Entry requirements
Undergraduate (Bachelors) degrees
If you have completed (or will complete) the Titulo de Bachiller you will typically require a pass with grade 7.8 overall - and grades 9, 8, 8 in three subjects - to begin from the first year of a Bachelors degree (depending on the subject you wish to study).
If you are studying A-levels or the International Baccalaureate (IB) then you can begin from the first year of a Bachelors degree. Please see individual course pages for entry requirements.
If you have completed the European Baccalaureate then you can begin from the first year of a Bachelors degree. 85% would be the equivalent to a grade A in a British A-level; 77% would be equivalent to a grade B.
For more information about available degrees please see individual course pages.
Postgraduate (Masters) degrees
If you have a good Bachelors degree from a recognised university, you will be be considered for entry to a Masters degree.
If you have a Spanish Licenciado, Licenciatura or Titulo with a minimum grade of 7.0/10 or 2/4 or higher or better you will be considered for entry to a Masters degree.
For more information about available degrees please see individual course pages.
PhDs and other research degrees
To apply for a PhD (or other postgraduate research qualification) you must have a good Bachelors degree from a recognised university, usually in a related subject area, or a Spanish Licenciado, Licenciatura or Titulo with a minimum grade of 7.0/10 or 2/4 or higher (depending on the subject you wish to study).
You must also be able to demonstrate practical knowledge of appropriate research methodologies. Research degrees are demanding and intensive: to succeed at this level you must be highly motivated, be able to work independently, and have an appropriate familiarity with the discipline and its associated research techniques/methodologies.
