Entrance exams

What conditions must be met to cancel enrollment and what are the procedures to follow?

Comply with the requirements set by the regulations and submit a request to the center’s director within the deadlines established in the Center’s Regulations.

Is there open enrollment?

No, only official education exists.

Is class attendance mandatory?

Yes, attendance is mandatory for both classes and all activities organized by the center.

Can I enroll in two specializations at the same time?

No, pursuing two specializations simultaneously at the same center is not permitted. However, once the first year of a specialization has been successfully completed, the student may take exams in another specialization and request authorization from the competent General Directorate to pursue a second specialization. This will always be conditional on vacant places remaining after applicants who have passed and are pursuing a single specialization at the center have enrolled.

I started a specialization last year and I’ve realized I want to pursue a second one. Do I have to take entrance exams again?

Yes, an entrance exam is mandatory for the new specialization you wish to enter.

How do you get into the Higher Conservatory?

It is essential to take an entrance exam for the corresponding specialization. This exam takes place in June. If there are vacancies in one or more specializations, it is convened again in September. All prior requirements must be met.

What previous studies are necessary to take the Entrance Exams?

The High School Diploma (Bachiller) or, alternatively, the university entrance exam for those over 25. If you do not have any of these requirements and are over 16 years old, you can take a maturity test. The Professional Music Degree is not mandatory.

If the entrance exam was passed one year but admission to the center was not completed, can one enter the following year without an exam?

No. The exam only qualifies for admission in the same year it is taken. To enter the following academic year, a new exam is necessary.

If I didn’t pass in June and there are vacancies in my specialization convened in September, can I apply again in the September session?

Yes, as long as you pay the exam fees again.

Does passing the maturity test automatically grant the Intermediate Degree or High School Diploma, if one does not already possess it?

No.
