The cut-off mark is obtained by the last student who entered last year. This mark depends on the number of places available and the demand for the degree and is not a mark imposed by the university. The cut-off marks of the previous year only serve as a reference, so you should prioritise your applications based on your preferences and not on the cut-off mark.

Not all degrees have the same number of places, and knowing how many sites are offered is interesting because it gives you an idea of the options you have to get in. The degree that offers 375 places differs from the one that offers 50. Here you have detailed information about the places offered by the UPV.

The newest thing we have to make your studies easier: you register once and forget about it! The Successive Academic Programmes (PARS) are different academic programmes that you choose during pre-registration, allowing you to do the bachelor’s and master’s degrees consecutively.

In addition, they allow you to start the master’s degree even if you have 30 credits left from your undergraduate degree.

What happens if you change your mind? Not much, the PARS pre-registration does not oblige you to do anything.

Important, if a degree is within the PARS, it is recommended that you pre-enrol in both options, as you will find it in the PARS version and in the version that does not belong to this academic programme. 

Qualifying degrees are access to regulated professions. These professions require a specific academic qualification, a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree. The UPV offers teaching qualifications for the regulated professions of engineering and architecture.

The UPV is a public university, its prices are subsidised by the administration and are defined by the Generalitat Valenciana, the autonomous government of the Valencian Community.

In the academic year 24/25 a levelling of fees for international students has been carried out, whereby the price per credit (ECTS) will be multiplied by 1.5. From year 25/26 onwards, it has to be multiplied by 2. This regularisation will affect non-resident students, excluding nationals of EU Member States and those who are under the EU regime. However, you can see that the UPV’s prices for international students are significantly lower than those of other universities in Madrid or Barcelona.

The Spanish system is governed by the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS), known as credits, and all degrees have their equivalence in credits. In general, the price per credit for a degree is €17.34 for the first enrolment, and an academic year consists of 60 credits, so the estimated cost per year would be €1,024. Secretarial and certification fees are less than €200.

For a Master’s degree, the average price per credit is €35.3. You can calculate the total cost of a Master’s course by multiplying it by the number of credits and adding €200-300 for other administrative fees. An academic year is 60 credits, so the total cost of a 90-credit master’s degree would be around €3,200.

These prices are public and change annually, so each year, they are published in a decree of the Generalitat Valenciana, which you can find on our website.

Most of the scholarships offered to study at the UPV at a national and regional level can be used by European students. However, many countries outside the European Union grant students to study at European universities.

The UPV manages grants for international students through different cooperation programmes. You can see them on the website of the Vice-rectorate for Internationalisation and Communication.

You can apply for national grants in your home country; for example, if you are a student in the Dominican Republic (MESCYT grants), Peru (PRONABEC grants), Mexico (CONACYT grants), Ecuador (SENESCYT grants) or Argentina (BecAr programme).

SEPIE, or the European Union, also facilitate access to education in Europe with specific programmes. In addition, some private entities (such as Fundación Carolina) also offer scholarships for international students.

Most bachelor’s degrees in the Spanish system last four years. At UPV, only the five-year Bachelor’s Degree in Fundamentals of Architecture. Academic years are measured in ECTS credits.

If you want to transfer your transcript to continue your studies at the UPV, you must have at least 30 credits recognised in the degree you are applying for admission to. You have two calls to start this procedure, at the end of February and the beginning of July.

Check all the information on this link of Admission to a degree.

Yes, you only must take into account two factors. You must have passed 30 credits of common courses and check that seats are available for continuing studies in the new Bachelor’s degree you are interested in. This system also works for transfers from international universities.

The “proximity” of the Bachelor’s degrees is essential. In other words, it will be easier for you to switch between Bachelor’s degrees in the same field of knowledge from the same school or faculty or the same university. For example, switching from Electrical Engineering to Aerospace Engineering will be easier as both belong to the same branch, Industrial and Aeronautical, and the same school, ETSID. Other aspects, such as the academic record, will be considered apart from the credits.

As for the number of seats available, bear in mind that not all Bachelor’s degrees offer this option, and the number is variable. Last year, the UPV offered 515 seats of this type.

The application period runs from the end of February to the beginning of March. If seats are still available, a second deadline opens in early July.

Here you can find all the information on file transfers.

When you study at UPV, it is as if you were studying at more than 1,000 universities in 92 countries. You can spend part of your studies at these universities through international exchange programmes such as Erasmus, Promoe, Sicue or ENHANCE. All these possibilities are available through the Office of International Exchange Programmes (OPII).

The language is chosen at the time of enrolment. Classes are taught in Spanish, most of them, Valencian and English.

Given that teaching is in Spanish, and in order to ensure that students are able to follow all training activities, students from non-Spanish-speaking countries will be required to have a level equivalent to B2 in Spanish.

The list of certificates accepted by the Universitat Politècnica de València for the accreditation of the requirement of knowledge of Spanish is the one that appears in the updated table of certificates recognised by ACLES (Association of Language Centres for Higher Education in Spain).

You can consult the list of degrees with this language requirement at the Generalitat Valenciana.

The governments of Colombia and Spain have agreed to facilitate access to Spanish universities for Colombian students. In a reciprocal sense, Spanish students can also study in Colombia.
As a result of this agreement, it will not be necessary to validate the high school diploma to study at a Spanish university; it will only be required to apostille the high school diploma and the Saber 11 certificate to the Colombian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and present these documents to the UNED, which is the Spanish body responsible for issuing the accreditation for access.
The digital accreditation issued by the UNED allows you to participate in the admission process to most universities in Spain. This accreditation converts the Saber 11 grade to its equivalent in the Spanish system. You must have got a minimum of 200 points in the Saber 11 test to gain access. The maximum grade obtained with the equivalence is 10 points in the EBAU.
The recognition of access requirements does not guarantee automatic admission to Spanish universities since, in some high-demand degrees, you may need a grade higher than 10 to gain access, up to a maximum grade of 14. In this case, it is advisable to improve your grades by taking the UNED PCE exams.
