    Universidad Carlos III de Madrid reinforces its commitment to society by launching its new Master in Teacher Training for Compulsory Secondary Education, Baccalaureate and Vocational Training. This program was created with the goal of training the educators of tomorrow, combining a solid pedagogical foundation with innovative methodologies, a clear practical approach to the curriculum contents—including frequent workshops and 12 ECTS credits to be completed in educational centers—and the scientific rigor that characterizes our institution.

    The new Master's program aims to offer a comprehensive and rigorous training on the various aspects of the teaching profession. Graduates of this Master's program will acquire the ability to apply the expected knowledge and skills, and will solve teaching-specific problems across the diverse environments and contexts in which their work takes place.

    Students will be able to integrate their knowledge and face the complexity of the system and the teaching-learning processes, including relevant reflections on the social and ethical responsibilities linked to their roles as educators. They will master the classroom ecosystem through a direct immersion that will facilitate the acquisition of critical skills to lead it, ensuring an effective transition into professional practice and an empathetic capacity to respond to student diversity. They will know how to communicate and justify their conclusions, judgments, and decisions to both educational professionals and specialists, as well as to the school community and society at large.

    The new Master's program will begin in the 2026/27 academic year, offering 3 specializations:

    • Spanish Language and Literature (Getafe Campus)
    • Philosophy (Getafe Campus)
    • Technology (Leganés Campus)

      ADMISSION PROCESS 26/27
      SECOND PERIOD: JUNE 21 TO JULY 31

      The request must be submitted electronically through our application system. Before beginning the admission process, please read the following information:

      Requirements

      Section 4.2 of Order ECI/3858/2007, of December 27, establishes the following admission requirements for the Master’s degree in relation to the students' prior university degree:

      “For admission to the Master's degree, an entry requirement is established consisting of the accreditation of mastery of the competencies related to the specialization to be pursued, by means of an exam designed for this purpose by the Universities. Those in possession of any of the university degrees that correspond to the chosen specialization shall be exempt from this exam.”

      By virtue of the foregoing, during the admission process, students must prove that they hold—or are in a position to hold within the period stipulated by the university—a degree that guarantees mastery of the competencies related to the specialization they wish to pursue.

      Additionally, Section 4.2 of Order ECI/3858/2007, of December 27, establishes that a requirement for admission to the Master’s degree is the accreditation of proficiency in a foreign language, equivalent to level B1 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).
       

      Admission criteria

      The student selection will be made on the following criteria:

      **The highest score will be awarded to applicants who demonstrate, in their résumé, relevant academic achievements or other merits that indicate their readiness and potential for success in the program, and whose statement of purpose clearly outlines their goals, how those goals align with the program’s objectives, and their commitment to the field of study.

      ADMISSION PROFILE

      The master's program is designed for those who wish to obtain comprehensive, well-rounded training tailored to the current needs of the job market in order to pursue a career as a teacher in Compulsory Secondary Education, Upper Secondary Education, and/or Vocational Training.

      Language requirements

      The master’s program is taught in Spanish. Students whose native language is not Spanish must demonstrate their spoken and written proficiency at a level equal to or higher than B2 on the CEFR by submitting an official certificate or proof that they completed their previous university studies in Spanish.

      In addition, Section 4.2 of Order ECI/3858/2007, dated December 27, stipulates that admission to the master’s program requires proof of proficiency in a foreign language equivalent to level B1 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.

      students with foreign university degrees

      Please note that due to the fact that this Master’s program grants you access to regulated professions, it needs to comply with a special legislation that requires those applicants with foreign degrees to have their degrees previously accredited and recognized by our Ministry of Education of Spain.

      For more information, you should check the Ministry’s website: Higher Education Homologation. It is important to know that this process may take around 9 to 12 months, approximately.

      For this reason, unless your previous studies have been previously accredited and recognized by our Ministry of Education, we strongly advise you not to apply for this Master’s program.
