Many "Blanquerna teachers" who are already working around the world endorse this.

It combines close guidance and work in small groups, simulations and professionalizing experiences, learning situated in social contexts, and the connection between disciplines, courses, degrees, and professions. In this way, students build meaningful knowledge and develop the competencies needed to engage with a complex and changing world.

Application for admission
The application process for a place in the 2026-2027 academic year is now open and consists of three phases:
- Application for admission
- Admission
- Enrollment
1. Application for admission
The application for a place can be made online or in person and entitles the applicant to participate in the admission process.
It can be done via the Application for admission button on the page for each degree, or directly from here, and requires:
- Registering in the single registration system and creating a user account (if not done previously).
- Making a payment of €50 (non-refundable) for admission rights and procedures. This can be done with a credit or debit card through a secure and confidential process with BBVA bank.
- Uploading the documentation to the document repository before the deadline for the place application process.
- Identification document (DNI, NIE, Passport)
- Certification of university entrance qualifications (PAU (University Entrance Exams), CFGS (Higher-Level Vocational Training), International Baccalaureate Diploma, etc.) if available at the time of applying for a place.
It can be done at the School itself, by going to the Student Information and Guidance Service (SIOE), and the following must be submitted:
- Photocopy of the identification document (DNI, NIE, Passport)
- Photocopy of the certification of university entrance qualifications (PAU (University Entrance Exams), CFGS, International Baccalaureate Diploma, etc.) if available at the time of applying for a place.
- Payment of €50 (non-refundable) for admission rights and procedures. This can be made in cash or with a credit or debit card.
IMPORTANT – DEGREE IN PSYCHOLOGY: Students coming from previously started university studies:
If, at the time of applying for a place in the Psychology degree program, as well as for any double degree involving either of these programs (e.g., Psychology and Speech Therapy or Nursing and Nutrition), the applicant has already begun university studies, they must contact the Faculty’s Student Information and Guidance Service.
2. Admission
Approximately within two working days after the place application, the student will be informed by email about their admission. If admitted, the same message will invite them to formalize enrollment, including instructions on when and how to complete the procedure.
The criterion used to call admitted students to formalize enrollment will be the order of payment of the place application. For degrees with more than one shift, note that a shift may fill up during the enrollment period. The place will be definitive once the student has submitted the documentation with the final university entrance information and the first enrollment payment has been made.
For degrees taught in English, students must demonstrate a minimum B2 level of English to be admitted. The level can be accredited through the level test that all degree students must take before starting their program. To prove the minimum level, an official language certificate of B2 or higher can also be submitted: IELTS (6-7), TOEFL (IBT 90-110), CAMBRIDGE, or Official Language Schools, obtained within the last two years. Certificates from other organizations will not be accepted. The certificate does not exempt students from taking the level test to determine the English level for the first year.
It is the student's responsibility to have a level equivalent to B2 in the language of instruction of the degree to properly follow classes
3. Enrollment
The student called to enroll may choose between two options, depending on whether they already have the definitive entrance pathway or not.
- Conditional Enrollment
Enrollment in the degree can be formalized before passing the PAU (University Entrance Exams) or CFGS or having the entrance pathway. Enrollment will be conditional on the presentation of the corresponding admission pathway. This option secures the place and allows choosing the shift, in the case of degrees with more than one shift, while places are available.
If the student does not obtain the entrance pathway, the enrollment fee will be refunded, but they will lose the place, preference in shift selection, and the amount paid for the place application (€50). If places remain available in July, they may choose to stay on the waiting list until September, and the money will be held, but they will no longer have preference for shift selection. If they do not obtain the entrance pathway by September, the enrollment fee paid will be refunded.
- Final enrollment
It will be formalized if, at the time of processing the enrollment, the student already has the university entrance pathway. They may opt for the available places and shifts.
IMPORTANT: Degrees with more than one shift may exhaust places in a specific schedule with conditional enrollment. The required documentation must be uploaded via the Document Repository.
The place will be definitive once the student has submitted the documentation with the final university entrance information and the first enrollment payment has been made.
NOTE: Students in the Communication Degrees must take an English level test that will not be exclusionary for admission but will determine the level at which they start the first year. Each student will be informed of the test date and time by email.
Studies can be paid upfront and/or in interest-free installments. If payment by installment is selected, upon enrollment the student will have two business days to pay 50% of the total cost of the enrolled credits, using their chosen form of payment; this payment will not be taken by direct debit. The remaining 50% will be divided into nine monthly payments from October to June via bank direct debit from the account provided at the time of enrollment. Prices for each academic year are updated annually.
Once payment is made, the corresponding receipt of enrollment can be viewed in the student's Document Repository and via the student's portal.
INTERNATIONAL OR FOREIGN STUDENTS
For the foreign student admission process, the following considerations and requirements must be taken into account in accordance with the prevailing regulations.
Students must apply to the Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia (UNED) to obtain the credential certifying that they meet the requirements to access university studies within the state education system (UNED Credential). Therefore, they do not need to take the PAU (University Entrance Exams), but without the mentioned credential, they cannot enroll in our degrees.
The education systems that can be accessed through this pathway are: Germany, Andorra, Austria, European Schools (European baccalaureate), International Baccalaureate, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Denmark, Slovakia, Slovenia, Estonia, Finland, France, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Norway, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, the United Kingdom, the Czech Republic, Romania, Sweden, Switzerland, China and Cyprus.
These students may access our degrees by submitting the homologation of the High School diploma from the Spanish Ministry of Education or from the autonomous communities with transferred competence, such as the Generalitat de Catalunya. Proof of application for convalidation will be sufficient for students to enroll and begin taking a bachelor's degree course, however full enrollment is conditional on convalidation being confirmed. Bear in mind that convalidating studies can take more than three months to complete, so this process should be done in parallel with the admissions process to our bachelor's degrees. If the convalidation resolution is not obtained in the terms requested by the interested party, the results of any exams taken, or the enrollment made as a result thereof, are rendered null and void.

Gender perspective
As the European Union points out, gender equality is not only a matter of social justice but also affects the results of teaching and research. Promoting gender equality in research and innovation is one of the European Commission's commitments, and it supports the explicit integration of a gender perspective in Horizon 2020 projects. However, this recommendation is often poorly understood and misapplied. Various documents are presented here with a view to contributing to a better understanding and application of the gender perspective in teaching and research.
