Types of access to university

General information

If you are over 45 years old, you can access university by passing a written test and doing a personal interview.

The Text Commentary, Catalan and Spanish Language exercises are common to the test for those over 25 and the test for those over 45. Therefore, if you take both entrance tests, you will take a single Text Commentary exam, a single Catalan Language exam and a single Spanish Language exam.
