Grado en Economía (English group)

About the course

Four-year, 240-ECTS economics degree taught in English at URJC’s Madrid-Quintana site. It has run since 2016-17. URJC lists it among its English-taught degrees, and the Spanish-taught groups run at Vicálvaro, Fuenlabrada and Móstoles. URJC’s list of weighted subjects for 2027-28 includes ‘Economía (Inglés) (Madrid)’, so the degree is planned for 2027 entry.

Entry requirements for Irish students

• Irish Leaving Cert students apply in URJC’s quota for students from EU school systems. You need UNEDasiss accreditation, which converts your results into a Spanish admission grade. Spanish law also requires you to meet the rules for getting into university in Ireland (as a guide, UCD asks for six subjects with at least H5 in two and O6/H7 in the other four, including English and Irish). URJC publishes nothing specific on the Leaving Cert, so confirm with admissions.
• Places are ranked by admission grade. URJC says you can raise your grade with UNED PCE subject tests (taken through UNEDasiss), with recognition of subjects from your own school system, or with the admission phase of the Spanish entrance exam (PAU). URJC’s 2027-28 table lists the subjects it gives weight to for this degree.
• English: URJC requires at least B2 English for all its English-taught degrees. You can prove it with a certificate from URJC’s approved list (Annex 1), by passing URJC’s online English test (€87.48, pass/fail) or by adding a language accreditation to your UNEDasiss credential. URJC does not say that Leaving Cert English or being a native speaker is enough, so plan to show one of these.

Costs

• Public university: EU students pay the same as Spanish students. URJC’s 2026/27 price table charges €16.92 per credit for a first enrolment in Economía, which is in the Community of Madrid’s lowest price band (level 3). That comes to about €1,015 for a 60-credit year. New students also pay small admin charges, such as €27.54 to open a student file, €6.11 in secretariat fees and €1.12 for school insurance. If you have no English certificate, URJC’s English test costs €87.48. The 2027/28 prices are not yet published. UNEDasiss charges its own accreditation fee.
