The application for admission to the Master's program is done electronically through our on-line admissions application. Before starting the admission process it is advisable to consult the following information and follow the instructions described in Admission step by step:
Specific Admission Requirements
In accordance with the Order CIN/355/2009 of February 9, which establishes the requirements for the verification of official university degrees enabling the practice of the Telecommunication Engineer profession:
- Access to the Master's program that enables the practice of the Telecommunication Engineer profession is granted to those who have previously acquired the competencies outlined in section 3 of the Ministerial Order establishing the requirements for the verification of official university degrees enabling the practice of the Telecommunication Technical Engineer profession. Their training must align with that specified in section 5 of the aforementioned Ministerial Order.
- Additionally, access to the Master's program is allowed when the interested student’s undergraduate degree attests to having completed the basic training module and the common module of the branch, even if not covering an entire block of the specific technology module. The undergraduate degree should include 48 credits from the offered credits across all blocks of that module, from a degree enabling the practice of a Technical Telecommunication Engineer, in accordance with the aforementioned Ministerial Order.
It is not possible for students with Bachelor's degrees not related to the Telecommunications Branch to access the Master's Degree.
There is an option to pursue a combined program, leading to the attainment of a dual Master's degree, combining the Master's in Telecommunication Engineering with one of the following Master's programs:
- University Master's in Research and Innovation in Computational Intelligence and Interactive Systems.
- University Master's in Deep Learning for Audio and Video Signal Processing.
Documentation to be attached to the application
Mandatory documents:
- DNI / Passport
- Academic transcript of grades of undergraduate studies (1)

Documentos opcionales:
- Proof of English language proficiency at B2 level. (4)
- Application for the combined program University Master's in Telecommunication Engineering + Master's in Research and Innovation in Computational Intelligence and Interactive Systems
- Application for the combined program University Master's in Telecommunication Engineering + Master's in Deep Learning for Audio and Video Signal Processing
(1) The academic transcript must be translated if it is not in the Spanish language. It will not be necessary to translate documents if they are in English, French, Italian or Portuguese.
In the case of having taken Master’s/Doctoral studies, we recommend including them as additional documents to your application.
(2) If you have studied in Spain, you should attach a Certificate showing the average grade (on a scale of 0 to 10). If you have already studied at UAM, you will not need to submit this certificate.
If you have studied outside of Spain, you will need to submit the average grade equivalence issued by the Ministry of Education and Vocational Training (see section “related links”).
(3) Students who have completed their undergraduate studies in foreign institutions but cannot complete this report must submit or send by postal mail to the Master's Secretariat* the detailed syllabus of all the subjects in the studies they are accrediting. Along with the application, instead of the mentioned report, they should attach a written statement verifying the submission and its date.
(4) It is recommended that newly admitted students demonstrate a minimum proficiency in the English language at the B2 level or higher to better benefit from the subjects. In the case of non-native speakers, this level of English proficiency must be certified by one of the official certificates accepted by the UAM. If the certificate is not available, this aspect of English language proficiency may be assessed in more detail in a personal interview if deemed necessary by the Commission.
