Requirements for Academic Transfers To spanish Universities
Partial Validation of Studies
(Convalidación Parcial de Estudios Extranjeros)
Steps to validate your foreign university studies
To apply for an academic transfer to a Spanish university, you need to validate the studies done in your home country. Here is a general guideline of the documentation most public universities will ask you to provide for admission through partial validation of studies (convalidación parcial de estudios extranjeros):
- Official documentation confirming your nationality (such as a passport, Spanish residence permit, or Spanish national identity card) is required.
- Official certificate of courses completed (Academic transcript), detailing the subjects studied and successfully passed.
- Syllabus (study plan) of all the subjects you want validated.
- A description of your university’s grading system, with the official stamp of your university.
- The curriculum of the degree that you started, describing the duration of the degree in academic years and listing the subjects of which it is comprised.
- To validate a subject the course content between the one you are currently enrolled in and the one you aim to join should be similar.
- Depending on the Spanish University you selected, some of these documents must be stamped with the official university stamp of your currently enrolled university. In addition, some of these documents must be legalized in case the study was done at a university outside the EU.
- To be considered, a transfer must acknowledge a minimum of 30 ECTS credits.
*It is recommended to check the specific admission requirements of the university you are interested in, as they can differ slightly between universities.
