Special examination session

You may request a special examination session for a course that you have already taken in previous academic years if you have no more than two courses left to complete your degree (not counting the master's dissertation).

This special examination session will be subject to the requirements set out in the course guide corresponding to the previous academic year.

If you attend this special examination session but do not obtain a pass, you will only be allowed to attend one of the two remaining examination sessions for that academic year. If you do not attend the special examination session, it will not count towards the two exam sessions per academic year nor towards the total maximum of 6 sessions allowed.

If you wish to apply for this special examination session, you must submit a request to the Direction of the International School for Postgraduate Studies within the period established in the official calendar. Please use the corresponding form available on the UGR e-Administration Platform (Sede Electrónica)..

The minimum number of credits that master's degree students must take and the available modes of study are as follows:

Full-time registration:

In order to be considered a full-time student, master's degree students must take between 42 and 60 credits, both inclusive. This is the standard mode of study for new master's degree students at the University of Granada. Exceptionally, a greater number of credits may be taken depending on the Regulations for formal registration that are issued each academic year.

Part-time registration:

In order to be considered a part-time student, master's degree students must take between 24 and 41 credits, both inclusive.

New students wishing to study part-time must apply for this mode of study within the period established in the official academic calendar. In their application, they will be asked to provide documentary evidence of the reasons that prevent them from studying full-time.

Likewise, they will have to indicate which courses they wish to withdraw from.

Please check the section Modifying or cancelling your registration.

Reduced credit load:

This mode of study is exceptional in nature and is aimed at those who wish to undertake some courses at the University of Granada without seeking to obtain a university degree. Students wishing to apply for this mode of study must meet the established requirements for access to master's degree studies and cannot be registered in any other official degree programme at the University of Granada. The number of credits to be taken in this mode of study must range between 6 and 24.

If you choose this mode, you can apply for registration at the International School for Postgraduate Studies during the registration modification period. This application must be reported to the master's degree coordinator and decided by the Direction of the International School for Postgraduate Studies. You can only register for courses that have not yet started and have vacant places.

Pre-registration calendar and registration

General remarks:

- IMPORTANT: Please note that the minimum number of credits that you must register for in accordance with the UGR's registration rules is different from the minimum required for the Spanish Ministry's grant (this applies to both full-time and part-time registration. Therefore, if you plan to apply for this grant, you must meet the requirements set out in the call for applications, which can be found on the website of the UGR Grants Service.

- Once you have requested a change of study mode to any of the three available modes (full-time, part-time, reduced credit load), no further changes will be authorised during the ongoing academic year except if these are based on unforeseen and well-documented reasons.

- In any case, the choice between the modes of study listed above will be conditioned by the requirements and limitations established in your curriculum.

- Studying more than one official degree at the same time does not determine or have any effect on your mode of study.

We distinguish between three cases:

• Modifying your registration

• Changing your mode of study

• Cancelling your registration

Registration modification:

You can make changes to your registration (registering for additional courses, changing your courses) within the periods established in the academic calendar. Registration modifications must be made in accordance with the academic requirements set out in section Minimum number of credits to take and modes of study. According to these requirements, you must take between 42 and 75 ECTS credits.

First period: 27 September to 26 October 2021 (for first-semester or annual courses)

Second period: 12 January to 25 February 2022 (for second-semester courses)

Modifications to your registration must be done via the corresponding application, accessible via your «Acceso Identificado» Student Account. .

If your registration modification implies a reduction in your credits, please check the section Cancellation of registration (total or partial).

If you do not pay the corresponding fees for the modification of your registration, such modification will be deemed withdrawn.

Modifications will not be accepted if you have not provided proof that you are up-to-date with your fee payments. In any case, the modification must be approved by the International School for Postgraduate Studies.

Changing your mode of study

If you wish to reduce your credit load below 42 ECTS credits, you must apply for a change in your mode of study. In your application, you will have to provide documentary evidence justifying the need for this reduction. Once you have checked the information in the section Minimum number of credits to take and modes of study, you can apply for a change in your mode of study through the UGR Electronic Register. Please attach to your application any supporting documents justifying the need for this change. If the authenticity of these documents cannot be verified by electronic means, the staff of the International School for Postgraduate Studies may request you to submit the original documents.

Cancellation of registration (total or partial)

Complete cancellation means dropping out of your degree programme for a full academic year, whereas partial cancellation means dropping one or several master's degree courses.

If you apply for total or partial cancellation after the corresponding registration modification period has ended you will not be entitled to a refund of the fees paid, except for reasons attributable to the University of Granada.

In order to have your documents legalised diplomatically, these must be presented at:

1. The issuing country's ministry of Education in the case of degree and study certificates, and the relevant ministry in the case of certificates of birth and nationality.

2. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the issuing country.

3. The Spanish diplomatic or consular offices located in said country.
