- Due to the different location of the faculty and the teaching units, it is not possible to take subjects from the Leioa block (1st, 2nd and 3rd) and at the same time from the block of the teaching units (4th, 5th and 6th).No changes are permitted once the choice has been made.
- The Teaching Unit that will be assigned to students who come to study 4th and 5th year will be, for the most part, the Vitoria Teaching Unit.
- The subjects Surgery I and II, and Clinical Medical Pathology I and II must be taken in their entirety.
- Priority period for clinical internships in the 6th year of Medicine: September to December. Outside these dates will be assessed but there is no guarantee of availability of places.
- Due to the fact that the Faculty and the Teaching Units are located in different places, it is difficult to combine the courses taught in one with those taught in the other.
- No changes will be allowed once the Teaching Unit and rotations have been awarded.
- Student orientation will be carried out at the designated Teaching Unit.
- Students will not be admitted in June, July and August (non-school).
