The procedure for gaining admission to a master’s degree involves taking the following steps (in chronological order):

1. REGISTRATION

1.1  Candidates must apply for registration in the online application       

You must send your application through the platform: Admission to UPC studies and pay the pre-registration fee.

You can check the deadline for submitting applications and attach documentation in the calendar indicated at the top of the page. The forecast of the next pre-registration periods can be consulted in the UPC Academic Calendar (catalan).

The master will be active in the platform to be able to choose it only during the pre-registration period.

Please note that your application is only valid for the course and semester in which it is requested. If you get a place, you must enroll or formalize a place reservation, since if not, in future calls, you will have to start the process from the beginning.

See sections ECONOMIC CONDITIONS, PROCEDURE AND REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION

1.2  Administrative validation of applications by the center

When you have entered all the data requested by the application, if you meet the access requirements and have attached all the required documentation, you will receive an email informing you of the administrative validation.

1.3  Academic validation of applications by the center

If the application is admitted to the master according to the academic criteria, you will receive an admission email. To confirm that you have a place, you must consult the list of admitted. The master's coordinator may require more information / documentation to complete the validation. If you are not admitted you will still be informed by email.

1.4  Acceptance of the admission notification by the candidate

Once the admission notification is received, you must ACCEPT the application in the pre-registration application.

You must make the advanced payment for the admission by following the instructions that you will receive (within 48 hours) by email. Payment is made through e-Secretaria and to access you will need a username and password that you will have received by mail (check your Spam folder). This amount will be deducted from the total enrollment once formalized, but, if it is not formalized, it will not be returned unless the master is not taught.

With the admission document, non-EU students can start the visa application procedures that allow them to stay in our country to study the university master's program. This document will be sent to non-EU students and on demand, if necessary, to the rest of the students. It will be issued once we have proof of the payment made.
