In this case, it is essential that UNNE has recognized at least 30 ECTS credits.
  • l) Students who accessed university under regulations of the Spanish Educational System prior to the "Organic Law 8/2013, of December 9, for the improvement of educational quality."
  • m) According to "Order ECD/1941/2016, of December 22, which determines the characteristics, design and content of the Baccalaureate evaluation for access to the University, the maximum dates for completion and resolution of the review procedures of the grades obtained, for the 2016/2017 academic year," its sole transitional provision states that passing the Baccalaureate evaluation test for university access is not necessary in the following cases:
    • Students enrolled in a Baccalaureate course under the educational system defined by "Organic Law 8/2013, of December 9," who have subjects from the previous curriculum that were not passed before its implementation. They will take these subjects according to the curriculum of the previous educational system.
    • Students who obtained their Baccalaureate degree in the 2015-2016 academic year but did not enroll in university at the end of that academic year.

In both cases, if these students do not take the entrance test, their grade for admission to official university degree studies will be the final grade obtained in their Baccalaureate studies.

For students with special educational needs arising from disabilities, evaluations will be conducted to determine necessary curricular adaptations, alternative study paths, or itineraries.

At UNNE, admission procedures adhere strictly to university legislation, emphasizing the core principles of access to Spanish universities: equality, merit, ability, universal accessibility, and alignment with the criteria of the European Higher Education Area. To apply for admission to any official Bachelor's degree program at the University, prospective students must complete the corresponding application via the University website or request it at any of the university campuses within the deadlines set by the Academic Development Department. Applications will only be processed for students who have submitted the required documentation within the specified deadlines outlined by the Admissions Department. Additionally, students may be requested to provide further information deemed necessary to assess their suitability for the Bachelor's degree program.

For pre-admission and admission evaluations, candidates will be assessed on a scale of 0 to 10 points, based on the following criteria and their respective percentages:

• Academic record from the student's educational background: 60%.
• Structured personal interview: 20%. The interview aims to assess the candidate's motivation, work ethic (consistency), training, knowledge, skills, aptitudes, attitudes, critical thinking, scientific curiosity, creativity, communication abilities, teamwork capability, extracurricular activities (such as music, sports, languages), and future aspirations relevant to pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Industrial Robotics Engineering at UNNE. The evaluation will also consider the candidate's experience, technical and professional skills necessary for their chosen field of study, motivation, attitudes, and other personal qualities contributing to their adjustment to the program. This interview will be conducted orally in Spanish.
• Multiple-choice Psychotechnical Test: 10%. This test assesses personality traits, exploring emotional, intellectual, social norms, and values relevant to each prospective student applying for the UNNE Bachelor's Degree in Industrial Robotics Engineering.
• Candidate Presentation Document: 5%. Candidates will prepare a personal document outlining their motivation and interest in the desired studies, along with any other relevant personal circumstances for the selection process.
• English Proficiency Test: 5%. Reflecting the competences outlined in the Bachelor's Degree in Industrial Robotics Engineering, an English proficiency test is included to evaluate adequate knowledge of the English language, both oral and written. The test comprises a comprehension exam with multiple-choice questions, conducted face-to-face or online in computer labs at each campus, supervised by teachers from the Institute of Modern Languages. Candidates may be exempt from this test if they provide a document certifying their English proficiency through official certifications recognized by the "Association of Language Centers in Higher Education" or the CEFR, valid for one year.

Admission tests are evaluated within a comprehensive strategy aimed at assessing applicant characteristics to determine if they possess the motivation, training, knowledge, skills, aptitudes, communication abilities, extracurricular activities, and future interests required for admission to the UNNE Bachelor’s Degree in Industrial Robotics Engineering curriculum.

The Admissions Committee will consist of the Vice-Rector for Academic Organization and Teaching Staff, the Director of University Development, the Dean of the School, and the Registrar of the University. Any of them may delegate their responsibilities to a designated representative within their respective departments.

In cases where the number of applicants exceeds available spots, unsuccessful candidates will be placed on a waiting list for potential vacancies that may arise before the start of the program. Selection for these vacancies will follow the previously outlined admission criteria. The Admissions Department will convene to select candidates based on the evaluation scale and will notify the results to candidates via email, telephone, and letter, prompting them to proceed with enrollment. The enrollment process will include the following phases:

• Place Reservation: Candidates are required to reserve their place by making a financial commitment. This reservation secures the candidate's spot at UNNE. The place reservation fee is non-refundable except in cases where the student is not definitively admitted, fails to meet the legal access requirements, or is unable to enroll at UNNE due to justified medical reasons.
• Enrollment: Pre-enrolled candidates seeking to finalize their academic enrollment at UNNE must complete the following steps within the specified deadlines:
  • Submission of Documentation: Applicants must provide proof that they meet the requirements stipulated by Spanish university legislation to commence university studies.
  • Formalization of Enrollment Process Online: The self-enrollment service available on the UNNE website enables admitted students to complete all academic, financial, and administrative procedures within specified deadlines. Upon receiving their admission letter, students will also receive an access code and personal password necessary for self-enrollment. Once self-enrollment is completed, the candidate obtains official student status at UNNE.

  Students with non-university foreign studies pending homologation may be conditionally admitted to UNNE pending compliance with current regulatory requirements. Upon resolution of the homologation process, students must submit documentation proving completion. Failure to do so will result in voided admission, enrollment, and any exams taken, if applicable.

  For Bachelor's Degree studies, students may enroll in a minimum of 45 ECTS credits and a maximum of 70 ECTS credits per academic year for full-time study, and a minimum of 12 ECTS credits and a maximum of 45 ECTS credits for part-time study. These limits apply to all modalities offered at UNNE (in-person, blended or hybrid, and distance learning). The Academic Department Director may authorize enrollment in a different number of credits for exceptional reasons.

  Enrollment modification refers to any change made to a student's enrollment. If a student wishes to change their enrolled Degree, subjects, electives, or program, they must submit a written request to the Registrars for approval by the relevant Academic Department. Requests must be submitted within 15 days of the academic year's effective start or the beginning of the second semester. After this period, no further changes to enrollment will be permitted.
