Access

Access is open to candidates of any nationality who have the academic level qualifying them to carry out postgraduate studies in their country of origin, or the equivalent to 240 ECTS credits of undergraduate studies. The Master is held biennially, so candidates can enrol in the first part of the programme every two years.

The Master is designed for students complying with the following conditions:

  • University degree related with the topic of the Master; preference will be given to graduates in Marine Science, Biology, Agronomy, Fisheries, Economics, Administration, Business Management and Law. Candidates with professional experience in the specialist topics will be given preference..
  • Knowledge of Spanish, which will be the working language. From July to September, an intensive Spanish language course is organized for those students who may need it. At the end of this course, students must achieve a B1 level equivalent to that laid down in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).
  • Knowledge of English, since part of the Master documentation may be written in this language. This knowledge must be credited by an A2 level certification, equivalent to that laid down in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), or equivalent level in their country of origin’s certifications. If necessary, this accreditation may be replaced by a written comprehension test of scientific English to those pre-admitted not providing such certification.

Other candidates

They should pre-register and enrol at UA in the periods and in compliance with the rules defined on the website: https://ciencias.ua.es/en/estudios/master-s-degrees/master-s-degree-in-sustainable-fisheries-management.html

Candidates who cannot present their complete dossiers with their application or who need to obtain prior authorization to participate may be admitted on a provisional basis.

It is advisable to consult the informative brochure published when the application period for each new edition starts.

Students from non-EU countries should make the necessary administrative arrangements far enough in advance with their closest Spanish Embassy or Consulate to obtain a visa to enter and stay in Spain.

Requisites for access to the second part of the programme

To be able to pursue the second part of the Master, the student must have passed all the Units of the first part of the Master and submitted the Master Thesis protocol supported by the tutor and the institution in which this activity will be developed.

The protocols are examined by an evaluation committee formed by the UA/IAMZ-CIHEAM Studies Commission of the Master and Master lecturers, who will consider: (i) the coherence and viability of the project; (ii) the scientific-technical guarantees of the supervisors and host institutions; and (iii) the concordance between the topics chosen and previous training of the candidate, the foreseeable professional insertion and the training or productive demands in the student's country of origin.
