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:
1. High school junior year transcripts.
2. Grade on the entrance examination for the specific School.
3. A weightedaverage is carried out* where the grade average of 1st of high school diploma has a weight in the result of 60%, and the test of Admissions Office has a weight of 40%.
*In the case of the Schools of Medicine and Nursing, the grade average of 1st of high school diploma counts for 30% and the admission test for 70%, and in the Degree at design the grade average of 1st of high school diploma account 40% and the admission test 60%.
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 official Degrees of the University, knowledge of Spanish language is required. For that reason, students must accredit their level of Spanish before April 4, 2025 in case of:
-
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 the future student obtains the required level of Spanish when doing the test of Admissions Office it will not be necessary to present the additional official degree scroll , therefore, it will not be required from the portal miUNAV.
-
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.
