Once the Spanish students are enrolled in the master, they can send their application for participating in the Double Master’s Degree to the UAL International Office until the end of October.
UAL students enrolled in the Master’s degree in Industrial and Agri-Food Biotechnology will access the SUP Biotechnology Engineering Diploma for the second semester. Additionally, they must complete an extra semester in SUP, in such a way that, passing a total of 60 ECTS in SUP, the students of the Master’s degree in Industrial and Agri-Food Biotechnology from the UAL plus a six-month internship, will obtain the diploma of “Graduate in Biotechnology Engineering” by SupBiotech.
Admission at SupBiotech
Admission at SupBiotech
At SupBiotech students entering the first year of the five-year course must have a High school diploma and go through a competitive entrance exam (written tests and oral motivational interview) after which they are ranked and selected based on their results. Students can also apply to SupBiotech through a side track process, after having completed undergraduate studies at another institution. In this case, the application process includes an oral presentation on a scientific topic and a motivational interview. SUP students enrolled in the Engineering Degree in Biotechnology will access the Spanish Educational System to study the Master’s degree in Industrial and Agri-Food Biotechnology at the UAL after having passed at least 240 ECTS in their university of origin (fifth years students), which guarantees that they have acquired the skills and learning results verified in the Master’s Degree in Industrial and Agri-Food Biotechnology at the UAL.
