The Campus Arapiles is UNIE Universidad’s main urban campus located at Calle Arapiles 14 in the Chamberí district of Madrid, positioned between the vibrant cultural zone of Malasaña and the city’s financial district.

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.

Proof of degree equivalence or a pending application for recognition if applicable under Spanish law. If the master’s programme is taught in Spanish, you will likely need to demonstrate Spanish language proficiency (often at intermediate–advanced level). If a programme is offered in English, you may need to show English language proficiency through accepted tests (e.g., IELTS / TOEFL). Many postgraduate admissions also ask for: A Statement of Purpose / Motivation Letter explaining your reasons for applying. One or more Letters of Recommendation from academic or professional referees, especially for research-oriented or competitive master’s programmes. (Optional) A curriculum vitae (CV) or résumé outlining your academic and professional experience.

Students are encouraged to contact the student affairs office or campus administration if they experience or witness any safety concerns. UNIE provides channels for reporting academic or personal issues, including conflicts, harassment, or other problems that affect wellbeing.
