Admission note to official university undergraduate courses

For admission to official undergraduate university courses, the corresponding admission grade will be used to allocate places. This grade will be calculated using the following formula and expressed with three decimal places, rounded to the nearest thousandth and, in the case of equidistance, to the next decimal place:

    • Admission grade = NMC + ax M1 + bx M2
    • NMC = Average grade of the Vocational Training Cycle
    • M1, M2 = Grades from a maximum of two subjects passed in the optional phase that provide a better admission grade.
    • a, b = weighting parameters for the subjects in the option phase.

The admission grade will include the grades for the subjects in the optional phase, taking into account the correspondence between the subjects and the degree being entered, provided that a minimum grade of 5 has been obtained in that subject. See weighting parameters for subjects in the optional phase for ULL degrees.
