Practical information

Admission of international students (Latin America)

If you come from a country outside Europe, you can access our programs by officially recognizing (homologating) your high school diploma in Spain.

You can start your studies while this process is underway, although you will need to submit the final resolution later.

Important: this process can take several months, so we recommend that you start it as soon as possible.

Student visa

Once you are admitted, you must apply for your student visa at the Spanish consulate in your country.

If your stay is longer than 6 months, you must apply for your Foreigner Identity Card (TIE) upon arriving in Spain.

Language requirements

For programs in English, you will need a minimum B2 level, which you can prove with certifications such as IELTS, TOEFL, or Cambridge.

Minimum requirements to enroll in our schools:

Students from the European Higher Education Area (EHEA), International Baccalaureate, or those with which the Spanish State has an agreement:

Students must apply to the National University of Distance Education (UNED) for the credential proving that they meet the requirements to access university studies in their educational system (UNED Credential). Therefore, they do not need to take the PAU (University Access Exam), but without the aforementioned credential they cannot enroll in our bachelor's degrees.

The educational systems that can access our programs via this route 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, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, United Kingdom, Czech Republic, Romania, Sweden, Switzerland, China, and Cyprus.

Students from outside the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) who DO NOT have an agreement with the Spanish State

These students can access our bachelor's degrees by presenting the official recognition (homologación) of their high school diploma from the Spanish Ministry of Education or from the autonomous communities that have been granted this competence, such as the Generalitat of Catalonia. It is possible to enroll and pursue the degree with just the application for official recognition, but enrollment will be conditional on the delivery of the final official recognition. Note that the official recognition of studies can take more than three months to become effective, so this procedure must be carried out simultaneously with the admission process to our bachelor's degrees. If the resolution of the official recognition is not issued under the terms requested by the applicant, the results of any exams taken or previous enrollments will become void.

Once you have received your acceptance letter, you must apply for a Study Visa at the Spanish embassies or consulates in your country. You can locate your consulate or embassy on the website of the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation.

If your authorized stay is longer than six months, you must apply for the Foreigner Identity Card (TIE) within one month of entering Spain, along with a registration certificate. These documents are issued by the National Police station in your place of residence.

For bachelor's degrees taught in English, students must demonstrate a minimum B2 level in English to be admitted. The level can be proven through the placement test that all degree students must take before starting their program. To prove the minimum level, students may also present an official language certificate of level B2 or higher, such as IELTS (6-7), TOEFL (IBT 90-110), Cambridge, or Official Language Schools, obtained within the last two years. The certificate does not exempt students from taking the test that determines which level of English they will take in the first year.
