Undergraduate Admission Medicine

Welcome to the admission process for candidates to study Medicine
It is important to note that the admission pathway you choose must correspond to the highest level of studies you possess at the time of making the application. Thus, if an applicant’s highest level of study is that of pre-university studies (Bachillerato, etc.) then he or she must apply via the corresponding pathway, whereas applicants who have already begun a degree must take a different pathway, with different requirements. This is the case for each of the seven admission pathways.

If, at the time of enrolment, it is found that an applicant has followed an admission pathway which does not correspond to the level of studies they possess, then his or her application will be rejected at that time, as the original documents will not correspond with those which were uploaded to the intranet earlier in the process. Such applicants will thus lose any rights to admission that the CEU Cardenal Herrera had previously awarded to them.

All those applicants in this general admission group are competing with each other according to the same criteria, which can be seen in APPLICATION ASSESSMENT CRITERIA, Application assessment criteria. If it were found that a significant imbalance was occurring in the admission process, affecting admission to the different study years and teaching groups, then the Rector and the Dean may establish a committee to draw up lists for admission which will take into account the different applicant profiles. This may occur during the first or subsequent rounds of place allocation, depending on possible changes to the initial waiting list.

Those applicants who have already begun studies in medicine at another university (in Spain or abroad) must apply as part of the transfer group, which is subject to a different process, described in TRANSFER APPLICANTS..

IMPORTANT INFORMATION regarding the documentation to be submitted and the admission pathways

  • If, at any stage of the process, the University becomes aware that the applicant does not meet the admission requirements, then the application will be rejected, regardless of the stage at which this occurs and/or any communications the applicant may have received from the University, even if these suggest that a place at the University has been confirmed.
    This means that, even at the time of enrolment at the University, if it is discovered that the previously scanned and uploaded documentation does not correspond with the hard-copy originals later presented to the General Secretary’s Office, the applicant will lose all acquired rights to admission and no refunds will be provided for any fees paid up to that point. This is in accordance with the general regulations of the CEU Cardenal Herrera University.

  • If, at any stage of the process, the University becomes aware that an applicant does not meet the admission requirements corresponding to the admission pathway/system 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.
