Enrolment

To finalise the enrolment process, the department responsible for each master’s degree will notify you of the date, place and documents that you need to prove you meet the entrance requirements.

The documents required will vary depending on the institution that awarded the qualification or the qualification that entitles the applicant to be admitted to the master’s degree course:

Qualifications taken at UPC schools

  • Curriculum Vitae
  • If the applicant has other qualifications that are related to the subject area of the master’s degree and are different from those provided to meet the entrance requirements, the original certificates and copies (or certified copies) must be included in the application.
  • Qualifications taken at schools affiliated with the UPC or any other Spanish university.   In addition to the documents detailed above, applicants must provide:

  • Photocopy of Spanish ID (DNI), foreigner’s ID (NIE) or passport.
  • Original and photocopy (or certified copy) of the degree certificate that entitles the applicant to be admitted the master’s degree or proof of payment for the degree certificate.
