The University of Granada announces 4 civil service positions entirely reserved for people with recognized disabilities equal to or greater than 33%, classified in Group C, Subgroup C1 of the Basic Scale of Support for Teaching and Research. The announcement, published on June 19, 2026 through Resolution of June 12, 2026 (BOE-A-2026-13349), is a direct opportunity for access to stable public employment for a group with typically limited access routes.
The announcement differentiates two types of disabilities for the purpose of position distribution, and eliminates the economic barrier of fees, which significantly reduces the cost of participation for applicants.
What does this regulation establish?
The resolution announces a selective process through the competitive examination system, with open access, to fill 4 positions in the Basic Scale of Support for Teaching and Research at the University of Granada. The positions are distributed as follows:
| Type of disability | Positions | Group / Subgroup |
|---|---|---|
| General disability | 3 | Group C, Subgroup C1 |
| Mental illness | 1 | Group C, Subgroup C1 |
The access requirements are as follows:
- Possess a High School Diploma or Technical Degree qualification (or recognized equivalent).
- Have recognized a disability equal to or greater than 33% (general or mental illness, depending on the position applied for).
- Not already be a civil servant of that scale at the University of Granada.
Regarding the selective process, the opposition phase cannot be held before October 1, 2026. Applicants who need it can request accommodations for time and resources for the completion of the exercises, which must be accredited through a prior technical report.
Economic and operational impact
From the applicant's perspective, this announcement presents a zero participation cost: the complete exemption from fees eliminates the usual economic barrier in public employment selection processes. In similar announcements from other universities or administrations, registration fees for Subgroup C1 usually range between 15 € and 30 €, so the exemption is a real incentive.
For the University of Granada itself, the announcement responds to the legal obligation to reserve a percentage of positions for people with disabilities in public employment access processes, contributing to meet the labor inclusion objectives established in current regulations.
Operationally, the possibility of requesting accommodations for time and resources means that applicants with specific needs must plan in advance the request and obtain the corresponding technical report before the opposition phase.
Who does it affect?
- People with recognized disabilities equal to or greater than 33% (general disability or mental illness) who want to access stable university public employment.
- Applicants with High School Diploma or Technical Degree qualifications (Group C, Subgroup C1) in unemployment situations or seeking job stability in the public sector.
- People who are not already civil servants of the Basic Scale of Support for Teaching and Research at the University of Granada.
- Labor advisors, insertion entities and associations working with people with disabilities, who can disseminate this announcement among their users.
Practical example
A person with a recognized disability degree of 45% (general disability), who holds a High School Diploma and is not a civil servant of UGR, can apply for one of the 3 general disability positions without paying any registration fee.
If they also need more time to complete the exercises due to their disability, they can request the corresponding accommodation when submitting their application, providing the technical report that accredits such need. The opposition phase will not begin before October 1, 2026, so they have time to prepare both the documentation and the content of the tests.
On the other hand, a person with a diagnosis of mental illness and recognized disability of 33% must specifically apply for the position reserved for mental illness, since the positions are differentiated by type of disability.
What should applicants do now?
- Verify the recognized disability degree: Check that the official certificate accredits a degree equal to or greater than 33% and that it is current. If you do not have it, initiate the process with the competent body of the autonomous community.
- Confirm the qualification: Make sure you have the High School Diploma or Technical Degree title (or recognized equivalent). Without this requirement, the application will be excluded.
- Identify the correct position: Determine whether you are applying for one of the 3 general disability positions or the mental illness position, depending on the type of recognized disability.
- Prepare the accommodation request: If you need accommodations for time or resources for the exercises, obtain the corresponding technical report before submitting your application, as it must accompany it.
- Check the application submission deadline: Review the complete announcement in the BOE (BOE-A-2026-13349) to know the exact registration deadline and required documentation.
- Begin preparing the syllabus: With the opposition phase scheduled no earlier than October 1, 2026, there is time to prepare for the tests. Identify the official program published in the announcement.
