UNIVERSITY PATHWAY PROGRAMS IN SPAIN
The preparation
you need to start
a degree in a
Spanish university.
Want to apply to a university in Spain?
If you are considering the possibility of pursuing your university studies in Spain, you should keep in mind that to access any undergraduate degree, you must first take an entrance exam.
This entrance exam is mainly known as EvAU, although its name may vary depending on the region of the country you are in (EBAU, PAU, Selectividad…).
If you have not studied secondary school in Spain but want to study for your degree in Spain, then you need to take a different version of the EvAU: the PCE.
The Specific Competency Test consists of a maximum of six tests, though you are advised to sit four exams minimum from a wide variety of subjects.
Two to three weeks later, the final grades are published and you can proceed with your university application.

Hassle-Free Paperwork
Paperwork is always the least enjoyable part of any process.
And it’s even less fun when you’re from abroad and unfamiliar with how to handle most of the administrative tasks.
To allow you to focus 100% on preparing for the PCE, we provide all the help and support you need to obtain your documentation with the least time and effort possible.
Paperwork
Pursuing a degree at a Spanish university doesn’t only depend on achieving a sufficient score on the PCE (EvAU, EBAU, PAU, or Selectividad for foreigners); you will also need to complete certain administrative procedures, which will be much easier with our support.
VISA/ID
Depending on your country of origin, we will need to check whether you need to apply for a student visa or any other type of permit, and we will also guide you through obtaining your identification number and legalizing your stay in the country.
academic credential recognition
In order to take the university entrance exam, you must first demonstrate that you have completed secondary education in your country and that you have the necessary qualifications to take this next step.
You will need to obtain academic documentation that certifies your studies so that it can be officially recognized in Spain, paving the way for your admission to a Spanish university.
University Degree Enrollment
Once you receive the PCE results, the only step left is to submit your application for the university degree program you’ve been preparing for over the past few months.
We will be by your side to guide you through these final steps, ensuring that your application is successful and that you can start the degree that will open the doors to your professional future.
