Campus & Scientific Infrastructure

The faculty is housed in a modern, purpose-built facility that prioritizes small-group learning and practical simulation.

• Clinical Simulation Center: A core part of the training, featuring high-fidelity mannequins and simulated consultation rooms to bridge the gap between theory and hospital practice.

• Biomedical Research: Closely linked to the IdISBa (Health Research Institute of the Balearic Islands), where students can participate in research projects focused on oncology, cardiovascular health, and neuroscience.

Trilingual Training: To prepare students for the international environment of the Balearic Islands, the curriculum includes a mandatory 1st-year subject: English for Health and Behavioural Sciences.

Healthcare Pillar: Teaching Hospitals

Medical training is integrated with the IB-Salut (Balearic Health Service). Students rotate through some of the most technologically advanced hospitals in the Mediterranean:

1. Hospital Universitari Son Espases: The primary teaching hospital and the reference center for the entire archipelago for high-complexity cases.

2. Hospital Universitari Son Llàtzer: A secondary teaching base focused on integrated care and surgical specialties.

3. Primary Care Centers: Students spend significant time in the local "Centros de Salud" to master community medicine.

Tuition Fees & Estimated Costs (2025/2026)

As a public university, fees are regulated by the regional government. Tuition for the first enrollment is highly competitive.

Student Life: Housing & Dining

• University Residence (Residència UIB): Located on the main campus (Bartomeu Rosselló-Porcel building).

• Cost: Monthly rates for a single room range from €450 to €600 (depending on services).

• Facilities: Study rooms, Wi-Fi, laundry, and sports areas.

• Shared Flats: Common in Palma. A private room in a shared apartment typically costs €400 – €550 per month.

• Dining (Mess): The campus features several cafeterias offering a subsidized "Menú del Dia" for students (approx. €6.50 – €8.50).

Admissions & Entry Requirements

Admission to UIB is based strictly on the "Nota de Corte" (Cut-off Score).

1. Cut-off Score: For 2024/2025, the final access grade was 12.612 out of 14.0. It remains one of the highest entry bars in the Balearic Islands.

2. UNEDasiss: International students must process their high school credentials through the UNEDasiss portal.

3. PCE Exams: To achieve the required score, it is essential to take Specific Competency Tests (PCE) in Biology and Chemistry.

4. Language Proficiency: While some subjects are in English, the clinical interaction with patients is in Spanish and Catalan. A B2 level in both is highly recommended.
