Admission tests

• How can I be admitted to the Conservatory?

You need to pass an admission test in your speciality. Tests take place in June. In case there are remaining vacancies after the completion of the tests, there will be further testing in September. You must have all the previous requirements in order to apply.

• Which previous training is required in order to apply for the Access Tests?

High School Diploma (Bachillerato), or else, having passed the over-25s Test for admission into university. In case of having neither of these and being over 16, you can apply for the maturity test. The Professional Music Grade is not compulsory.

• If you have passed the access test one year, but you have not enrolled that same year, can you be admitted the following year without passing a new test?

No. The test is only applicable for admission on the same year it has been passed. In order to register for the following year, you’d need to do a new test.

• If I haven’t passed in June, and there are vacancies in my speciality open for September, can I re-apply for September tests?

Yes, if you pay exam fees again.

• Does passing the maturity test not automatically lead to obtaining the Intermediate Level or Baccalaureate degree, in the event that one is not in possession of the same?

No.
