Useful information

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.

Where a Masters degree is required, this is indicated in the relevant description on our Postgraduate Research webpages, together with further information about requirement.

Scholarships and funding opportunities

Because Spain is part of the European Union, for funding purposes you will be a 'UK/EU student' rather than an 'international student'.
