At Antonio de Nebrija University, admission procedures are carried out in accordance with university legislation, with particular reference to the guiding principles governing access to Spanish universities: equality, merit, ability, universal accessibility, and alignment with the criteria of the European Higher Education Area.

The admission process consists of several phases, as outlined below:

1.- Submission of Documentation

All applicants wishing to apply for admission must submit the following documentation:

• 1. Completed and signed admission application form.
• 2. Proof of payment of registration fees.
• 3. Photocopy of the National Identity Document (both sides) or passport.
• 4. Two passport-size photographs.
• 5. Although not mandatory, a letter of recommendation from a teacher or tutor at the applicant’s previous institution is recommended. This letter should accompany the academic documentation submitted with the application.

In addition, depending on the applicant’s route of access to the Bachelor’s degree, the following documentation may be required:

• 6. High school academic transcript or certificate.
• 7. University Entrance Examination administered by Nebrija University.
• 8. Credential granting access to Spanish universities issued by the UNED (National University of Distance Education), for students from the International Baccalaureate or holding a Baccalaureate qualification from the European Union.
• 9. Specific University Entrance Examination (PAU) for international students.
• 10. For candidates holding a university degree or an Advanced Vocational Training qualification, the academic transcript of the completed qualification.
• 11. For students transferring from another institution, an academic transcript of completed courses and the official course syllabi for each subject passed.

Only applications from students who have submitted the required documentation within the deadlines established by the Admissions Department will be processed. In addition, applicants may be asked to provide any further information deemed necessary to assess their suitability for admission to the Bachelor’s degree program.

For pre-admission and admission purposes, the candidate’s evaluation will be carried out on a scale from 0 to 10 points, taking into account the following criteria and percentages:

• 1. Academic transcript or certificate from the student’s previous educational pathway: 60%
• 2. Multiple-choice psychometric test: 10%

This test consists of an assessment of competencies and skills related to intellectual work, attitudes towards cooperation and teamwork, and time and resource management. The aim is to determine whether the candidate possesses sufficient motivation, education and knowledge, skills, aptitudes, communication abilities, extracurricular involvement, and future interests to be admitted as a student of the Bachelor’s Degree in Economics and International Business at Antonio de Nebrija University.

• 3.- English language proficiency test: 10%

In order to determine students’ actual level of English proficiency, the Department of Modern Languages will administer a placement test at the beginning of the program.

The English placement test consists of a 60-minute written examination with multiple-choice questions, assessing listening comprehension, reading comprehension, and language use. The test is administered either in person or online in computer labs at each campus, by instructors from the Institute of Modern Languages. Based on the results, students will be placed at the appropriate level. The minimum level at which students may begin their studies is B1.

Students who choose to take courses taught in English must achieve a B2 level in the placement test in order for English to serve as the language of instruction for their academic program and to ensure they can acquire the competencies associated with each course. Students who do not meet this requirement will be required to take courses taught in Spanish.

Candidates who submit documentation certifying their English proficiency level will not be required to take the placement test. Accreditation of the level will be validated through official qualifications included in the ACLES table of accepted certificates (http://www.acles.es) and will also be reviewed by the Institute of Modern Languages.

• 4.- Specific knowledge test for the Bachelor’s Degree in Economics and International Business: 20%. This multiple-choice test focuses primarily on specific content from some of the main areas of general knowledge covered in the degree program chosen by the candidate, as well as on elements common to all degree programs.
• 5.- Personal interview: As a strategy to understand applicants’ characteristics, the Psychopedagogical Guidance Department will administer a personality test to all candidates as a diagnostic tool. This test explores the emotional, intellectual, social, and values-based dimensions of each applicant to the Bachelor’s Degree in Economics and International Business at Antonio de Nebrija University.

Where an applicant presents clinical indicators, an in-depth interview will be conducted with psychologists from the Psychopedagogical Guidance Department. Where appropriate, the applicant may be referred for clinical assessment by faculty specialists in Psychiatry and or Clinical Psychology.

All tests and student academic records will be evaluated and assessed by the Undergraduate Admissions Committee, taking into account the criteria set out in the document “PGA_11 Procedure for the Operation of the Undergraduate Admissions Committee”, which forms part of the Internal Regulations governing access to the University.
