The entrance exams for the bachelor’s degree will be held entirely in person.

The theory exams can be taken in Spanish, Basque, French or English. It will be necessary to indicate the desired language on the registration form.

If there are still places available in any speciality, Musikene may hold a new selection process during the month of September, which will be announced at the end of July on the centre’s website.

Yes, up to a maximum of three. It will be necessary to fill in the registration form as many times as the number of specialities for which you are applying. Registration fees must also be paid for each of the specialities. In the admission field, the speciality for which you are applying must be specified in each case.

Works that require it must be performed with accompaniment and candidates may bring their own partner.

Musikene will provide piano accompanists for those candidates who expressly request it in the application form and pay the corresponding fee.

In the case of Jazz Performance, the accompaniment will be with pre-recorded backing track(s) or with partners provided by the candidate him/herself.

Applicants may ask Musikene to provide them with a piano accompanist. In this case, 90 euros must be paid during the registration period. The fee includes accompaniment during the entrance exam and a one-hour rehearsal beforehand, at a time agreed by both parties.

At Musikene, the Pedagogy syllabus includes the subject “Instrument” during the four years of the Bachelor’s Degree. If admitted, students in this speciality must register for this subject with the instrument (or voice in the case of singing) with which they have taken the entrance exam.

The instrument to be used for Part B of the Pedagogy Entrance Exams must be one of those offered by Musikene, as listed below: Accordion, Harp, Singing, Clarinet, Double Bass, Bassoon, Flute, Guitar, Jazz (Electric Bass, Drums, Singing, Double Bass, Guitar, Piano, Saxophone, Trombone and Trumpet), Oboe, Organ, Percussion, Piano, Saxophone, Trombone, Horn, Trumpet, Tuba, Txistu, Viola, Violin and Cello.

The request for cancellation of registration for the Entrance Exams will in no case give rise to the right to a refund of the fees paid for this item.

In the case of the amounts paid for accompaniment (piano accompanist), the deadline for requesting the refund of the fee is 1 June 2026.

The Baccalaureate certificate or, failing that, proof of having applied for it, must be presented at the time of matriculation. It is not essential to present it on the day of the entrance exams.

If you do not have the Baccalaureate, the regulations stipulate that you can gain access by passing the university entrance exam for the over 25s, or by holding a Bachelor’s Degree of Arts, a university degree or a Higher Technician qualification.

Applicants between the ages of 16 and 18 who demonstrate exceptional competence or precocity in the corresponding artistic discipline and who, being unable to meet the requirement of holding the Baccalaureate, pass the maturity exam organized by the Educational Authorities may also be admitted.

It depends on the country of issue. In the case of holding a Higher Secondary Education qualification, diploma or studies or a Baccalaureate Certificate from educational systems of Member States of the European Union or other States with which international agreements applicable in this respect have been signed, on a reciprocal basis, it will not be necessary to have it officially ratified. (List of countries: Germany, Andorra, Austria, International Baccalaureate, Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, China, Cyprus, Croatia, Denmark, European Schools, Slovakia, Slovenia, Estonia, Finland, France, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Norway, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, United Kingdom, Romania, Sweden and Switzerland. In addition, International Baccalaureate qualifications or qualifications from European Schools).

Students from countries that are not on the list must have their foreign Baccalaureate Certificate officially ratified. The centre will conditionally admit students who can prove that they have submitted the corresponding application for official ratification while this is being resolved.

Passing the Musikene entrance exam only entitles the student to matriculate in the academic year for which it has been taken. Consequently, in the event of passing the exam without obtaining the corresponding place and continuing to be interested in accessing these studies at Musikene, applicants must repeat the exam in its entirety in successive calls.

Furthermore, according to Article 5.6 of Royal Decree 631/2010, of 14 May: “Passing this specific exam will allow access to any of the centres in the State where these courses are taught, without prejudice to the availability of places in these centres”.

Requests for grade reviews received within three working days of the publication of the results will be processed. These requests must be duly argued and justified in writing, dated, and signed with a valid ID card, foreigner’s ID card or passport, addressed to “Subdirección de Ordenación Académica” and sent by email to reclamaciones@musikene.eus.

The grade review could lead to an upward or downward change in the initially assigned grade.
