Applicants should meet the following requirements:

1. Hold an honours degree in Chemistry, Physics or Material Science, or any other level accepted by the legislations of the respective European country. Applicants holding other science degrees may be accepted, as long as they complement their basic training in the area under the supervision of a tutor.
2. Hold a recognised English-language qualification with an equivalent mark of at least 213/500 for TOEFL or a 6 for IELTS.

As can be seen in the entry requirements, students must have an adequate knowledge of English to follow the intensive course in the second year of the degree, which will be taught in English.

There is also the possibility for students to complement their knowledge, thereby meeting the basics required for the course, during their first year and with subjects totalling a maximum of 15 ECTS credits.

Applicants who meet criteria a) and b) will be rated by the International Committee using the following criteria:

• Their CV.
• A letter explaining why they want to study the course.
• Two references.

The requirements and criteria are the same for European students as those from countries outside the EU.

Students will have to register at one of the universities of the consortium. Forms can be downloaded from the course’s web page: http://mtccm.qui.uam.es/
