Cut-off grades (nota de corte) for Medicine at Spain's private universities, 2026: CEU, Navarra, UIC, UCV and UAX

The final admission mark is 70% the School of Medicine's test (150 questions in Biology, Chemistry and Physics plus a reading-comprehension paper, weighted 30, 30, 25 and 15) and 30% the first-year Bachillerato average. To apply you need a first-year Bachillerato final grade of 7 or more: a requirement, not a cut-off. The March round's in-person test is on 13 March 2027 (apply by 9 March); the December round is for international students only.

Students in their last school year outside Spain can take another route: the ISAT (30%), an online School test in English (40%) and the record (30%). Navarra offers 200 places in Pamplona and does not publish the last admitted candidate's mark.

Its waiting list is the only one ordered by the PAU: per the admission profile, a waiting candidate's outcome "will depend only on the PAU result and on there being vacancies", counting the two best grades in Biology, Chemistry or Physics multiplied by 0.2. An admitted candidate pays EUR 5,500 as the first enrolment payment, refunded only if they fail the PAU.

The Universitat Internacional de Catalunya ranks Medicine candidates on 50% academic record (the last completed year: in the final year of Bachillerato, the first-year average) and 50% admission tests: a Biology, Chemistry and Mathematics test at first-year Bachillerato level (25%) and an emotional-aptitude test (25%). The structured written interview has no percentage: it "can raise or lower the mark by decimals or keep it". Wrong answers are not penalised. The next test is on 13 February 2027.

UIC offers 100 places and, per its FAQ, "around 550" candidates sit the tests. It is the only one of the seven that publishes its full list: the 2026/27 ranking (tests of 9 May 2026) has 474 rows, 130 ADMITIDO, 169 EN ESPERA and 175 NO ADMITIDO, ordered by position and candidate code. It gives no marks, so no cut-off can be read from it.

The waiting list closes "two weeks after classes start (late September)", and UIC warns that "until the public universities' cut-offs are published, there is hardly any movement". The place reservation is 20% of the first year's fee and is refunded only if you fail the Bachillerato or the PAU.

CEU San Pablo weighs the first-year Bachillerato average at 60%, the knowledge test (Biology and Chemistry) at 35% and the English test at 5%, and adds up to 2 additional points (pupils of CEU schools, siblings at CEU and other circumstances). Its 2027-2028 admission document is blunt: "PAU (EvAU) grades are not part of the scale for allocating places"; you must pass the PAU's general phase for the place to become final.

There are three sittings: 16 October 2026, 16 January and 10 April 2027, in person or online, and you can sit more than one (the highest mark counts). The bilingual group also needs 7 in the English block and B2 Spanish: the process's only numeric threshold, and only for that group.

The university publishes each sitting's admissions on 28 October, 28 January and 22 April, with the waiting list for the first two; a candidate who does not pay the reservation within 5 working days passes the place to the next on the list. It does not publish the last admitted candidate's mark.

CEU UCH's 2027/28 admission rules (approved on 30 September 2026) build the admission mark from 60% the first-year Bachillerato average and 40% its own test, the EPAM (75 questions in 120 minutes); on the bilingual Valencia group the test weighs 35% and the certified English level 5% (B2 adds 0.2 points, C1 0.4 and C2 0.5). Up to 2 additional points are added, among them 0.5 for being registered as a resident of the campus's province (Alicante or Murcia for Elche).

Bachillerato applicants need a first-year average of 7. The sittings are on 30 January and 24 April 2027 at 13:00, in person in Valencia, Castellón and Elche (EPAM) or online for those who studied outside the Spanish system (EPOAM); the fee is EUR 200 per sitting. Decisions come out on 11 February and 6 May 2027.

Places go by score and by the order of groups you choose: placed in your first choice, you leave the others; placed in your second or third, you stay on the waiting list for the ones above. No cut-off is published.

CEU Fernando III's 2027/28 admission brochure weighs the first-year Bachillerato average at 60% and the tests at 40%, split Biology 35%, Chemistry 25%, English 20% and reasoning and ethics 20%. Up to 2 additional points are added.

There are two sittings, on 6 February and 3 April 2027, at the Bormujos campus, with results on 11 February and 8 April. The programme page gives 120 places. No cut-off is published; a candidate who does not pay the reservation in time passes the place to the next on the waiting list.

The Universidad Católica de Valencia San Vicente Mártir ranks on 25% record (the Bachillerato average or the PAU grade), 40% the performance test (100 questions: 60% Biology, 30% Chemistry, 10% Physics), 10% a psychosocial aptitude questionnaire and 25% a personal interview. Every phase is eliminatory.

UCV is the only one of the seven with a figure that looks like a cut-off, and it is worth reading carefully: preferential access goes to students in the second year of Bachillerato with at least 7 in the first year, and to those who sat the PAU in the first sitting of 2024, 2025 or 2026 with 12.2 or more. Of the Bachillerato applicants, only the 500 with the best average sit the tests. The 12.2 is a requirement for that route, not the last admitted candidate's grade.

For 2027/28, registration runs from 1 December to 14 May, the tests are on Saturday 12 June and the interviews from 14 to 17 June. 180 admitted candidates are published, and those who sat the interview with 5 or more without a place go on the waiting list.

UAX's 2026/27 admissions guide scores candidates from 0 to 10: 70% the first-year Bachillerato record, 20% the specific test (a supervised online test of about 30 minutes; the programme page describes it as 30 Biology and 20 Chemistry questions), 5% a competency test and 5% a language test, with 0.5 extra points in some cases. UAX has not published its 2027/28 guide yet.

The guide reserves at least 170 places for Bachillerato and equivalent routes and up to 10 for higher vocational qualifications, graduates and university students; the programme page says 240 first-year places. Medicine is also taught in Oviedo, at the Centro Universitario Alfonso X el Sabio Asturias. UAX's own FAQ answers that "in many degrees no cut-off is applied as an admission criterion".

In the 2026/27 guide, the final list of admitted Medicine students was due on 31 July. A candidate who does not pay the reservation (EUR 3,000) and enrolment (EUR 1,350) in time loses the direct offer and goes on the waiting list.
