Bachelor's degrees in business in Europe

EU students

If you want to apply for a Bachelor's degree at UCAM and you are a European Union citizen, you must follow these 3 steps 100% online. Any time during this process you can ask for help or clarify any doubt through phone or e-mail (+34 968 278 786 or This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.)

Citizens from Switzerland, Iceland, Norway, Liechtenstein or China should also follow this procedure due to the international educational agreements between these countries and the European Union.

Also please note that holders of International Baccalaureates (IB) and International GCSCs/A Levels also follow this procedure.

Step 1. Obtain the Credentials

Those applicants coming from education systems that are under the Article 38.5 of Education Organic Law 2/2006, 3rd May (Artículo 38.5 de la Ley Orgánica 2/2006, de 3 de mayo, de Educación), (European Union or other countries with which international agreements have been signed), will be able to enroll at UCAM directly without the Spanish entrance exam. These applicants must validate their High School Diploma through UNED, according to Resolution of 30 March 2009, Secretary of State for Universities (BOE Nº. 98, dated 22nd April 2009). It may seem complicated, but it’s nothing to worry about. For some countries, there may be additional requirements for obtaining your credentials.
The order of admission of the students is by grades, and if you want to do the degree in some program with a high demand, like Medicine or Nursing, you may want to improve your grades by taking the “Specific Phase” of the Spanish University Entry Examination, called “Selectividad”. You can find more information on the “Non-EU Admission Process”.
If you have entered or finished a Higher Education Degree in a country other than Spain and you want to transfer and validate some credits or subjects or homologate your degree, you can do it through the UCAM directly or through the Minitry of Education, respectively.

Step 2. Application Form and Interview

The International Student Fellowship at UCAM includes citizens from all over the world, and for this reason we try to encourage those excellent students, motivated to develop their personal and academic careers by offering them the best and fair recruitment procedure. In this sense, the student’s selection procedure and criteria focus the interview on the academic profile together with the student’s abilities.

Step 3. Enrollment at UCAM

Non-EU students

For students who have completed secondary education in a country outside the European Union (UE), Switzerland, Iceland, Norway or Liechtenstein or China the application procedure is as the following steps suggests. Any time during this process you can ask for help or clarify any doubt by phone or e-mail (+34 968 278 786 or This email address is being protected from spambots.

Step 1. University Admission – Validation of studies
Applicants must have their high school studies or its equivalent officially accredited or validated according to the following cases:

• • Students with high school diplomas from countries outside the European Union (and from outside those with EU bilateral agreements) must have this Diploma validated by the Ministry of Education of Spain. To carry out this process, candidates should apply to the Ministry of Education and follow the indicated procedure to accredit their pre-university studies. Please note that this process is done outside UCAM and through governmental institutions, so it would be a good idea to start it a couple of months before the admission request. Students can continue the admission process to the University at the same time as their studies are being evaluated for official accreditation.
• • Students with previous University studies can transfer university credits for admission to UCAM, with a minimum of 30 ECTS.
• • Students with high level of vocational training (Formación Profesional). Students must have this Diploma validated by the Ministry of Education of Spain.

Step 2. Application Form
