Students are required to demonstrate their eligibility for master's degrees at a Spanish university in accordance with current regulations. Those who are interested in pursuing the Technological Master's degree in Engineering and Management of Cybersecurity and Cloud Computing should possess a profile that blends a curiosity for technology with innovation. They should have an interest in research and a clear commitment to continuous learning, driven by their curiosity in the field of Cybersecurity.

Graduates from educational systems outside the European Higher Education Area may gain admission without the need for validation of their degrees. This is subject to verification by the University that they have attained a level of education equivalent to the respective official Spanish university degrees required, and that their degrees grant them eligibility for postgraduate education in the country where the degree was issued. Admission via this route will not, under any circumstances, imply the validation of the applicant's prior degree, nor its recognition for any purpose other than pursuing Master's degrees.

For students with special educational needs arising from disabilities, the potential requirement for curricular adaptations, alternative study paths or itineraries will be assessed.

Generally, applicants will submit their admission documentation to Nebrija University's Admissions Department. Students are required to provide either the originals or certified copies of the submitted documents within the timeframe set by the University for formalizing their enrollment.

Any inaccuracies, falsehoods, or omissions in the data, statements, or documents provided by the student during the admission period will result in the inability to continue exercising their rights from the moment the University becomes aware of such issues. This will lead to the cancellation of the submitted admission application and the revocation of the place awarded, without prejudice to any criminal, civil, or administrative liabilities that may arise.

To apply for the university's master's degrees, the following documentation must be submitted:

• Completed Admission Application.
• Valid ID or passport.
• 2 passport-sized photographs.
• If necessary, a letter issued by the University confirming completion of the level of study that grants access to the Master's Degree in the country where the degree was issued.
• Academic Record with grades that grant access to the Master's program.
• Official Spanish university diploma.
• Official diploma issued by a foreign higher education institution within the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) that grants access to official master's degrees in the country of issue.
• Official diploma issued by a foreign educational system outside the EHEA. In this case, access will be conditional upon verification that the completed studies correspond to a level of education equivalent to official Spanish university degrees and that they grant access to official master's studies in the country where the degree was issued. This procedure does not imply, under any circumstances, the validation of the previous degree, nor its recognition for any purpose other than access to master's studies.
• Personalized letter of intent addressed to the Director of the Master's Program, Enrique Cervantes Mora, explaining the reasons for wishing to pursue Master's studies, as well as the academic and professional expectations that have led to this choice.
• Updated Curriculum Vitae.

Personal Interview

The teaching staff or university advisors from the University will conduct an interview. The aim of this interview is to verify the candidate's suitability and alignment with the degree requirements. The interview will assess whether the candidate possesses the necessary motivation, education, knowledge, abilities, aptitudes, communication skills, extracurricular activities, and future interests to be admitted into the postgraduate courses at Nebrija University.

Credit Recognition and Transfer System

A recognition study will be conducted based on the degree presented and the Bachelor's studies undertaken. This study must align with specific content and competences.

A maximum of 8 ECTS may be recognized for subjects that are related to the categories of “normal” or “project”, excluding the Master's Final Project.
