UCA Technical Management Opposition 2026: 1 position, 30 € and everything you need to know

Key data

Just one public employment position at the University of Cádiz, but with very specific access conditions. The Resolution of October 8, 2026 convenes the selective process for the Technical Scale of University Management through the competitive examination system in free competition, framed within the Public Employment Offer (OEP) 2023. If you are a university graduate and are looking for stability in the Andalusian public sector, this is the process you should follow.

The examination phase has a maximum duration of 135 working days from the holding of the first exercise. The deadline for submitting applications and the specific date of the exam are not specified in the extract published in the BOE on October 21, 2026.

What does this regulation establish?

The resolution convenes a selective process to fill one position in the Technical Scale of University Management at the University of Cádiz. The system chosen is competitive examination in free competition, which means that any candidate who meets the requirements can apply, without needing to be a previous UCA employee.

The access requirements are as follows:

• Qualification: University degree, Licentiate or equivalent recognized qualification.
• Nationality: Spanish or from a Member State of the European Union (or cases assimilated by public employment access regulations).
• Application: Mandatory electronic through the electronic office of the University of Cádiz, with valid digital certificate.

Regarding the exam fee, the general amount is 30 euros. However, the following groups are exempt from payment:

Economic and operational impact

The direct cost for the applicant is reduced: 30 euros registration fee, with broad exemptions for vulnerable groups or those in unemployment. This is not a process with economic impact for companies, but for individuals who are applying for a stable public employment position.

From an operational perspective, there are two critical aspects to consider:

• 100% electronic application: Paper applications are not accepted. It is essential to have a digital certificate (DNIe, Cl@ve, FNMT certificate or other valid) before starting the process in the UCA electronic office.
• Examination phase deadline: The resolution establishes a maximum of 135 working days from the first exercise to complete the examination phase, which is approximately equivalent to 6-7 calendar months. This allows applicants to plan their preparation with a clear time horizon.

The deadline for submitting applications and the date of the first exercise are not published in the BOE extract. Applicants must consult the complete resolution and the UCA electronic office to obtain these dates as soon as they are published.

Who does it affect?

• University graduates (Bachelor's degree, Licentiate or equivalent) with Spanish or EU nationality who wish to access public employment.
• Active professionals who want to consolidate their career in public university administration.
• Unemployed persons with university qualifications, who also benefit from the exemption of the 30 euro fee.
• Persons with disabilities (degree ≥ 33%), victims of gender violence or terrorism, and members of large families, who also have fee exemption.
• HR advisors and employment counselors who accompany candidates in public employment processes.

Practical example

Imagine you are a graduate in Business Administration and Management, you are unemployed and want to apply for this University of Cádiz position.

In your specific case:

• Qualification requirement: Met. A university degree is sufficient.
• Exam fee: 0 euros. Being unemployed, you have a total exemption from the 30 euro payment.
• How to submit the application: You access the UCA electronic office with your digital certificate (for example, the FNMT or your DNIe) and complete the electronic form. You cannot submit the application on paper or in person.
• Planning: Once the first exercise is held, the examination phase cannot extend beyond 135 working days, which gives you a timeframe to organize your preparation.

If instead you are an active worker without any of the exemption conditions, the cost of participation is 30 euros, paid at the time of electronic registration.

What should applicants do now?

1. Verify compliance with requirements: Check that you have a university degree (Bachelor's degree, Licentiate or equivalent) and Spanish or EU nationality before starting any process.
2. Obtain or renew your digital certificate: The application is mandatory electronic. If you don't have a current digital certificate (DNIe, Cl@ve Permanente, FNMT certificate), request it with sufficient notice, as the process can take several days.
3. Consult the UCA electronic office: The application deadline and exam date are not published in the BOE extract. Access the electronic office of the University of Cádiz to obtain the complete call and final dates.
4. Accredit fee exemption if applicable: If you are unemployed, have a disability ≥ 33%, are a victim of gender violence or terrorism, or belong to a large family, prepare the supporting documentation to request the exemption from the 30 euro fee.
5. Plan your preparation: With a maximum of 135 working days for the examination phase from the first exercise, organize your study in advance once you know the date of the first exam.
