A place is offered based on the number of places made available for each course and the marks achieved by the students.

The admission lists are published on the official University of Zaragoza bulletin board [sede.unizar.es]. This publication is considered to be the official notification for the interested parties, but has no definitive effect for the same should the University detect any errors therein, in which case modifications will be made to it.

• An alphabetical list of the admitted students, including names and surnames, admission mark and quota
