Access for over 45s

 

Access for over 45s

 

General information

People over the age of 45 can enter the university by passing the university entrance exams for those over the age of 45. These tests are common to all universities in Catalonia.
They can also simultaneously take the entrance exams for those over 25 years of age.
The exercises of text commentary, Catalan language and Spanish language are the same in the test for people over 25 years old and in the test for people over 45 years old.

 

Requirements:

  • Not to have any academic degree that qualifies for access to the university through other channels.
  • Be 45 or older in the calendar year in which you will take the test.

 

Test structure

a) General part: Text commentary, Catalan language and Spanish language.
Once this general part has been passed it will not expire.

b) Personal interview: people who have passed the general phase can request the personal interview. The interview can only be requested for any one degree, centre and university. This university does not have to be the same one in which the general part of the test has been taken. The academic management of the centre which runs the degree for which the interview has been requested will contact the interested parties to inform them of the date and time of the interview. The interview will deem the candidate as suitable or unfit, with suitable being a pass. The interview grade is only valid for the year in which it is conducted.
