University of La Coruña/Santander Universities - UDC-Banco Santander Master Scholarships

UDC-Banco Santander Master Scholarships

You will receive a one-off 1,000 EUR (gross) for one academic year to cover the costs of your Master’s degree at the University of A Coruña (UDC). The funding comes from a joint programme run by the UDC and Banco Santander. For 2026/27, the two partners are awarding a total of 200 scholarships, of which 60 are for Master’s students.

Who can apply

• Where you study: You are enrolled on an official Master’s programme at the University of La Coruña for the current academic year.
• Enrolment: You are enrolled on a full-time degree programme with a minimum of 60 credit points. Credit points that have been recognised, validated, adjusted or transferred by another institution do not count towards this minimum.
• Fees: You have paid your public tuition fees up to the present date.
• Nationality: Applicants of all nationalities are welcome to apply. If you are a student from a non-EU country, you must provide proof of your legal residence in Spain by means of your NIE residence card. A passport alone is not sufficient.
• Field of study: All subjects are open.
• Grades: The ranking is based on the average mark (on a scale of 10) for the qualification that enabled you to gain entry to the Master’s programme. A bonus multiplier applies to certain subject areas: ×1.17 for engineering and architecture, ×1.11 for natural sciences and ×1.05 for health sciences.

How to apply

You will need to register twice, in the following order: first on the Banco Santander platform (Santander Open Academy), then via the UDC online form using your UDC email address. The Santander registration deadline for 2026/27 is 23:59 on 7 October 2026. The UDC form remains open until 23:59 on 8 October 2026. Selection is based solely on the grade point average in the ranking list, without an interview or panel assessment.
