If you are a student from a member country of the European Union or a country with which there is an international agreement and if you have taken the access exam in your country of origin, you must apply to the UNED (National University of Distance Education) for a credential that you meet the university entrance requirements in your home country.
The credential is sufficient qualification for access, and this will be sorted according to the rating obtained on a maximum of 10 points.
Although it is not obligatory to carry out the University Entrance Exams, if you want to increase your chances of access, you can improve your average score by up to 4 points by taking the voluntary part of the exams. If you are a student of European Union education systems, you can do so through the National University of Distance Education (UNED). If you have a residence in Galicia, you can take the test through the Inter-University Commission of Galicia (CIUG).

We advise you to consult and take into account those subjects that have a greater weighting coefficient impact for the degrees you want to access.
