To be eligible for admission to an undergraduate degree, international applicants must hold a high school diploma or its equivalent that qualifies them for university entry in their home country. These qualifications must be recognised as equivalent to the Spanish Baccalaureate under Royal Decree 534/2024, which governs access to university studies in Spain. Students from non-Spanish education systems generally must have their pre-university qualifications validated or recognised for admission (this may involve submitting an application for homologation or the UNED credential through the UNEDasiss system). In many cases, applicants can be admitted conditionally while the recognition process is completed, but final enrolment typically requires official proof of equivalence. 

If the degree is taught in Spanish, international applicants from educational systems where Spanish is not the main language must demonstrate proficiency in Spanish, often at a B2 level (CEFR) or higher.

For degrees taught in English, relevant English language qualifications (e.g., IELTS, TOEFL) may also be needed if required by the programme (this depends on the language of instruction of the specific degree). 

International applicants generally have to:

Submit a copy of a valid passport.

Provide official transcripts of secondary education.

Include legalised and (if applicable) sworn translations of all academic documents.
