According to comprehensive reports from WorldWay: The enrollment periods for Spanish public universities are in February and October of each year, but the university admission application window is only open from April to September annually.
WorldWay immigration experts explain that if you have participated in the National College Entrance Examination (Gaokao) in China and obtained results, according to the agreement on educational equivalence signed between China and Spain, Chinese students who have achieved Gaokao scores can apply to Spanish universities through score equivalence certification without needing to take the Spanish university entrance exam (selectividad).
Before applying to a Spanish public university, you must first complete the Gaokao score equivalence procedure. This procedure is applied for at the National Distance Education University (UNED) in Madrid, requiring the collection of the score equivalence application form, your passport, and a notarized certificate of your Chinese Gaokao scores.
The Gaokao score equivalence procedure is now available year-round. The process takes approximately one to two months, so students intending to apply to Spanish universities should prepare the relevant materials in advance and submit the conversion request before May. June, July, and August are the peak periods for Gaokao score equivalence conversion following the exam.
Applicants must submit their university admission application materials during the open application period. All materials must be submitted to the university where the first-choice major is located; it is recommended that the applicant submit all original documents in person.
According to Spanish university regulations, when filling out the university application form, you may apply for 12 majors across six public universities within the region where the school is located. Each student can only apply once, and the application must be submitted to the public university of the first choice.
The admission score thresholds for public universities in Madrid, Spain, are announced in mid-July each year. If successfully admitted, you can begin preparing for university registration procedures.
Since 2008, all university registration procedures in Spain have been conducted at the university of admission. You need to prepare all relevant materials (passport, Gaokao score equivalence report, admission letter, etc.) and submit them.
Students currently enrolled in university should prepare double-certified certificates of enrollment and double-certified transcripts, and submit them to the department of the major they wish to apply for. If the credited scores exceed 60 credits or are equivalent to one full academic year, you may be admitted directly to the university. If you receive the results in October and they are qualified, but you have missed the university application deadline, you will have to wait another year. If they are not qualified, you will need to take the Spanish university entrance exam or enroll in an FP (Vocational Training) course.
