Requirements


For admission purposes, in order to access higher artistic education in music, applicants must meet the academic requirement of the Batxillerat (Baccalaureate) and pass the corresponding specific entrance examination.

Academic requirement
  • The Batxillerat diploma,

  • A Higher Vocational Training diploma, or

  • Passing the university entrance exams for candidates over 25 years of age.


The following are considered equivalent for admission purposes:

  • The Batxillerat diploma, LOGSE or LOE,

  • The BUP + COU diploma (Plan 1970),

  • The entrance exam for Higher Vocational Training + the Compulsory Secondary Education diploma,

  • Any university degree (licenciatura or diplomatura), including any higher diploma in music (Plan 66, LOGSE, LOE).


The documentation to be submitted is the diploma itself or the corresponding provisional certificate. Only in the case of students who complete the LOE Batxillerat in the same academic year in which they take the entrance examination will an academic certificate stating that they are eligible to obtain the diploma be accepted.

Applicants without the academic requirement

Applicants who do not meet this requirement may take an examination, organised annually by the Department of Education, which certifies the level of maturity required in relation to the objectives of the Batxillerat.


Participation requirements
The exam is aimed at candidates between 16 years of age (turning 16 during 2025) and 18 years of age who wish to access higher artistic studies in music and dance without meeting the academic admission requirement. Eligible candidates are those within this age range who are currently enrolled in the 6th year of professional studies in music or dance, or who have passed the entrance examination for the 6th year of professional level, and wish to access higher artistic studies in music or dance.

If the entrance exam for the 6th year of professional level in a specific specialisation is not scheduled, applicants may request its administration from the Servei d’Ordenació dels Ensenyaments de Règim Especial (Via Augusta 202-226, Barcelona). The deadline for submitting this request will be from 1 to 4 April 2025.
