University of Navarra Medicine Test 2027: Full Topic List (Syllabus)

Navarra's on-site Medicine test has 150 science questions, 50 each in Biology, Chemistry and Physics (plus 6 reserve), and a 30-question reading paper on a scientific article, which has no syllabus. Everything the sciences cover is on UNAV's own entrance-exam syllabi, quoted here in full from their English versions: 50 Biology topics in 7 blocks, 44 Chemistry topics in 8 and 24 Physics topics in 5.

All 118 topics of Universidad de Navarra's official topic list, in its own words, each with what to know, the IvyTest lessons that teach it and the questions of our free sample test that test it. Tick a topic off when you have it; your ticks stay in this browser.

Based on "Biology, Chemistry and Physics Entrance Exam Syllabus (English versions of the temarios)", the page on Universidad de Navarra's admissions site, as it read on 30 October 2026 (dated January 2024 (the English PDFs; the Spanish temarios are of December 2018)). The official wording is quoted as printed; the notes and links are IvyTest's.

Before you start

How to use this list

UNAV links one syllabus per science from its Medicine admission pages, in Spanish and, on the international admission page, in an English version. Each names topics only, block by block, with no weighting: the admission page gives only the question counts (50 per science) and the shares of the grade (Biology 30%, Chemistry 30%, Physics 25%). Neither version numbers its topics, so each paragraph is one topic here, numbered in the syllabus's order and quoted as printed in English. Two slips are worth knowing: Chemistry block 4 is printed "Oilic reactions" where the Spanish reads "reacciones químicas" (chemical reactions), and "isometry" in block 8 means isomerism. Work through a block at a time: read the note, learn it from the lesson, then check yourself on the practice paper's questions before you tick it.

The lessons are part of the Universidad de Navarra Complete Admissions System and open for students who have it; a lesson marked "members" links to the Universidad de Navarra guide, which says what it includes.

University of Navarra Medicine Admission Test

What's not on the test

A subject of its own beyond the three sciences and the reading paper. The admission page describes the test as 150 questions "de Biología, Química y Física" and a reading test, "Artículo científico + 30 preguntas test", so Mathematics is not a subject: it comes in through the calculations, which are "pequeños cálculos" done in the question booklet, because "queda prohibido el uso de calculadora". The reading paper has no syllabus at all.

Within Physics, the Electricity and Magnetism block lists Coulomb's law, field, potential and potential energy, equipotential surfaces, the relationship between electricity and magnetism and Lorentz's law, and names no circuits: no current, resistance or Ohm's law. Waves and Optics names reflection and refraction, and no lenses or mirrors.
