At the same time, students have direct access to universities in Spain (both state-funded and private) and don´t have to enter the university entrance examinations (Selectividad). With their British A Level qualifications, students obtain their Calificación de Acceso a la Universidad (CAU) automatically. They can enter the “Fase voluntaria” exams in order to improve their grade point average by up to 4 points, especially if they intend to access a course that require a grade point average higher than 10 points, such as engineering or medicine. The subjects that are offered as part of the “Fase Voluntaria” at Thames are: Química, Filosofía, Lengua y Literatura e Inglés para extranjeros.
