Application request process

To apply for a place at Madrid’s public universities, you must complete a single online application, listing up to 12 courses in order of preference from among all those offered by the six universities.

• Pre-registration application for those aged 25 and over

If you believe you have not been allocated a place due to an administrative error, you can lodge an appeal against the decision not to admit you. In any case, we recommend that you enrol on the course you have been allocated, so as not to lose your place.

How to make a claim

Este proceso no está centralizado, por lo que deberás reclamar directamente ante cada una de las universidades en las que pretendes obtener plaza.

• Claims form and required documentation

You must submit your National Identity Card (DNI), Foreigner Identification Number (NIE) or passport, along with your entrance exam results (M25 results card); if you have already provided these during the pre-registration stage, you do not need to submit them again.

Complaints resolution

Claims will be processed as they are received, and you will be notified by email.

If your claim is successful, you must complete your enrolment by the dates we specify; otherwise, your place may be allocated to someone else.
