UNDERGRADUATE DEGREES. Entrance exams and criteria
We’re looking for bright students from every corner of the globe who are driven by curiosity and have an interdisciplinary mindset and a desire to improve society. People whose talents and experiences will push our university forward.
How do we measure academic performance?
These are the results we look at:
-
High school junior year transcripts.
-
Grade on the entrance examination for the specific School.
-
A weighted average is calculated in which high-school grade accounts for 60% of the result and the entrance examinantion accounts for 40%.
For the Schools of Medicine and Nursing, the high- school grade accounts for 30% and the entrance examination accounts 70%.
How do we measure academic performance?
What are the entrance exams like? (language requirements are also included if necessary)
1. English: For bilingual degree programs, the University requests proof of English level. The required level is defined in the description of the entrance examinations for each School.
2. Spanish: For admission to any of the University's official degree programs, knowledge of Spanish is necessary. For this reason, applicants must provide proof of their level of Spanish if they:
-
do not speak Spanish as their native language.
-
completed high school or equivalent studies in a language other than Spanish.
These students may certify their level of Spanish by completing any of the following exams:
-
ILCE level B2 tests.
-
DELE B2 (Instituto Cervantes).
If they wish, appllicants who do not have the minimum established level may sign up for ILCE summer school courses. This should enable them to reach the language skill level required ant the beginning of the academic year.
