Admission Process

Grado: Acceso con título universitario o traslado de expediente

Below, we will outline the main steps for you to take to become part of Universidad Europea’s student community.  For more detailed information on Universidad Europea’s admissions process, we recommend you consult our undergraduate admissions regulations.

See the admissions process details for the following degrees:

  • Bachelor's in Medicine - see the specific admissions process.
  • Bachelor's in Physical Activity and Sports Sciences - see the specific tests you will need to take, described below in the Admissions Applications section.
1. Start your admissions process

You are just a few steps away from becoming part of the more than 16,000 students that make up the University community of Universidad Europea. The first step is to complete your online application according to your desired University course. You can start your online application here.

Once you have completed your online application, you will receive an email with access to our pre-student portal.

Request a credit recognition plan*—it’s simple, free of charge and commitment-free.

Any questions regarding credit recognition should be sent to convalidaciones@universidadeuropea.es.

In order to request a credit recognition plan, you must provide the following documents:

  • Personal academic certificate from your previous institution.
  • Study plan stamped by the previous centre’s Registrar’s office.
  • Academic transcript of the subjects taken and/or enrolled in at the previous centre.
  • Official Degree for foreign students (translated).

If you are applying for credit recognition based on your previous work experience, you must provide a:

  • CV
  • Certificate of work history (vida laboral)

*Company certificate - only when it is necessary to demonstrate duties carried out at the company, or in the case of students with international work experience who cannot provide a certificate of work history (vida laboral). Once the application is completed, you will receive your credit recognition plan within a few days.

*The credit recognition plan is intended to be used as guidance. It will not be officially recognised until all of the information in the file is validated and approved by the Dean of the Faculty.

Once you have received your validations and are satisfied with them, you must make the online payment of the admissions tests fee (€150) through the pre-student portal (you will have previously received an email with your access link.) By paying this fee, you confirm that you are participating in the University’s admissions process. This fee will not be refunded under any circumstance.

Once this payment is received, an advisor will be assigned to you who will help you throughout the process. With their guidance, you can choose whether to take the tests online, without having to come to campus, or by appointment, in specifically designed facilities at our University headquarters.

Competencies and Skills Assessment 

This competencies and skills assessment measures intellectual work skills, attitudes towards work and attitudes towards cooperation and teamwork.  The approximate duration is 30 minutes and the test consists of 116 general competency questions and 23 study behaviour questions.

Language test:

English language test: This must be taken by all students who come from countries whose official language is not English, except for those who have opted to study degrees where the language of instruction is not Spanish or English. This is an English language assessment which tests reading and comprehension, knowledge of grammar and vocabulary, and listening skills.

Spanish language test: This test must be taken by:

  • Students who wish to study their degree in Spanish and whose mother tongue is not Spanish.
  • Students who wish to study their degree in a language other than Spanish but who need evidence of a certain level of Spanish in order to carry out their studies.
  • Students who wish to study a degree which requires a certain level of Spanish according to regulations.

This is a Spanish language assessment which tests reading and comprehension, knowledge of grammar and vocabulary, and listening skills.

Interview / Cover Letter

The candidate will answer a series of motivational questions, which will be assessed by a member of the corresponding faculty as part of the admissions process.

Once you have completed your admissions tests, after allowing a reasonable amount of time for them to be evaluated, you can check your admissions status via the pre-student portal. Once logged into the platform, you will need to click GO TO APPLICATION.  If the RESERVE step is highlighted blue, it means you have been accepted into the University. You can also check with your advisor.

Additional test for Faculty of Physical Activity and Sport Sciences Students

Students that are applying for the Bachelor's in Physical Activity and Sport Sciences or dual degrees at the Faculty must take their assessments in person and present their original and physical Medical Certificate on the day of the test.

See the physical aptitude assessments here

Given the current situation, these tests have been postponed.  

2. Reserving your place

If you are admitted, you can reserve your place. This means that you accept your place and would like to continue your registration at the University. During the next 7 days, this place will be reserved and awaiting your acceptance. After this period, you must check availability with your advisor.

Once you have registered, you can pay to reserve your place on the pre-student portal.  The payment methods are:

  • CREDIT OR DEBIT CARD, which registers you immediately.
  • ONLINE TRANSFER, which will register you approximately three to five days from the start of the transaction.

The fee to reserve a place depends on the degree chosen. You can find financial information in Student Fees. At all times, the student will be informed of the next steps to follow, either by their advisor or via the pre-student portal where they have previously registered their personal data.
