Access and admission to GETT

The processes of selection, admission and enrolment of students in the degree programme in Telecommunication Technologies Engineering are defined in the procedures established by the Xunta de Galicia and are common to the entire Galician University System. 

This access is carried out in accordance with Royal Decree 534/2024 of 11th June, which establishes the basic regulations for admission procedures to official undergraduate university education.

HOW TO ACCESS UVIGO DEGREES

Common access requirements

Those who meet any of the requirements established in articles 4 to 8 of the Royal Decree mentioned above are eligible for admission to official undergraduate studies. These are:

  • Students holding the Spanish “Bachiller” diploma or an equivalent qualification.
  • Students holding Advanced Vocational Training qualifications (Técnico Superior), Advanced Artistic Design Technician qualifications (Técnico Superior de Artes Plásticas y Diseño), or Advanced Sports Technician qualifications (Técnico Deportivo Superior).
  • Students from foreign education systems who are eligible to access university without the need to take an entrance examination.
  • Students with previous university studies.
  • Individuals over 25 years old who pass the university entrance examination established in Article 28.
  • Individuals over 40 years old with work or professional experience related to a specific degree program.
  • Individuals over 45 years old who pass the university entrance examination established in Article 33.

The ABAU tests are organised for the entire Galician university system by a joint commission between the Xunta de Galicia and the three Galician universities, the Galician Interuniversity Commission (CIUG).

MORE ABOUT ABAU IN THE CIUG WEBSITE

Registration for the ABAU is done through the computer application NERTA and, when appropriate, in the places of delivery and collection of documents LERD, in any of the seven campuses of Galicia.

Access and admission criteria

There are no access criteria other than those derived from the limited number of new admission places and those established by current legislation for undergraduate studies.

The CIUG is responsible for publishing the admission criteria and procedures for undergraduate degrees in the Galician University System for each academic year on its website.

Recommended entry profile

The School does not have its own competences for the selection of students for undergraduate degrees, apart from the regulations set by UVigo itself. However, it is possible to define a series of general characteristics that students should have in order to face the studies leading to the GETT degree with guarantees of success. They can be summarised as follows:

  • Prospective students should have a good mathematical and physics background and basic knowledge of English, since most of the bibliography is in this language and especially because some of the electives will be taught in English (although there is always the option of taking the electives in the official languages of the University).
  • Among the possible orientations of the LOMLOE Baccalaureate (and previous LOMCE Baccalaureate), the modality of sciences is considered to be the most suitable for accessing the degree. With respect to the previous baccalaureate LOE, the most appropriate modality is that of Science and Technology. These formative pathways imply a previous orientation of the student towards the degrees in the field of Engineering.
  • In addition, all students who pass higher education courses will have access to the programme. The latter, according to the annual agreements signed by the University of Vigo and the Xunta de Galicia, may have credits recognised depending on the studies completed in these training cycles. It is recommended to the possible new students to take courses of the professional families “Image and Sound”, “Electricity and Electronics” or “Computer Science and Communications”.
  • From the point of view of personal skills and aptitudes, students should have:
    • Study skills and willingness to work.
    • Abstraction skills.
    • Synthesis and analysis skills.
    • Innovative and creative skills.
    • Relationship and communication skills.
    • Basic social skills for teamwork.
    • Curiosity and open-mindedness.
    • Ease of adapting to technological changes.
    • Interest in new information technologies (computer science, electronics, physics, mathematics, etc.).
