Undergraduate Admission Medicine

Applicants who have begun a Bachelor's Degree in Medicine at another university (in Spain or abroad) must request a transfer (traslado de expediente). Those who apply via the transfer system are competing for the places available for such transfers, which are not the same as those available in the general admission system.

If, at any stage of the process, the University becomes aware that an applicant is using this admission system to apply but does not meet the admission requirements corresponding to it, 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 system to the transfer system, nor vice versa. Therefore, if a request for a change in admission system 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 system 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 original 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, choose the “transfer” (traslado de expediente) admission pathway, and upload the following documentation to the applicant intranet by 2nd July:

• A transcript from the university of origin, detailing the grades achieved.
• 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.
• If applying for the bilingual English-Spanish stream of the Bachelor's Degree in Medicine (Medicina Bilingüe/Medicine), a valid certificate recording their English language ability (minimum of a B1 level) except in the case of those whose native language is English. If applying for the Spanish-language stream of the Bachelor's Degree in Medicine (Medicina), a valid certificate recording their ability in Spanish (minimum of a B1 level), is required, except in the case of those whose native language is Spanish.

3. Decisions

Applicants will be notified of the decision by email, from 16th July onwards, indicating whether the application for admission has been successful or otherwise.

The admission decision by the Board of the Faculty of Health Sciences will be final.

If the application has been successful, the applicant will be given instructions regarding the submission of original copies of the supporting documents to the CEU Cardenal Herrera University's General Secretary's Office.

The University may draw up a waiting list for those whose application was not initially successful. In such a case, those concerned will be notified of this.
