International students may study here as an exchange student, but without receiving any academic degree from the UPCT, in either of the following two ways:

1. An international programme for a fixed period and only for part of your course of study (Erasmus, etc.) or

2. A specific agreement between your educational institution and our University.

It also is possible to matriculate in our University as an independent student if you meet one of the following requirements:

a) You have completed secondary school level studies in a foreign.

It is then necessary to do two things:

1 - Have your academic qualifications officially validated by the Spanish Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport. For further information: http://wwwn.mec.es/mecd/titulos/

2 - Pass the University entrance exam (PAU)

This exam is called the "Selectividad", and is given under the auspices of the National Distance Learning University (UNED)

There are pre-established registration periods based on the country from which you are coming and in which the exam is to be taken.
