Ask your Spanish embassy or consulate for information on the necessary procedures for applying for a student visa. Remember that it will be important to prove that you have sufficient funds to support yourself during your stay in Madrid.
Begin the process of legalising your academic documents (título universitario y certificado de estudios de licenciatura) at least four months before the start of classes.
Complete the admission process at least three months in advance so that the university and the embassy or consulate have enough time to complete all the necessary procedures and you can start your master's degree on time.
If you are thinking of applying for a scholarship, you must first have reserved your place. This is a separate process from admission and enrollment, and you can easily manage it from the Candidate Portal.
Remember that scholarships have specific deadlines. Check all the information about Scholarships and grants.
The university has a team of counselors who conduct counseling activities and workshops in both high schools and universities. If you are interested in having us visit your school or visiting our university, please write to e.glezmesa@ufv.es.
The individualized career guidance session supports students as they make decisions about their professional future. It helps them get to know themselves better and reflect on their talents.
We work with the standardized EXPLORA test from Ediciones TEA, which provides us with information about each student's skills, knowledge, abilities, values, and interests. This is supplemented with an activity booklet designed by the UFV guidance department.
During the session, the advisor will provide feedback on the results obtained, attempting to shed light on anything that may help you make decisions or answer your questions. After this initial guidance session, which will last approximately one hour and fifteen minutes, you will have the opportunity to learn about the specific degrees in detail that you request. This second part will be carried out by degree advisors, who will analyze subjects, internships, and career opportunities. Students will receive a printout of everything covered during the session. If you are interested in more information or would like to arrange a session, please write to clara.teruel@ufv.es.
We know that arriving in a new country or university can be challenging, and sometimes overwhelming. UFV Beginner makes this transition smoother and more enriching. Our goal is for you to feel accompanied and supported from day one, and to meet other students from different majors through cultural activities and fun dynamics.

Payment will be made by bank card via POS terminal. During the process, it is important that when the student enters their mobile phone number, they include the international prefix, as the system sends a security confirmation message to the phone. This amount is separate from the tuition fee and cannot be deducted from any other payment. It will only be refunded in two cases: failure to pass high school or visa denial, in both cases documentation is required.
It is essential to have a Spanish bank account. International Admissions will put students in contact with a specialist agent who can help them with this process.
At UFV, we offer the Academic Excellence Scholarship, which awards financial aid to students who have obtained an average grade of 8 or higher on their final Spanish university entrance exam (homologación, Credencial UNED). This scholarship can be applied for after being admitted and having formalized the reservation of a place, and it is applied to the remaining amount after formalizing the payment of tuition. International students must have sufficient funds to pay for their studies at UFV and live in Madrid, regardless of whether we can grant them recognition for their academic excellence. Unfortunately, we do not have financial aid for students who do not have legal residence in Spain.
There is a university residence hall on the UFV campus with its own independent admission process. In addition, International Admissions will put students in touch with a specialized agent who can help them with this process.
The only start date for the course is in September; it is not possible to start the course in January. All relevant information for students can be found at the following link.

All non-Spanish-speaking students whose Spanish level is B1 must take a compulsory course taught by UFV during their first year in order to reach level B2 by the end of the course. The approximate cost is €500, which will be charged to the bank account provided by the student at the time of enrollment.
