Podrán acceder al Programa de Máster Universitario en Gestión de Riesgos en Conflictos todos aquellos postulantes que cumplan con los requisitos que impone la legislación vigente, con titulación de diplomatura/grado o licenciatura en cualquier área de las ciencias sociales, que estén interesados en adquirir formación en el ámbito del análisis y resolución de conflictos, que hayan superado en sus titulaciones universitarias de grado o equivalentes, al menos 6 ECTS o carga lectiva equivalente, con materias directamente relacionadas con el análisis y/o la resolución de conflictos, incluidas materias jurídicas o de relaciones internacionales, con capacidad de diálogo, mentalidad abierta, disposición para compartir y participar activamente en el desarrollo del curso, así como con capacidad para concluir en las fechas indicadas las tareas y trabajos que se indiquen, y que además cumplan con las exigencias de la Prueba de Admisión y con las Capacidades básicas que en ella se valoran (se describen más adelante).

In accordance with the provisions of Article 16 of RD 1393/2007, modified by RD 861/2010, students who meet any of the following conditions may access these studies:

• Be the holder of an official Spanish university degree or any other issued by a higher education institution of the European Higher Education Area that empowers the issuer of the degree to access Master's degree education.
• Graduates of educational systems from outside the European Higher Education Area may access without the need for homologation of their degrees, after the University has verified that they accredit a level of education equivalent to the corresponding official Spanish university degrees and that they grant, in the country issuing the degree, access to postgraduate education. The access through this path will not imply, in any case, the homologation of the interested party's previous degree, 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 studies 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 for this homologation is resolved. Within the Academic Planning Plan implemented by the University, the "Conditional Enrollment Procedure" has been developed, which includes these provisions.
• In case of students with special educational needs derived from disability, the need for possible curricular adaptations, itineraries or alternative studies will be evaluated.

Submitting the necessary documentation for admission.

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

The student must provide the originals or certified copies of the documentation submitted, within a 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 determine the impossibility of continuing with the exercise of the right from the moment in which the University has evidence of such facts, proceeding to the cancellation of the admission application submitted and the place that was awarded, without prejudice to the criminal, civil or administrative responsibilities that may have arisen.

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

• Completed Admission Application
• Valid ID Document, D.N.I or passport
• 2 Passport-size photographs.
• If necessary, a letter issued by the University where the level granting access to the Master's degree study was studied in the issuing country
• Academic record with the grades that grant access to the Master's degree.
• Official Spanish university degree.
• 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 the master's degree courses.
• Official degree issued in a foreign educational system not belonging to the EHEA. In this case, the access will be conditioned to the verification that the studied courses correspond to a level of education equivalent to that of the official Spanish university degrees and that they qualify to access official master's studies in the country in which the degree has been issued. This procedure does not imply, in any case, the homologation of the previous degree, nor its recognition for any purpose other than that of accessing the master studies.
• Personalized letter of intent addressed to the Director of the Master's Degree in Conflict Risk Management in which the student explains the reasons why he/she wants to carry out the Master's studies, as well as the academic and professional expectations that lead him/her to choose it.
• Updated Curriculum Vitae
• Two letters of recommendation.

In the case that the studies with which the student accesses the pre-enrollment of the Master's degree are taken in a Foreign Higher Education institution, both the diploma and the academic record (grades) must be official and be issued by the competent authorities, in accordance with the legal system of the country of origin. In addition, they will have to meet the detailed requirements indicated in the "Master_PO12 access and admission procedure" of the Teaching Development Plan implemented by the University.

Además de la evaluación de los méritos académicos aportados por el candidato, los estudiantes deberán realizar las siguientes pruebas que forman parte del proceso de admisión.

• 1.- Foreign language level test
  In order to know the student's real level of knowledge of the foreign language, the Institute of Modern Languages will design a test of language positioning. The level tests consist of a written exam with multiple choice questions, oral and written comprehension, and use of the language, with a duration of 60 minutes. They are taken in person or online. Depending on the results of this test, the student will be placed at the corresponding level.
  The student who decides to take the courses in English must reach a B2 level in the test to ensure that this language can be the vehicular language of their academic program and, therefore, that they can achieve the competences corresponding to each subject. If this level test is not passed, the student must take the courses in Spanish.
  
  In any case, those students who are going to study subjects in English, and who do not have English as their mother tongue, must accredit a minimum English level of B2 in the European Common Framework, in order to be able to study these subjects in English. Likewise, for non-Spanish-speaking students who wish to take Spanish courses, they must demonstrate a minimum Spanish level of B2 in the European Common Framework.
• 2.- Personal interview
  Performed by the faculty or advisors of the University, this interview is aimed at checking the candidate's suitability and profile in accordance with the degree. The aim is to determine if 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 postgraduate studies at Nebrija University.
