ENEB New Master Thread

[Kab]

I'll just leave this here!

In my humble opinion this sentence you mentioned means that according to Spain’s Real Decreto 1393/2007, only up to 15% of an official master’s degree can be filled with credits from títulos propios or professional experience. This is the way to say from another source than the master itself. Some universities even spell it out clearly, for example, UDIMA and UPV explicitly say they’ll recognize a max of 15 ECTS in their master’s programs. That’s why, in cases like the one here, you often see “up to 15” or “15 will be recognized” it’s basically following that rule from the decree. Also in my opinion if the receiving university want they can also accept it from the old diploma of UI1.
There is an exception to the 15% and can be more (up to 100% of the credits) but needs special circumstances and only if the "titulo propio" is substituted by an "Master universitario oficial" degree. Not the case here.

The original of the law in spanish: "3. El número de créditos que sean objeto de reconocimiento a partir de experiencia profesional o laboral y de enseñanzas universitarias no oficiales no podrá ser superior, en su conjunto, al 15 por ciento del total de créditos que constituyen el plan de estudios. El reconocimiento de estos créditos no incorporará calificación de los mismos por lo que no computarán a efectos de baremación del expediente.

4. No obstante lo anterior, los créditos procedentes de títulos propios podrán, excepcionalmente, ser objeto de reconocimiento en un porcentaje superior al señalado en el párrafo anterior o, en su caso, ser objeto de reconocimientos en su totalidad siempre que el correspondiente título propio haya sido extinguido y sustituido por un título oficial."

But this law is only for Master Degree gained under Spanish Law. If another Master degree is Official then the number of credits is not limited by this law (but can for other laws or university regulations).
