Validated qualifications for university entrance for non-EU citizens
If you are not an EU citizen you must first validate qualifications that give access to university for a Spanish secondary school diploma. This must be done at the Ministry for Education.
Ministerio de Educación
(Subdirección General de Títulos, Convalidaciones y Homologaciones).
P. del Prado, 28. 28014 Madrid.
Tel. +34 91 506 56 00 – +34 902 21 85 00
Please bear in mind that once you have validated your qualifications and received the Spanish diploma, it will be the only diploma valid for your further studies in Spain. You will also need to pass the university entrance exams (Pruebas de Acceso a la Universidad – PAU) organised by the Spanish National University for Distance Education (Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia) which all students in Spain must pass to be admitted into university.
