Grado en Relaciones Internacionales (English group)

About the course

Four-year, 240-ECTS international relations degree taught in English at URJC’s Madrid-Vicálvaro campus. The Spanish-taught groups run at Fuenlabrada and Aranjuez. There are English double degrees with Law (in person or blended) and with Protocol, Event Organisation and Corporate Communication. The single English degree is in URJC’s 2027-28 weighted-subjects table, so it 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. You can raise your grade with UNED PCE subject tests in subjects URJC gives weight to for this degree (see URJC’s 2027-28 table).
• English: URJC says students on the English degree must have a strong command of English, and it requires at least B2 for all English-taught degrees. You can prove it with an approved certificate (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 is enough.

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.
