About the course

Entry requirements for Irish students

• Ireland is an EU education system, so you do not need to sit the Spanish entrance exam (PAU). Universidad Europea asks students from Ireland and other EU systems to get a UNEDasiss accreditation of their school-leaving qualification, showing the final mark. It publishes no specific Leaving Cert grade requirement. As a guide, you should meet the minimum rules for getting into university in Ireland (for example, UCD asks for six subjects, with at least H5 in two and O6/H7 in the other four, including English and Irish).
• Admission is run by the university and includes a competencies and skills test, an English test, a personal interview and a review of your academic record. No specific maths requirement is published.
• English: because the degree is taught 100% in English, all applicants take the university’s English test. No minimum CEFR level is published. Ask admissions whether native speakers are exempt.

Costs

• Tuition fee not published: ask the Valencia admissions office for the 2027/28 price before you apply. This is a private university, so fees are set by the university and are much higher than at Spanish public universities. The university charges a non-refundable fee for its admission tests (listed as 150 euro on its international admissions page; confirm the current amount). Once admitted, you pay a reservation fee to hold your place; the amount depends on the degree, so ask how much it is and whether any of it is refundable. You also need a UNEDasiss accreditation, which has its own fee; check the current amount with UNED.
