University Admissions

Pathways to World-Leading Universities


At La Miranda, we thoroughly prepare students to secure admission to their dream universities worldwide. A multilingual education gives our graduates a distinct advantage in today’s globalised world, while rigorous academics equip them to excel in diverse international settings. In their final years, they are guided to choose the pathway that best aligns with their university goals: the IB Diploma or the National Baccalaureate, with the American High School Diploma available as a complementary option. Each route is academically ambitious, fostering the skills, confidence, and resourcefulness students need to succeed in higher education and beyond.

Through tailored guidance, hands-on experiences, and personalised support, our students leave La Miranda ready to embrace challenges, seize opportunities, and shine on the global stage. Many earn places at Catalonia’s top 5 universities, with most securing their first-choice courses.

University Guidance and Preparation


Personalised Guidance from MYP to Graduation

From the Middle Years Programme through to graduation, students benefit from the support of a dedicated University and Careers Counsellor, who provides personalised advice at every stage. Using tools such as Habilmind, which helps students identify strengths and aptitudes, and Unifrog, a comprehensive platform for university research and application tracking, students receive guidance tailored to their individual ambitions.

Structured Support

Our school offers a personalised, step-by-step guidance programme that supports students from their first exploration of university and career options through to successful admission. Led by our University and Careers Counsellor, the programme includes strategic application planning, aptitude testing, and guided use of international university application platforms.

Global University Applications Expertise

As a UCAS-certified centre — the official application system for UK universities — and a Common App partner, which allows students to apply to multiple US and international universities through a single platform, La Miranda provides comprehensive support for applications to Spain, the UK, the US and beyond. With the support of trusted admissions partners, we help students navigate competitive application processes with confidence and secure places at top institutions worldwide.

Career Exposure and Real-World Insight

Students benefit from career workshops, university fairs, guest lectures, and preparation sessions that provide first-hand insight into academic and professional pathways. Internship opportunities further enhance this experience, while many of our teachers and parents contribute expertise from professional backgrounds outside education, helping students better understand real-world challenges and opportunities.  

In addition, La Miranda has established collaboration agreements with several leading universities, including ESADE, ESIC, EAE, Hult, and La Salle. Through these agreements, students may access benefits such as personalised admissions guidance, free workshops, invitations to webinars and major events, private campus visits, and direct communication between La Miranda and university admissions teams. In some cases, these collaborations may also include financial incentives or scholarships.
