Admission to degree

Type of test: exam

Only those who are or have reached the age of 25 in the calendar year in which the test is held and do not hold any academic qualifications that give access to university by other routes may take part in this test.

The entrance examination for students over 25 years of age can be taken at any public university, regardless of the educational institution where the degree course is then taken.

The grades obtained can be used to apply for admission to any university and correspond preferably, for admission purposes, to the studies linked to the branch or branches of knowledge you are taking the exams in. However, applicants cannot take exams in the same year at more than one university.

In order to apply for a place and enrol, it is essential to do the pre-registration.

What does the test consist of?

The entrance exam has two phases: a general phase and a specific phase.

The registration system for undergraduate, double degree and new PARS students is the same. Admitted students will receive an appointment for self-enrolment in the degree, double degree or PARS where you have been admitted.

Dates: 16 and 17 July 2024.

Complete the enrolment process easily through the self-enrolment platform.

As we explained in section 4 “Make your pre-registration”, waiting lists are an option for people who did not manage to get into a study programme at first. If someone who was initially accepted decides not to register or cancels their registration, the places left vacant can be taken up by those on these waiting lists.

In addition, UPV places that have become available seats will be offered to people who are on the waiting lists and who have been activated.

On the other hand, if you enrol at the UPV, the places you have left vacant will be offered to people who are on the waiting lists and who have been activated.

On the other hand, if you enrol in one degree and you are subsequently admitted to another degree that is of greater interest to you, you can enrol in the latter and cancel the previous enrolment. This procedure is automatic if both degrees are from the UPV (the same automatic enrolment application, when you enrol in the second degree, asks you if you want to cancel your enrolment in the first one). But if the studies are from different universities, you should ask the centre where you have enrolled first how you should request the cancellation.

What to do if you are on the waiting list

If you have not been admitted to the desired degree, you will be on the waiting list for that degree, double degree or PARS by default. If you are interested, it is essential that you activate yourself on this list, but, above all, always remember to have enrolled in a degree.

It is important to note that this action must be done by yourself and that you have the possibility to register in as many lists as you wish. If you do not get on the waiting list for a grade within this period, you will not participate in the allocation of possible vacancies in the following phases.

How to activate on a waiting list?

You can activate your place on the waiting list directly on the page where you consult the pre-registration results.

All you need to do is log in with your ID number (not including the letter) and go to the section entitled “Waiting list information”. There, when you click on the button "Manage waiting list", you will see the degrees and double degrees for which you have not been initially admitted and which are pending. If you decide that you want to opt for one of them, simply click on the "+" button next to each course. If you wish to unsubscribe from a list, click the "-" button.

Degrees from another university

If you are interested in joining a waiting list for another degree at a different university, you should consult the deadlines and procedures on the website of that university.
