Students on master's degrees enrol in a given number of credits; therefore, the amount they have to pay depends largely on the number of credits they enrol in and whether they have to re-enrol for credits that they have not passed, for which there is a surcharge when they enrol for the second, third or fourth time. A full academic year is worth 60 credits. The cost per credit is lower than the real cost, as it is partly subsidised with public funds.

Use the simulator to find out whether you are eligible for an MECD grant. The simulator is intended to be a rough guide only, as many variables need to be considered. The simulator can help you to find out whether:
You are eligible for an MECD grant because you meet the financial and academic requirements. If you are eligible, apply for the grant through the Ministry's online service (spanish).
You are not eligible for an MECD grant because you do not meet the financial and academic requirements. If you are not eligible, you will have to pay enrolment fees. Consult the option for paying in two or three instalments offered by the UPC or the monthly payment of the loan from the Agency for the Management of University and Research Grants (AGAUR).
