Bachelor’s Degrees

The admissions process for our Bachelor's Degrees is already open.

The whole process is designed to be done online with the support of the admissions team at all times.

The admission process for the 2025-26 academic year will open from December 2024.

These are the details

How do I apply to IQS?

To apply for an IQS bachelor’s degree, you will have to start the admission process and submit a series of documents so that we can evaluate your profile. The first step of the admission process is to pre-register online.

The entire process, as well as the admission test, are designed so that you can do it completely online. You will have the support of the admissions team in case you have any questions.

The first step is to create an account and sign up here. You must save and remember your user name and password as they will enable you to continue the process you have started.

More information

The Admissions Committee will decide on your admission based on your studies, academic results, and the admissions test. The Admissions Committee will inform you on your admission by email within a period of 15 days from the date you took the admissions test (not counting holiday periods such as Christmas, Easter break, or any other holiday which could cause it to be extended beyond 15 days).

A student’s admission is conditional upon meeting the academic requirements necessary for accessing undergraduate studies.

The pre-enrolment payment is mandatory and is the step that must be taken before the enrolment period opens, during which time students must formalize their enrolment.

Once admitted, you have a period of 2 weeks to make your pre-registration payment on the online pre-registration platform by credit or debit card. Otherwise, it will be understood that the student is not interested in continuing with the process and their pre-enrolment will be cancelled.

Pre-enrolment does not entail an additional cost as the sum will be deducted from the total tuition fees when payment is made.

The payment is only refunded in the event that a student does not meet the requirements to access studies at IQS (not having passed the PAU exams, not passing studies prior to accessing university, or not having obtained their student visa), notwithstanding the right of withdrawal under the legally established terms.*.

Pre-Enrolment sums:
Undergraduate Programme in Pharmacy: € 6,705
Undergraduate Programme in Biomedical Sciences: € 3,000
Undergraduate Programme in International Business: € 3,000
Other Undergraduate Programmes and Dual Undergraduate Programmes: € 1,000

The enrolment period will open starting the last week of June. Pre-enrolment only ensures that a student can enrol in an undergraduate programme up to 15 days after the opening of the enrolment period. Otherwise, it will be understood that the student is not interested in continuing with the process.

We will send you an email with the credentials and instructions to proceed with your enrolment. During the online enrolment process, the following documentation must be uploaded:

  • Document certifying your access path to university.
  • Document proving your status as an elite or high-level athlete, if applicable.
