Entry requirements for Irish students

• Blanquerna does not publish specific Leaving Certificate rules for this degree. It asks for a university entrance qualification, such as the Spanish PAU, a higher vocational qualification or the International Baccalaureate. Under Spanish law, Irish Leaving Cert students do not sit the PAU, but you must meet the rules for getting into university in Ireland. As a guide, UCD’s minimum is six subjects, with at least H5 in two and O6/H7 in the other four, including English and Irish. Many Spanish universities also ask for a UNEDasiss accreditation, which converts your Leaving Cert into a Spanish score out of 10. Confirm with Blanquerna admissions what they need from you.
• No specific maths level, portfolio or subject test is published for this degree. The university says it gives an admission decision about two working days after you apply.
• English: you need at least B2 level. Blanquerna accepts IELTS (6-7), TOEFL iBT (90-110), Cambridge or Official Language School certificates from the last two years. All students also take an English level test, which the university says will not be used to exclude anyone. It does not say whether Leaving Cert English or being a native speaker counts as proof of B2, so ask admissions.
