• Successfully completed High School Diploma and University Entrance Exams. Students can access all the bachelor's degrees at the School from any of the High School Diploma options.
• Higher education courses.Be in possession of a vocational training advanced technician diploma for access to university studies. Students who have completed an advanced training course in an area of knowledge related to the bachelor's degree can apply for credits: Recognition of credits for bachelor degrees in Nursing, Physiotherapy, and Human Nutrition and Dietetics, for students from higher education training courses.
• Mature student access for over 25s. All persons who are 25 years of age or older before October 1st of the calendar year in which the admission test is held may apply of the Inter-university Council of the Government of Catalonia..
• Mature student access for over 45s. Persons over 45 years of age who do not hold an academic qualification that allows them to apply to the university through other pathways can access bachelor's degree studies through this pathway of the Inter-university Council of the Government of Catalonia..
• University degree (studies started or completed). If you are already a graduate or degree or diploma holder; or if you have passed a minimum of 30 ECTS credits, you can apply for admission to the bachelor's degree underway. To prepare the admissions list, the available places, a minimum credit recognition, and a personal interview are taken into account. If a minimum of 30 ECTS credits is not recognized or the student is not admitted via credits, they will be able to access the admission test with the admission conditions of the first academic year. In the case of foreign students who have not convalidated their qualification in Spain, the Rector of the university will determine whether their qualification is accepted, provided that the requirements set out in the previous section are met.
• Foreign baccalaureate degree or high school diploma with the UNED credential. Students from education systems within the European Higher Education Area (EHEA), or countries with whom the Spanish State has an agreement, and international baccalaureate degree holders, 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. They do not have to sit the University Entrance Exams (PAU); however, without the credential they will not be able to enroll in our bachelor's 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.
• Convalidation of foreign Baccalaureate. Students from education systems in countries outside the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) that do not have an agreement with the Spanish State will be able to access our bachelor's degrees by presenting the convalidation of their Baccalaureate degree by the Ministry of Education of the Spanish State or the duly authorized Autonomous Communities, as is the case of 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. Candidates who are nationals of a European Union country, or resident in Spain, and who come from non-European education systems that have not signed a reciprocity agreement with Spain, should contact the department the academic secretary: [email protected]

The test consists of two instruments that aim to establish a numerical order of students according to an admission process aimed at their future studies, and can never be understood as a test that measures the intellectual capacity of prospective students. It is a question of having an individual profile of some cognitive functions, professional interests and preferences, personal characteristics and aptitudes to carry out the task corresponding to the chosen degree, and of the motivations of the candidate to pursue our studies.

Test 1: Questionnaire on personal values, goals and objectives, order and method, practicality, and decision-making.
Test 2: Expression and creation. Test 2 aims to assess the student's written communication skills (ability to analyze, synthesize, essay write...), and so they are given a number of topics to develop.

The prospective student must log in to take the online admission test on the date and time assigned at the time of pre-enrollment, and must show their ID card as identification. The approximate duration of the tests is 1 - 1.30 hrs. In the event that special educational adaptations are required (dyslexia, ADHD...), this must be stated at pre-enrollment, on the statistical data screen, and supporting documentation must be provided.

Between the end of May and the end of June, the allocation of places will begin based on the weighting obtained from the Baccalaureate or CFGS grades, and the admission test.

Admitted students will receive an email to enroll with instructions on when and how to do so.

The criterion used to call admitted students for enrollment in the two enrollment periods (conditional and final) is by order of pre-enrollment payment.

The place will be confirmed when the student submits the documentation with the university access pathway: the university entrance exam certificate or the certificate of higher technical studies for access to university studies; and completes the final enrollment.

Persons admitted for enrollment can choose between two options, depending on whether or not they already have a university admission pathway:

1. Conditional enrollment
   Possibility to enroll in the degree, before having passed the PAU or the CFGS.
   Enrollment will be conditional on the presentation of the corresponding admission pathway.
   This option secures the place and allows the student to choose their timetable, in the case of courses with morning and afternoon options, while places are available.
   In the event that the student does not secure the admission pathway, the enrollment fee is refunded, and they lose their place and timetable selection. If places remain available, applicants can stay on the waiting list until September and their enrollment fee will be held, but they will no longer have a preferential timetable choice.
   If a student does not obtain the admission pathway, the fee paid will be refunded.
2. Definitive enrollment
   Enrollment is definitive if the student already meets the requirements for admission.
   Upon enrollment, students may secure the places and timetable options available.

Notes:

1. The criterion used to call admitted students for enrollment in the two enrollment periods (conditional and final) is by order of pre-enrollment payment.

2. Before enrolling, it is very important that you watch the video with the instructions and have the documentation that you will be asked for ready to submit, since once the process has started, the timetable option is consolidated at the moment you complete the enrollment process.

3. Admission will be confirmed as final once the student submits the necessary documentation with their university admission test, entrance exam or CFGS, and completes final enrollment.

4. The required documentation must be uploaded through the document repository if you have a verification code. If you do not have a verification code, the original must be submitted to the Academic Secretary.

The remaining 50% is split into nine monthly installments, from October to June, payable by direct debit using the bank account number provided upon enrollment.
