The Loyola University He hopes that before the end of 2023 he will begin teaching Medicine on the Seville campus. This is what sources from the Jesuit institution have made known after the General Council of Universities has given approval to the study plan of said degree, which had been questioned in spring by the Agency for Scientific and University Quality of Andalusia (water). For this reason, the Board is urged to approve the new degree before December, the time frame that the private center has to develop the first course of this education “under normal conditions.”
The announcement of a new Medicine degree in Seville aroused the interest of many students, which is why last April 180 applicants took the specific access test for this degree, opting to occupy the 60 planned places. Many of them performed this exercise given the high cut-off mark that this degree registers at the University of Seville (US), for which a grade higher than 13 is required.
The high score is mainly motivated by the high demand registered by these studies, for which there is not yet a very wide offer in Hispalense. Faced with such a limitation, many young people choose to go to other public universities where the cut-off grade is lower or to go to private education. A possibility, however, that requires good financial support that not all students have.
The cost of the first year
The figures confirm this other important “filter.” Loyola University itself publishes the price of the degrees on its website. Medicine is the most expensive. The first year of the degree costs 14,200 euros per student. This includes the price of the place reservation, which reaches 2,300 euros (also the highest), the registration fee (700) and the credits, 225 euros. The first course consists of 60 credits, like the rest of the degrees that are not double.
Loyola’s pricing policy clarifies that the payment to be made for reserving a place corresponds to the amount that, voluntarily, the applicant to occupy a position in a degree program pays. With this amount, the place is reserved, which will be formalized within the period established for this procedure. This money is then applied to official tuition. In the case of Medicine, as it is much higher than the tuition price, the difference will serve as an advance payment for the monthly payments that correspond to the academic year.
Monthly fees are calculated by multiplying the price of the credit by the number of credits required each course. The resulting amount is divided by the number of months in which the payment of the subjects for which the student has enrolled each semester is divided.
Hospital simulation
The fact that the price of credit in Medicine is the most expensive is due to the extensive instruments and services that the Loyola Faculty of Health has been provided with to teach this degree. Its facilities – in which 30 million euros have been invested – have pioneering equipment in this type of teaching: delivery room, operating room, critical care room, ICU room, triage, five consulting rooms and a multifusion room.
Sources from the Jesuit university specify that the order of the candidates to occupy the places is formed with the Baccalaureate and Selectivity grades and those of the specific test. All of this in the event that, once the degree is approved by the Andalusian Government, the demand for students continues to exceed the supply of 60 places. For now, it will only be taught on the Seville campus.
After Medicine, the highest prices for the first course at Loyola are found in two other health majors. Physiotherapy and Nursing, both with 11,200 euros per student. This second degree also faced the negative opinion of Accua in May. The General Council of Universities endorsed it at the end of summer and it received the approval of the Board at the beginning of the 2023/24 academic year, which allowed it to launch its studies in mid-October on the Seville and Córdoba campuses. The reservation of a place in both degrees costs 1,800 euros and the credits, 175.
Validation with the public
There are students who plan to start a career at a private university and then continue it at a public university. This “transfer” is not as easy as you might initially think. The first requirement is the cut-off mark of the degree, which must always be achieved. It must be remembered here that The Selectivity note is valid for two years.
The other factor is the validation of credits by subjects, which is now at the discretion of the teaching committees of each university. These bodies decide whether the syllabi of a subject taught in one academic institution and in another have the same level of knowledge. These criteria regulate the validation of studies between universities, whether public or private.
