A master’s degree at this level is for applicants who want to specialise after a bachelor’s degree. It suits people aiming for advanced study in arts, design, or architecture, rather than an entry route from school.

The universities in this group are all public. Several are in large cities, including Madrid and Elche, while others are in places such as Girona, Lleida, Cantabria, and Castilla La Mancha, so location and pace will differ. Fees are published for some programmes and not for others, so cost comparison needs checking university by university.

Before applying, confirm the exact programme title, tuition fee, entry requirements, and deadline with the university. Also check language of instruction, whether the course is full-time or part-time, and any portfolio or prior study requirements tied to the specific master’s you want.
