Admission mark calculation
The entrance mark
(Information in Spanish)
for courses will be calculated in accordance with the following criteria:
(1)
For entry with high-school diploma or equivalent (PAU: university entrance exam)
, the entrance mark is calculated (out of 14 points) with the entrance mark and the
two best weighted marks from passed subjects, in
accordance with the weighting parameters.
(2)
For entry with a higher vocational qualification
, the entrance mark is calculated (out of 14 points) with the average from the training
course and the two best weighted marks from
subjects passed in the PAU entrance block, in accordance with the weighting parameters.
(3) For further information, please see the full details of the
weighting parameters for university admission

Accreditation of English Skills
In order to be awarded the degree, students must show that they have reached a level of English by the end of their course that equates to level B2 in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), in accordance with how this requirement is stipulated in the curriculum. The different ways to attain this are:
- passing the specific English language course on the curriculum.
- handing in a certificate or accreditation, recognised by the UIB, which shows the student has obtained a minimum level of English equivalent to B2 in the CEFR.
- passing a set number of subjects taught in English on the degree course.
- passing a set number of subjects taught in English on a mobility programme.
Academic Accreditation Committee
