The application process for a place in the 2026-2027 academic year is now open and consists of three phases:

1. Application for admission
2. Admission
3. Enrollment

IMPORTANT - BACHELOR'S DEGREE IN PSYCHOLOGY AND BACHELOR'S DEGREE IN NURSING: Students from High School (Batxillerat):

If, at the time of submitting the application for a place in the degrees in Psychology or Nursing, as well as for simultaneous studies in either of these two degrees (e. g., Psychology and Speech and Language Therapy, or Nursing and Nutrition), the final High School and PAU (University Entrance Exams) grades are already available and are equal to or higher than 7, the applicant will be called to enroll once admitted.

If the final entrance grades for High School and PAU (University Entrance Exams) are not available, an official certificate from the educational center must be attached, containing the average grade for the first year or the final High School grade. Once this certificate is submitted, there are two options:

Option 1. If the grade is equal to or higher than 7, the student will be called to make a conditional enrollment and may choose a shift while places are available.

Option 2. If the grade is lower than 7, the student may participate in the June place allocation, which will be based on the submitted grade as the first criterion and the date of payment of the place application as the second criterion. From the date on which the final grade of the university entrance exams becomes available, if there are still places available, only students who have submitted the certificate with their final admission grade will take part in the allocation process.

Note: In the case of students from international high schools, an official document from the school of origin must be submitted with the final average grade for the course and its equivalence to the Spanish system.

IMPORTANT - BACHELOR'S DEGREE IN PSYCHOLOGY AND BACHELOR'S DEGREE IN NURSING: Students from Higher-Level Vocational Training (CFGS):

If, at the time of submitting the application for a place in the degrees in Psychology or Nursing, as well as for simultaneous studies in either of these two degrees (e. g., Psychology and Speech and Language Therapy, or Nursing and Nutrition), the final CFGS grade is already available and is equal to or higher than 8, the applicant will be called to enroll once admitted.

If the entrance grade (neither provisional nor final) for CFGS is not available, applications for a place in the aforementioned studies can be formalized, and the student will participate in the June place allocation, which will be based on the final grade submitted via an official certificate from the educational center containing the final average grade of the qualification. The grade mentioned will be considered as the first criterion, and the date of payment of the place application as the second criterion. For the Bachelor's Degree in Psychology, 10% of places will be reserved for students from this pathway. For the Bachelor's Degree in Nursing, 30% of places will be reserved for students from this pathway.

IMPORTANT – DEGREE IN PSYCHOLOGY AND DEGREE IN NURSING: Students coming from previously started university studies:

If, at the time of applying for a place in the Psychology or Nursing degree programs, 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.

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
