EBAU

University entrance examination (EBAU)

Students from foreign educational systems who apply to universities that require the EBAU exam must instead sit Specific Competency Tests (PCE) for the following subjects:

• Three common subjects:
• Spanish Language and Literature
• First foreign language to choose one of German, French, English, Italian or Portuguese
• Choose one from History of Spain or History of Philosophy
• One compulsory subject of modality according to the chosen modality.
• Optionally: a maximum of two specific subjects.

Grade calculation formula to be applied by the host university:

1º. The arithmetic mean of the 4 compulsory subjects (general core and compulsory subject of modality) is calculated. A minimum of 4 points must be obtained to apply the formula.

2º. The following formula is applied:

University entrance Mark (maximum 10 points) = (0.4 x average mark of the exams of the obligatory subjects) + (0.6 x average mark of the baccalaureate, calculated by the UNED).

A minimum of 5 points is needed to pass the EBAU.

3º. Finally, the university applies its weighting tables to calculate the admission mark for each degree, in this phase a maximum of 14 points can be obtained. The formula applied is the following:

Admission grade: 0.6 x NMB (Average High School Grade) + 0.4 x Compulsory Phase Grade + a x M1 + b x M2.

Where a and b are the weighting parameters (0.1 or 0.2) of the subjects and M1 and M2 the grades of a maximum of two subjects passed (minimum 5 points) that provide the best Admission Grade and that are established for that degree in the weighting tables published by the university.
