Here's all the administrative steps to acces an Official Masters at EINA. The procedure is different from non-Official Masters or postgraduate courses.
In addition, you can find other reference documents (forms, calendar, standards, etc.), in the master's and postgraduates page.
You can apply for a place if you meet the following requirements:
Academic requirements
To gain admission to a Master's Course, it is essential, at the time of enrolment, to hold a university degree or equivalent (EHEA university degree of a minimum of 180 ECTS credits; an undergraduate degree, diploma or engineering degree prior to the implementation of the EHEA of a minimum of 3 academic years).
Languages
Spanish will be the main language. Students must be able to understand, speak and write it. English will be used in some courses, so students should also have a minimum level. It is not necessary to speak Catalan.
Foreign students
Legalisation of Degree and other documents
The documentation referring to the degree and the academic certificate issued by institutions in the European Union, in signatory countries of the European Economic Area Agreement and in Switzerland must be official and have been issued by the competent authorities. The documentation referring to the degree and the academic certificate issued by institutions in non-EU countries must be official, have been issued by the competent authorities and must be legalised by diplomatic means or, if necessary, by means of the apostille of the Hague Convention or of the Andrés Bello Convention.

The applicant must arrange this and pay the cost of it.
