The second is an English language placement test, since, although the subjects are generally taught in Spanish, part of the teaching material, such as practical cases or articles from specialized publications, may be written in English. Finally, the candidate is presented with a battery of practical cases (2 or 3 depending on the specific program) related to the specialty that the candidate has stated he wishes to study.
Once the aforementioned proficiency test has been passed, the candidate maintains a personal interview with the Coordinator of the Program in which he is enrolled. - 2.- After the admission tests, the Admissions Committee analyzes the results and the documentation submitted by the candidate, and approves or rejects the application. The candidate receives written information about his admission, about the process of formalizing his enrollment in the Program and about the definitive documentation, duly legalized that he must submit.
- 3.- Formalizing Registration and Enrollment: After registration, the candidate proceeds to formalize their enrollment, selecting subjects remotely and completing the required information.
