Abstract

This paper analyzes and compares the characteristics of the profile of new students in four science degrees at the UCM. In addition, the academic performance of students entering the University in the subject of Chemistry is examined, as well as its relationship with their starting situation. Likewise, the deficiencies they present in this subject have been detected, based on the degree of knowledge's self-evaluation of the pre-university syllabus of the subject. The results show that the majority of students would have chosen another university course if they had obtained the necessary qualifications for it, and less knowledge in subjects specifically taught in the pre-university course.
