A total of 16,805 applications have been formalized in the first 24 hours of the deadline to pursue a degree in the upcoming academic year 2025/2026 at public universities in Andalusia, according to data collected by the Ministry of University, Research, and Innovation. The registration period opened on June 12, the same day when the grades obtained by the students who took the University Entrance Exam (PAU) in Andalusia were revealed. Andalusian youth will have until June 23 to submit their requests.
Just like in previous years, the university access pre-registration is done exclusively online at the lajunta.es/portaldua website, which is the direct link to the Andalusian Unique District (DUA) website. On this platform, those who have taken the exams at an Andalusian university do not need to submit any documentation to their academic institutions. In general, those who have passed this exam can apply for a university degree place in the Andalusian public system. The application will be unique and will include, in order of preference, all the requests for the titles that the interested person wishes to pursue. This order will be binding throughout the admission process, so it is essential for the person to include a sufficient number of requests and in the desired order to avoid admission problems due to incorrect or insufficient completion.
To participate in the admission process, the Andalusian Unique University District Committee advises all students to submit the pre-registration even if they are not approved, anticipating that they may pass the exam after the necessary reviews. As it is a competitive concurrence procedure where requests cannot be included outside the established deadline, the software allows for a grade lower than five points to be entered, which will be automatically updated when the university assigns a new grade. If this grade is equal to or higher than five points, the request will be considered in the process with all rights.
The first allocation of places will be published on July 3. On this date, the enrollment, confirmation, or reservation period will start, lasting for seven days until July 9. The second allocation will take place on July 17 and will extend until October 10. In each allocation, every applicant must check their request and interact with the system according to their specific situation, as failing to do so will result in exclusion from the admission process.
To aid in the selection of degrees, the cutoff grades from previous years can be consulted on the Andalusian Unique District website, for informational and guidance purposes. The universities do not set these cutoff grades, as they correspond to the grade of the last student enrolled in each degree, university, and access route and may vary from one academic year to another.
Applicants are bound by the preference order established in their application, so upon allocation, they will be assigned the place corresponding to the most preferred degree and center where they are admitted based on their grade.
91.98% of students who took the exam have passed
The 91.98% of Andalusian students who took the University Entrance Exam in Andalusia passed, which amounts to 38,013 out of a total of 41,327 students examined in this mandatory part. Breaking it down by gender, out of the 23,402 women who took this phase, a total of 21,441 passed, representing 91.62%, while in the case of men, 16,572 out of 17,925 who took the exam achieved a satisfactory result, equivalent to 92.45%.
The highest grade was a 10 obtained by a student in the province of Malaga. This is the maximum score students can achieve in the Entrance Exam, but it can be supplemented with an additional four points from the Admission Exam, based on the grade obtained in these exams and the weighting according to the degree applied for. The next best grades were a 9.99 achieved by a student from Malaga, a 9.985 obtained by a student from Granada, a 9.975 reached by three students (one from Malaga, one from Huelva, and one from Seville), a 9.966 recorded by a student from Jaen, a 9.964 noted by a student from Cordoba, a 9.954 by a person from Seville, and a 9.95 achieved by nine students (one from Almeria, two from Cadiz, two from Cordoba, two from Seville, and two from Malaga).
Employment insertion survey to guide selection
The Ministry of University, Research, and Innovation has made available to students starting their university studies the most significant data from a report prepared by the Andalusian Institute of Statistics and Cartography (IECA) on the subjects with the highest employability and the level of job placement of graduates from academic institutions. This information is accessible through the Andalusian Unique District website.
This measure aims to provide these young people with relevant information to help them decide which degree to enroll in.
