Admission to Specialization Schools is restricted to candidates who hold the professional qualification required to practice their profession. Programmes have a limited number of places available each year, and admission is subject to passing an entrance examination. Admission requirements and procedures are specified in the calls for applications published on the websites of the individual Specialization Schools.
Admission is open to graduates in Medicine and Surgery who have obtained their degree before the application deadline established in the call for applications. Candidates must also pass the State Examination qualifying them to practice as medical doctors by the deadline set for the beginning of the educational activities of the schools; failure to do so will result in exclusion.
