Documents required and procedure to follow (UNEDasiss)

To pre-register at university, you must have a digital certificate that allows you, as an international student, to take part in the admission process for undergraduate studies in Spain.

To process this application, you must go to UNEDasiss (*), a service provided by the Spanish National University of Distance Education (UNED) created to manage access and admission to Spanish universities for students. It is particularly aimed at international students and allows international students to obtain accreditation to apply for admission to undergraduate studies at Spanish universities.

Once the student's application for accreditation has been granted, this certificate is available to universities through the UNEDasiss digital platform.

The steps to follow to apply for accreditation in this way are as follows:

1. Draw up a plan

Find out about the legal procedures for studying in Spain through the Spanish diplomatic offices abroad. Bear in mind the deadlines for these procedures. You can check these in their website: https://unedasiss.uned.es/fechas_clave

Check the requirements for the studies you are interested in. For many studies you will need to take specific competency tests, so it is important that you start preparing as soon as possible.

2. Prepare all documents to send to UNEDasiss

For students from the European Union or education systems with reciprocity agreements, the required documents will generally be the following:

• A certified copy of the academic records from your last two pre-university years.
• A certified copy of the document accrediting admission to university in the educational system in your country of origin.
• If you present your documents in Spain, and are a resident here, you will not need to certify or notarise your documents. You must present the originals as described in the following link.
• If the documents are not in Spanish, they must be translated.

For other education systems, the general documents is as follows:

• A legalised copy of your academic records for the last two pre-university years (Hague Apostille or legalisation through diplomatic channels).
• A document accrediting homologation of studies to make them equivalent to a Spanish Baccalaureate or a receipt proving that you have applied for this document.
• If the documents are not in Spanish, they must be translated.
