According to what is established in Article 16 of RD 1393/2007, modified by RD 861/2010, students who meet any of the following conditions may access Master's studies:

• Have an official Spanish university degree or other issued by a higher education institution in the European Higher Education Area that authorizes access to Master's degrees in the country that issued the degree.
• Graduates from educational systems outside the European Higher Education Area may access without having to homologate their degrees, after the University has verified that they certify a level of education equivalent to the corresponding official Spanish university degrees and that they authorize, in the issuing country, access to postgraduate education. Access through this route will not imply, in any case, the homologation of the previous degree held by the interested party, nor its recognition for other purposes than that of studying the Master's degree. In the cases in which the homologation of any degree, diploma or study obtained abroad is required to access the University, the Antonio de Nebrija University may conditionally admit students who prove that they have submitted the corresponding homologation application while the procedure is being resolved.
• In the case of students with special educational needs derived from disability, the need for possible curricular adaptations, itineraries or alternative studies will be assessed.

For its part, the admission profile for the Master's Degree in Educational Governance from the Antonio de Nebrija University is defined as follows: university graduate or equivalent (bachelor's and associate's degrees) in Teaching, Pedagogy, Psychology (with a specialization in education) or Psychopedagogy. Likewise, given the transversal nature of the program, students who have completed the Master's Degree in Teacher Training for Compulsory Secondary Education and Baccalaureate, Vocational Training and Language Teaching, or have the Teaching Aptitude Certificate (CAP), will be able to access the Master's Degree.

In general, the admission documentation must be submitted to the Admissions Department.

Students must provide the originals or certified copies of the documentation submitted within the period established by the University to formalize their enrollment. Any inaccuracy, falsity or omission of the data, statement or document provided by the student in the admission period will entail the impossibility of continuing to exercise the right from the moment in which the University has proof of such facts, proceeding to the cancellation of the admission application submitted and the place awarded, notwithstanding any criminal, civil or administrative responsibilities that may arise.

In order to access the official university master's degrees, it is necessary to submit the following documentation:

• Completed Admission Application.
• Identification document (D.N.I) or valid passport.
• 1 passport-size photograph.
• Academic transcript with the grades of the studies that grant access to the Master's degree.
• Certified photocopy of the official Spanish university degree or receipt thereof.

Foreign students

• Certified photocopy of the official degree issued by a foreign higher education institution belonging to the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) that authorizes, in the issuing country, access to official master's degrees.
• Certified photocopy of the official degree issued in a foreign educational system not belonging to the EHEA. In this case, access will be conditional on verification that the studies completed correspond to a level of education equivalent to that of the official Spanish university degrees, and that they enable access to official master's degrees in the country in which the degree was issued. This procedure does not imply, in any case, the homologation of the previous degree, nor its recognition for any purpose other than access to master's studies.
• Only if necessary, the foreign student will be asked for a letter issued by the University in which they have studied the level that grants access to the Master's studies in the issuing country.

In the event that the studies with which the Master's pre-enrollment is accessed are completed in a Foreign Higher Education Institution, both the degree and the academic transcript (grades) must be official and issued by the competent authorities, in accordance with the legal system of the country of origin.

If the number of applicants exceeds the number of places offered, the student's academic record (average grade) will be taken as admission criteria.

Therefore, anyone interested in accessing the studies of the Master's Degree in Educational Governance must present, without exception, their academic record, since the average grade will be what decides their admission to the Master's Degree, in the event that the number of applications exceed the number of places offered.

Once the places are full, in the event that there are more candidates interested in being admitted, they will remain on the waiting list in the event of possible vacancies that may arise before the start of the academic year, and the admission and selection criteria detailed in point 4 will be applied for the rest of applicants.

In addition to the evaluation of the academic merits provided by the candidate (20%), students must carry out a personal interview (75%) and an English level test (5%). The interview, oral or written, will be carried out by the Director of the Program, or those responsible to whom he/she delegates, or by university advisors; this interview is aimed at verifying the suitability of the candidate and his/her profile in accordance with the degree. This is to determine whether the candidate has sufficient motivation, training and knowledge, skills, aptitudes, communication skills, extracurricular activities and future interests necessary to be admitted as a student in the Nebrija University postgraduate courses.

The English level test aims to determine the level of English knowledge of students; a placement test will be applied at the beginning of the studies to assess the candidates' level. The English level test consists of an exam with multiple-choice questions, oral and written comprehension, and use of the language. It will not be necessary for the candidate to take this test if they submit certification that proves knowledge of English at B1 level of the CEFR.

In addition, foreign students whose mother tongue is not Spanish must take a Spanish level test in order to know the students' real level of knowledge of the language. It will not be necessary for the candidate to take the language placement test if they submit certification that proves knowledge of a Spanish language at B2 level of the CEFR. The accreditation of the level will be validated through the official degrees admitted by the table of certificates admitted by ACLES and/or Instituto Cervantes.

In order to access this Admission Process, candidates must have previously accredited that they have a degree in Teaching, Pedagogy, Psychology (with a major or specialty in education), Psychopedagogy, or hold a Master's degree in Teacher Training for Compulsory Secondary Education and Baccalaureate, Vocational Training and Language Teaching, or have the Teaching Aptitude Certificate (CAP).

Once the student has been admitted, they will proceed to enroll, which consists of the following phases:

Place reservation

Candidates must reserve a place. This economic pre-enrollment guarantees the candidate's place at the University. These annual registration fees will not be returned except for students who are conditionally admitted, or do not meet the legal access requirements, or due to a justifiable medical situation.

Enrollment

Pre-enrolled candidates who wish to formalize their academic enrollment at the University must follow these steps:

1. Submit documentation: prove that they meet the requirements established by Spanish university legislation for admission to the Master's Degree.
2. Formalize the enrollment process online: The self-enrollment service on the Nebrija website allows admitted students to carry out all the academic, economic and administrative procedures within the established deadlines. To do this, they will receive, together with their letter of admission, the access code and the personal password necessary to be able to carry out their self-enrollment. Once the self-enrollment has been formalized, the candidate acquires the status of a student at the Antonio de Nebrija University.
3. Make the payment of enrollment for the academic year, according to the modality chosen by the student.
