Previous studies:

• Students who have completed secondary studies (High School diploma) or higher level vocational training studies (Advanced Vocational Training diploma) from the European Union Member States or countries with a bilateral agreement on university access with Spain (Andorra, China, Colombia, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Switzerland and the United Kingdom), as long as they have fulfilled the university entrance requirements in their countries of origin.
• Students with European Baccalaureate or International Baccalaureate.

• UNEDasiss Key Dates 
  
• UCM pre-enrolment calendar  
  

• For the previous steps: see the UNEDasiss website
• Admission process
  

• Verification of university admission requirements
• Admission Grade (Group 1): the student's academic record is converted to the Spanish grading scale (0–10)

To obtain up to 4 additional points, students may use one or more of the following options: 

• Specific Competency Tests (PCE): students should choose the subjects with the highest weighting for the degree they wish to study. See UCM weighting for 2026/2027.

• Recognition of subjects taken or assessed in the student's education system (except for students from China, Colombia and the United Kingdom). Only subjects taken and/or assessed during the two years prior to the date of issue of the UNED accreditation may be recognised.

• PAU (Prueba de Acceso a la Universidad / University Entrance Examination) – Admission Phase, an optional phase to improve the admission grade, at a Spanish public university.

NOTE: Students may use the three options at the same time. The two subject grades that give the highest admission score for the degree programmes applied for will be taken into account.

B. Language accreditation: A B2 level of Spanish is required. 

Students with a non-Spanish speaking country nationality who, furthermore, come from the educational system of a country whose language is not Spanish, must certify a B2 level of Spanish, unless a different level has already been established in the corresponding degree program. This certification must be validated and accredited by UNEDassis.

This UNEDassis required certification will not be mandatory (although it is highly recommended) in the following situations:

1) Students with a non-Spanish-speaking country nationality who have obtained their equivalent degrees in foreign teaching centers established in Spain that provide education in accordance with RD 806/93 (arts. 10, 11 and 12),

2) Students who have studied in Spanish bilingual sections in countries with which the Ministry of Education has signed bilateral agreements (Bulgaria, Slovakia, Hungary, Poland, Czech Republic, Romania, Russia and China), who have passed the Bachillerato final exams, and who are entitled to be awarded the Título de Bachiller of the Spanish Educational System.

•  Students are strongly advised to apply during the ordinary admission period, as most degree programmes do not offer places during the extraordinary admission period.

• Students from the United Kingdom are included in this admission route under the bilateral educational agreement currently in force.
