Admission process

As a public institution, the university admits students to study in accordance with the regulations and laws of Spain.

Undergraduate

Taking into account the basic education of the applicant, the admission process is carried out in 3 categories. The first involves applying after school based on a high school diploma. The document must be legalized by translation into Spanish. The legalization process is determined by the state and the educational system where the certificate was issued.

There are 2 types of procedure in total:

Homologation.
Obtaining a Credencial de Acceso permit.

In addition to the document on completion of school, representatives of some countries take the Unified State Examination.

The following admission option is adapted for students with incomplete higher education. The university recognizes only those courses that are part of the general educational program in Spain. Before submitting the application, the applicant needs to receive information about the procedure regulations.

The last way is admission on the basis of a bachelor’s degree. An applicant from another country must complete the diploma homologation or wait for partial recognition of the program.

Master’s degree

A bachelor’s degree or its translated equivalent must be presented as a basis for completing a master’s degree. The document is legalized and adapted to the regulations of the university. In addition, there is the possibility of submitting a primary application. Other requirements are determined by the training program and include the submission of a motivation sheet, a letter of recommendation and a resume.

Postgraduate studies

To enroll in graduate school, you should carefully study the doctoral programs. Then you need to get feedback from the department and start looking for a teacher who will be interested in your doctoral thesis. In addition, you will need to prepare a draft dissertation proposal. Depending on the faculty, the requirements for the design of the project may vary.

The admission process requires special responsibility and preparation. But this is justified by the opportunity to become a student of a prestigious university with a worldwide reputation.
