Practical example

A veterinarian with higher education qualifications who currently works in the private sector and wants to access university public service must act quickly:

1. The call is published in the BOE on October 16, 2026. The deadline starts on October 17.
2. With 20 calendar days to apply, the deadline for submitting the application would be approximately November 5, 2026 (not counting possible adjustments for non-working days that the rules may establish).
3. The candidate must download and review the complete rules from the BOA of October 9, 2026 to know the exact titling requirements, documentation to provide, syllabus and phases of the competitive examination.
4. Once the application is submitted, announcements about lists of admitted candidates, dates and place of examination will be published as provided in the rules of the call itself.

This example illustrates the importance of acting from day one: with only 20 calendar days, there is no room to wait and "see how the call evolves."

What should candidates do now?

1. Consult the complete rules in the BOA of October 9, 2026: that is where the titling requirements, documentation, syllabus and process phases are. Without reading the rules, it is not possible to prepare a correct application.
2. Verify compliance with requirements: check that the Veterinary Medicine qualification and other required conditions are met before starting the process.
