Requirements and Documentation

Access to the Bachelor's Degree is regulated by Spanish university legislation. Check your academic situation.

Direct access for those who have completed Bachillerato and the university entrance exam, in any track. No specific stream is required.
  • Bachillerato diploma or accredited equivalent
  • Passing the EBAU/EVAU
  • GASMA has no own cutoff grade: access is determined by available places after the admissions process
Track-specific subjects are not an exclusionary requirement, but they can add to the CEU admission weighting.

  • Higher Technician qualification in any professional field
  • Especially recommended for graduates in Hospitality and Tourism, Kitchen Management, Pastry, Restaurant Services or related fields

  • Record transfer: application for recognition of credits taken at other universities
  • Partial studies: assessed individually by the academic committee
Credit recognition may reduce the effective duration of your studies. Check with the admissions team before applying.
