Marks

University entrance marks (NAU)

Calculated with the average mark from upper secondary school (60%) and the arithmetic average of the marks obtained on the five exams of the Compulsory Phase, provided that it is equal or higher than four (40%).

University degrees’ entrance marks (NAT)

Obtained by increasing the university entrance mark with the marks obtained on the Voluntary Phase subjects.

The university degrees’ entrance marks will add the marks of these subjects in a weighted manner, multiplying by 0,1 the mark of the subjects that are assigned to the branch of knowledge of the degree, or by 0,2 if they are subjects selected by the universities to access each degree. 

The university degrees’ entrance marks may be different depending on the degree requested in the pre-enrolment, since in each case the grades of the subjects examined in the Voluntary Phase may be weighted differently (0,1 or 0,2).

Therefore, the NAT calculation formula is as it follows:

  • (CMB x 0.6 + CFG x 0.4) + A x M1 + B x M2

CMB: Average grades of upper secondary school
CFG: Compulsory phase marks
A y B: weighting coefficients according to the link between the subject examined in the Voluntary Phase and the degree for which a place is requested (0, 0,1 or 0,2).

M1 y M2: Results obtained on the Voluntary Phase subjects that provide better marks for admission.
