Requirements used in Spain
Institutions assess the prior qualification, transcript and teaching-language evidence. Bachelor's applicants with a foreign secondary qualification may need UNEDasiss accreditation or recognition of their studies depending on the education system, and official master's degrees require a degree that grants access to postgraduate study. Spanish-taught programmes commonly ask for Spanish evidence such as DELE, while English-taught programmes set their own accepted tests.
Language evidence
English-taught and local-language programmes may set different language requirements. Use the individual programme record and confirm accepted tests with the institution.
Recognition and certification
Document recognition, translation and legalisation depend on where the qualification was issued. Follow the institution's checklist and the competent authority named by Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities.
