  • CPE (Cambridge Certificate of Proficiency in English): Grade B.
  • CAE (Cambridge Certificate in Advanced English): Grade A.
  • TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) (internet-based): 75
• If the native language of the international student is English, and the University can confirm the native language, then the student is not required to take the TOEFL test.

The official scores become part of the permanent student record once the student has enrolled with the University.
• Have an interview with the Dean or a designee to determine English language capability

Other documents may be requested by the government authorities. For example, Financial Affidavit or Proof of Financial Support. International students must provide proof of financial support or financial affidavit that tuition and living expenses can be covered. The following are acceptable proofs:

• Bank statements or letters from sponsors showing said evidence that tuition can be covered including living expenses for a minimum of one (1) year.
• Completed financial affidavit signed by the prospective international student and sponsor(s).

For students seeking to attend classes on the Barcelona Campus, other documents may be requested by the government authorities. For example, an official document that shows that the student has enough funds to cover living expenses and accommodation for the entire duration of the studies (€579.02/month according to the Spanish Index Iprem). This should be issued by the student or sponsor’s bank. In some cases, the student will need to provide proof that he/she has sufficient funds to return to the home country.
