Subject recognition

Recognition of core credits in undergraduate studies for official undergraduate studies previously completed

If, in accordance with current legislation, core credits must be recognised, once the Letter of Admission to the course has been obtained, the University of Deusto will draw up a preliminary recognition report detailing the enrolment terms for the following academic year. Recognition will be made once the enrolment has been completed.

Once you have enrolled, you can apply for the recognition of subjects based on:

  • Previous official university studies (whether completed or not), of equivalent or higher level.
  • Previous non-official university studies (whether completed or not), of equivalent or higher level.
  • Non-university higher education (Higher Vocational Training Programmes) (Only in undergraduate studies).
  • Cultural, sporting, student representation, solidarity and cooperation activities (only in undergraduate studies).
