Please take notice of the following:

Regarding foreign degrees in the Medical Area, it is also noted that the University does not have, in the years following the first, reserved places aimed at allowing the possible integration and completion of the educational pathway. Therefore, requests for Equivalence are not accepted.

Likewise, for the single-cycle master’s degree course in Primary teacher education, which qualifies for teaching, the University does not accept applications for recognition of qualifications obtained abroad.
