If you prefer to see it in video format, we recommend watching our YouTube video where we explain the process step by step.

To pre-register, you can click here , or search "university pre-registration Madrid" on Google. For students over 25, over 40, or over 45, the link is this.

Remember that this year, 2026, the pre-registration period is from June 5th to 26th. The list of accepted applicants will be published on July 10th, and appeals can be submitted on July 12th, 15th, and 16th.

Before starting the pre-registration process , it is best to have your identity document (front and back) and your university entrance exam score card on your PC, both in PDF format.

If you access the link indicated above, you will see that the first thing you must do is create a user. It is a very simple process that you have done a thousand times on many websites.

Once your user account is created, you will be able to access the process. This process has three steps to complete :

  1. Personal information.
  2. Academic data.
  3. Studies to request.

Personal data required for enrollment at the university in Madrid

In this first tab we will have to put our information: name and others, birth information and contact information. At the bottom you will see how you can choose any of the four ways in which you are going to apply for a place at the university in Madrid:

  • University entrance tests (EvAU, PAU).
  • Foreign educational systems (UNEDasiss accreditation).
  • Vocational training.
  • Official university degree and equivalent titles.

If your access was granted to someone over 25, 40 or 45 , you must indicate the correct route:

Academic data

In this tab you must complete the academic data related to the access route you have chosen. You will complete fields such as:

  • Applied studies.
  • Year in which you finished your studies.
  • Center where you made them.
  • Branch of knowledge.
  • Inclusion in some of the special quotas: disability, high performance athletes, etc.

Studies to request

This is the most fun part to fill out, because this is where you'll list the 12 university degrees you'd like to apply for, in order of preference. You don't have to list 12; you can choose fewer.

For this step, we recommend comparing the current year's cut - off scores with your own grades (you can use our PAU grade calculator or the UNEDasiss PCE calculator ) to see what your chances are of getting a place in the different university degrees offered in Madrid. We recommend making a list of the 12 degrees you would like to apply to, in order of priority .

Safeguarding and uploading documents for registration at the university in Madrid in 2026

Once you have completed the three previous steps, they will send you an email with confirmation of your pre-registration.

      Hi Javier:

      Once the pre-registration process is complete, you should receive an email with confirmation. Check your spam folder in case it has arrived there. If you have not received it, we recommend that you contact the Department of Education so that they can confirm if there is any problem with your pre-registration.

      A greeting.

    What could you do if you have not been able to upload the required documentation on time.

    I appreciate any guidance or help.

    Thank you
