The Most In-Demand University Degrees in Valencia: Medicine, Nursing, Psychology, and More

2024-03-21 06:00:56

The degree in Medicine from the University of Valencia It is the most requested of the five public universities, and also one of the most difficult to access, not only because of the cut-off mark (13.4 out of 14) but also because of the few places available. Of the almost 6,000 students who requested it, only 660 were able to access it, meaning that 8 out of 9 were left out.

If we look at universities the statistics widen. At the University of Alicante 18 out of 19 students were left out of the Medicine career, according to official data from the Universities. In the case of the UV, 3,015 students competed for only 336 places.

This career is always one of the most in demand year after year, but it is not the most complicated to access. In Dentistry, 9 out of 10 people are left out. This is a career that is only offered at the UV, with a total of 80 places and 767 applicants. That is, 687 people were left out of the degree, which in recent years has caused the cut-off mark to skyrocket to 13.4 over 14, higher than many medical degrees at other public universities

The degree most in demand by students in the last PAU was once again Medicine at the UV, followed by Medicine at the University of Alicante (1,603 applications) and Nursing at the UV (1,492). Psychology It is one of the careers that has been growing the most in recent years, placing it directly in fourth place for the most in-demand degrees (1249). Despite everything, this last grade has a lot of places available, which makes it not so difficult to enter, although the cut-off mark is rising a lot.

The list is completed, as every year, by degrees such as Primary Education Teacher (1092 applications at the UV and 728 in Alicante) and Law, with 754 applications to enter the degree at the UV and 560 places in total.

The most difficult by universities

In college Miguel Hernandez from Elche Medicine is also the career that has the most complicated access, since it only has 137 places for the almost 900 applications from students who arrived last year. Another of the careers especially in demand is Psychology, with 469 applications for 135 places, and the list is completed by a career especially in demand by men: Physical Activity and Sports Sciences, with 257 applications for 150 places, which left more than 100 people out of the race.

The University of Alicante has the most difficult degree to enter of all; Medicine. Of 1,643 applications, he only offered 86 places. Nursing also stands out, with 200 places for 1,115 applications, which left more than 900 people out.

At the University of Valencia he stands out again Medicine or Nursing (1359 applications for 325 places). In psychology, only 450 people enrolled out of 1,249 who applied, and in the double degree of Physics and Mathematics (with the highest cut-off mark of all majors) only 30 students were able to enter out of 213 who tried.

Places according to the offer

The UJI It is one of the universities that usually offers a number of places according to demand (among other things because the majority of students decide to go to Valencia to do their degree). In Nursing, 120 places were offered for 336 people and in Medicine 85 places were offered for 350. The rest of the courses did not have a very significant surplus of students.

Lastly, the UPV He also didn’t have races that were very difficult to enter. The demand for Fine Arts is surprising, where 340 places were offered and 509 people tried to access it, so it is foreseeable that the cut-off mark will continue to rise in the coming years, despite the fact that it is already at 10.3 out of 14.
