Thanks. I will look into the ones that you mentioned. From what I have read, it seems that I can cross Santander out.

We have been using the Caja Madrid for many years, and the service had been fine until we moved to GIrona. Since the banks joined and became Bankia, two offices in Girona have closed, and the closest branch to us now is the one on Emili Grahit. On two separate occasions we went for details for opening another saving account and for signing a renewal for a term deposit, and on both occasions we were treated like they were doing us a favour. We had the contract sent to us from Barcelona where we had our accounts opened originally so that we didn't have to deal with the unpleasantness in Girona, but that doesn't turn out to help much, since just getting the paper for a simple signature involved a disagreeable encounter. The two women who worked there were not helpful and they treated us with such insolence that we had never seen in any other places that we had lived. One would think that service would have improved with the crisis, but obviously no. So, to cut the story short, I am thinking seriously to open an account in a different bank, although it would have been better in the same bank, and to move our term deposit too once it has expired. What banks would you guys recommend? We are not doing any seirous investments; we just want to be treated properly, as any clients deserve to be. Thanks.

 Hi, I checked out the webpage at Murcia. They haven't put any info. about the grades necessary for admission, which is strange. You said you had spoken to them, and they didn't give you any satisfactory answer. I would try again, maybe to the Dean's office: decanato(dot)veterinaria(at)um(dot)es 

One possibility is that they are now changing from Licenciatura to Grado, and there may be internal confusion. I would ask again. 

As for the certificate, from what I know, I need the Apostille de Haya when I applied for the doctoral programme. But for Bachelor's degree it may be different. I don't know how they recognize the A level, here the "selectividad". The faculty i am working in now only admits foreign students that have sat for the "selectividad" here. 

Sorry that I can't be of much help. But if you wish, I can write a message to Murcia to ask. I understand all the confusion and frustration, and the oppressive amount of bureacracy, I went through the same when I applied!

Good luck!

I don't know if it's too late, I just saw your post. I got my doctoral degree from the Universitat de Barcelona two years ago. If you need any info., would be glad to help. One place that is famous for vet. med. is the Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona.
