Undergraduate Admission Medicine

Applicants who have already begun studies in Medicine at another university (whether in Spain or abroad) must apply for a transfer. As part of a specific group for admissions, such persons must apply for the places available for such transfers, which are treated separately from those available to the general admission group.

If, at any stage of the process, the University becomes aware that an applicant does not meet the admission requirements corresponding to the admission group they are applying for, then this application will be rejected, regardless of the stage of the process at which this occurs and/or any communications the applicant may have received, even if these suggest that a place at the University has been confirmed. No applicant will be allowed, once the admission process has begun, to change from the general admission group to the transfer group, nor vice versa. Therefore, if a request for a change in admission group is received, whether or not the applicant claims an inadvertent error or some other circumstance has occurred, then the applicant will automatically be removed from the admissions process, regardless of the stage concerned. If such a request for change in admission group occurs after the applicant is enrolled, and therefore the corresponding documentation is submitted after the act of enrolment, then this student will be expelled from the degree, on the grounds of having submitted misleading information regarding his or her academic situation and of having acted in bad faith with regard to the documentation supplied to support his or her application. He or she will consequently lose any right acquired during the admission process or after enrolment.

1. For transfers to the either programme of the Bachelor’s Degree in Medicine (Grado en Medicina / Medicine) from another Spanish university

Applicants must, at the time of application, have already been awarded a minimum of 30 ECTS credits in order to be able to request a transfer to CEU UCH.

To apply for a transfer, applicants must fill in the admission application form, choosing the admission pathway of “transfer” (traslado de expediente), and upload the following documentation to the applicant intranet, until 29th June:

• An academic transcript detailing their grades from their current university.
• Programmes or guides (guías docentes) of the courses/modules passed, so that these can be studied for possible validation for credits. At this stage, it is sufficient to provide scanned versions of these documents, but if the applicant is offered a place, then hard copies stamped by the university/faculty of origin will have to be provided in order for the applicant to enrol.
• In the case of those applying for Medicina Bilingüe/Medicine: a valid certificate recording their ability in English (minimum of a B1 level), except in the case of those for whom English is their native language. In the case of those applying for the Medicina programme taught completely in Spanish: a valid certificate recording their ability in Spanish (minimum of a B1 level), except in the case of those for whom Spanish is their native language.

3. Admission decisions for transfers

Applicants will be notified of the admission decision from 13th July onwards. The admission decision by the Board of the Faculty of Health Sciences will be final. If you are offered a place, then you will receive instructions regarding the submission to the General Secretary’s Office of the original copies of the documents uploaded. Please consult about the documents required for your enrolment.

The University may draw up a waiting list for those who are not initially admitted as part of the Transfer Group. If this occurs, those on this waiting list will be duly notified.
