CSV: 717133446825883906663707 - Verifiable at https://sede.educacion.gob.es/cid and Citizen Folder https://sede.administracion.gob.es

Identifier: 2504150 Date: 23/02/2024 8 / 99

Students enrolling for the first time at UEV follow the procedure established by the university described below:

Once the admission application with the required documentation for each case has been submitted and verified by the admissions service, the student is called to take the entrance exam. They must attend with their ID or passport to verify their identity.

The European University of Valencia has established a test of competencies and skills and a personal interview as an entrance examination, and if applicable, evaluation of academic records, which serve to assess elements related to the academic and professional success of each student and to detect their specific training needs.

The language test consists of several parts:

  1. Reading comprehension.
  2. Written comprehension.

The tests will be conducted by the Admissions Department of the European University of Valencia, and the approval of the faculty head, who will review the tests and conduct a personal interview with each candidate to verify their interest and suitability for the degree they are applying for, will be a requirement for confirming admission.

The results of the entrance examination will be used to prepare a Personalized Learning Plan. This plan includes a series of basic recommendations to maximize the capacities of each student or to promote the acquisition of others that will contribute to academic success and, subsequently, professional success.

In the case of the degree in question, students studying the title in English must demonstrate a C1 level of English according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages of the European Higher Education Area by taking a test designed by the university itself. In addition, they will have continuous support from the Language Center, the university's language lab, described in section 7.1 of the report.

The established procedure for access to the Degree at the University will be as follows:

  1. The student requests access to the degree from the Admissions Department, accompanying the application with a portfolio.
  2. The application is sent to the degree coordinator who, verifying that the evidence presented in the portfolio aligns with the requested degree, will conduct an interview with the student to evaluate competencies that require direct observation and are related to academic success in the requested degree, as well as to detect specific training needs.
  3. The university may establish a specific test to ensure that the student meets the minimum competencies to pursue the degree.
  4. The university has a specific admission process for international students.
  5. All students admitted after the selection process receive a letter from the university, indicating their admission to the undergraduate program for which they have taken and passed the entrance tests.

The following are the evaluation criteria and weighting of the interview:

Personal Interview

The personal interview aims to assess the suitability of the student's profile to successfully undertake the proposed degree and inform them about the exit profile of the graduate.

Thus, aspects such as the student's motivation, expectations, necessary knowledge, or their commitment regarding the achievement of professional objectives are explored through open-ended questions. During the interview, the information provided in the documentation is also contrasted with their own discourse.

The weighting of the different elements of the interview is as follows:

  • Student motivation (10%)
  • Knowledge (25%)
  • Student expectations (20%)
  • Commitment to achieving their professional objectives (25%)
  • Competency assessment test (20%)

A student arriving at UEV seeking information about a degree is received by an admissions advisor, who will vary depending on the program for which the prospective candidate inquires. These individuals explain the admission process and the necessary documentation to begin studies at our university.

If the candidate wishes, they can request an appointment to take the aforementioned entrance tests, and they will later be received by a faculty member (usually the Director of the Degree) who will conduct the detailed personal interview mentioned earlier.

Subsequently, there is a team of individuals dedicated to administrative tasks such as:

  • Collection of entrance test fees and reservation of places
  • Receipt of admission applications
  • Opening
