Students on the degree form part of one of two groups:
All applicants, regardless of the stream of the degree they wish to follow, must undertake one of the two types of admission test described below
Internal admission test for Medicine (EPAM) for applicants classed as home students
Applicants classed as home students (candidatos nacionales) are those who have undertaken their pre-university studies in Spain or who have undertaken such studies abroad following the Spanish education system. Home students sit the EPAM test, regardless of their nationality. The test will take place in an in-person format, on the date indicated below, on the University's Castellón Campus and Alfara del Patriarca Campus. All applicants classed as home students from the general admission system from any admission pathway sit this test.
In order to sit the EPAM test, applicants must do the following:
Applicants are strongly advised to pay close attention to the information on the website and other communication channels regarding the deadlines corresponding to the different stages of the process, the documentation that must be submitted, and the requirements of each admission pathway. Ensuring compliance with deadlines, the documentation needed, and admission requirements is entirely the applicant’s responsibility and a lack of awareness in one or other respect will not constitute grounds for special treatment under any circumstances.
Applicants must regularly check on the status of their application and undertake a variety of necessary administrative tasks before enrolment.
The EPAM test will take place on 31st January and 25th April 2026 in an in-person format on the Alfara del Patriarca (Valencia) and Castellón campuses simultaneously. If the student has applied for both streams of the Medicine degree, then the stream which the student as chosen as their preferred option will determine the location at which they will undertake the test: in Castellón for the Medicina (Spanish) stream, and in Alfara del Patriarca for the Medicina Bilingüe/Medicine (English-Spanish) stream. Candidates who apply for the first exam session and are not admitted in that initial phase may apply for the second exam session, paying the fees again. The university will evaluate their application in the second phase based on the highest score obtained by the candidate across both sessions.
Online internal admission test for Medicine (EPOAM) for applicants classed as international students
Applicants classed as international students (candidatos internacionales) are those who have undertaken their pre-university studies abroad, regardless of their nationality (except in the case of those who have undertaken their pre-university studies abroad but have followed the Spanish education system). These applicants sit the EPOAM test.
In order to sit the online EPOAM test (the online internal admission test for Medicine for applicants classed as international students), applicants must do the following:
Applicants are strongly advised to pay close attention to the information on the website and other communication channels regarding the deadlines corresponding to the different stages of the process, the documentation that must be submitted, and the requirements of each admission pathway. Ensuring compliance with deadlines, the documentation needed, and admission requirements is entirely the applicant’s responsibility and a lack of awareness in one or other respect will not constitute grounds for special treatment under any circumstances.
Applicants who are unable to obtain a place on the degree, after having taken the online EPOAM test for international students, cannot take the in-person EPAM test.
The EPOAM test will take place on 31st January and 25th April 2026 in an online format. Candidates who apply for the first exam session and are not admitted in that initial phase may apply for the second exam session, paying the fees again. The university will evaluate their application in the second phase based on the highest score obtained by the candidate across both sessions.
