Students and Coordination.

In the provisional and final results, priority for admission will be given to students who hold a university degree over those who are still in the process of completing their undergraduate studies. Once the scoring system has been applied with the specific criteria for each master’s program, applications from graduates will be prioritized and ranked in descending order from highest to lowest score. Following this, applications from students without a degree will be ranked in the same descending order, with preference given to those who have the fewest credits remaining to complete their undergraduate studies. This process will continue until all available places in the master’s program are filled. All applications on the waiting list will be ranked in descending order using the same criteria.

In the final results, if the access qualification is from outside the EESS, the student will be excluded for not being a graduate, as well as students with a Spanish or EESS degree who still need to complete their access studies, the Final Degree Project and more than 9 ECTS credits.
