Direct master's admission application

General information

What is the direct master's admission application?

This is the enrolment application submitted by master's students without having to re-apply for a place through the ordinary admission procedure.

Who can take part?

Students who fulfil the following circumstances have direct admission to the official master's programme that they have requested:

1.    Students from a curriculum that is ending and being adapted to the replacement curriculum. In this instance, students need to fill in the adaptation application. The following rules must be followed:

o    The adaptation application implicitly includes the accreditation request for credits on the new curriculum that have been passed on the old one. Therefore, it is subject to the corresponding public fee, where applicable

o    The adaptation process will close the academic record for the old curriculum and no enrolment or accreditation thereof will be possible

o    Adaptation is subject to what is set out in the academic progress regulations for students.

2.    Students who have been penalised for not having fulfilled the academic progress regulations. Where students are penalised due to failure to comply with the academic progress regulations they may, after the penalty period has ended, request immediate readmission, notwithstanding what is set out in the academic progress regulations.  

3.    Students who, after starting a UIB master's programme, temporarily leave, as long as they comply with the corresponding academic progress regulations.

4.    New students who request and obtain a full enrolment cancellation from the previous year in accordance with the academic regulations.

Direct admission will be assessed in the following instances:

· Grantholders of competitive grants awarded by the UIB or external institutions, in line with the nature of these scholarships

· Students from double degree programmes and joint programmes with other universities, as long as they have passed a prior selection process, the possibility is included in the approved learning project for the double degree or, in the case of joint degrees, the possibility is included in the governing agreement.

Where an application is rejected, candidates may lodge an appeal to the relevant Pro Vice-Chancellor within five working days following receipt of the corresponding notification.

Part-time students

In accordance with Article 7 of the Academic Regulations, students who for different circumstances are unable to following the programme full time, in line with the minimum number of enrolment credits and the academic progress regulationsmay request part-time status.

In this sense, the minimum number of enrolment credits for new students is lowered (instead of 30 credits for full-time students, part-time students take 15 credits), as is the minimum number of credits to be passed to continue on the programme (instead of 40% of enrolled credits for full-time students, part-time students must pass 10% of enrolled credits).

Students applying for direct master's admission can also apply for part-time student status in UIBdigital and attach the relevant supporting documents.
