Admission tests

For the purposes of pre-admission and admission, the evaluation of the candidate will be made from 0 to 10 points taking into account the following criteria and percentages:

• Academic record from the student's point of origin: 60%.
• Multiple-choice psychotechnical test: 10%
  This test consists of an assessment test of skills/abilities related to: skills in intellectual work, attitudes towards cooperation and teamwork, time management and resources. We will try to determine if the candidate has sufficient motivation, training and knowledge, skills, abilities, communication skills, extracurricular activities and future interests necessary to be admitted as a student of the Undergraduate degree in Computer Engineering at Antonio de Nebrija University.
• English level test: 10%
  One competence has been added to those established in the Undergraduate Degree in Computer Engineering, which is related to the adequate knowledge of the English language, both oral and in writing. To this end, the Vice rector’s Office for Academic Planning has established a series of strategies of a diverse nature to facilitate the acquisition of this competence by students, among which are the use of English materials and programming subjects in English.
  In order to know the student's English level, the Institute of Modern Languages will design a language level test. From this test's results, students will be simultaneously studying the chosen Undergraduate Degree and, depending on the student's level, the "Diploma in English Professional Skills."
  The English level tests consist of a written exam with multiple-choice questions on oral and written comprehension, and use of the language, with a duration of 60 minutes. They are taken in person or online and are held in computer rooms of each campus, with professors from the Institute of Modern Languages. Depending on the results of this test, the student will be positioned at the corresponding level. The minimum level one can access at the start is B1.
  It will not be necessary for the candidate to take the language placement test if he/she submits a document proving his/her English level. Level accreditation will be validated through the official degrees admitted by the table of certificates approved by ACLES, and will also be reviewed by the Institute of Modern Languages.
• Specific test on knowledge about the Undergraduate Degree in Computer Engineering.
  It is a multiple-choice test and consists mainly of specific contents of some of the main areas of general knowledge that are to be studied in the degree chosen by the candidate, as well as other elements common to all the degrees. This test will be 20% of the total weighting.
• Personal interview:
  A strategy to know the characteristics of the candidates, a personality test will be applied to all candidates by the department of psychopedagogical guidance, as a diagnostic that explores the emotional, intellectual, social and norms and values of each candidate student of the Undergraduate Degree in Computer Engineering of the Antonio de Nebrija University.
