The fees for official master's degrees are regulated in Article 81.3.b of Organic Law 6/2001, of 21 December, on Universities, in the wording of Royal Decree-Law 14/2012, of 20 April. In the case of studies leading to official degrees that are valid throughout Spain the public fees are set by the Government of Catalonia, within the limits established by the General University Policy Conference.The fees are not approved until the beginning of July, before the start of the academic year, so the total amount to be paid cannot be determined exactly until the moment the student enrols.

Affiliated schools

In the case of master's degrees taught at affiliated schools, consult the school's website.

Compulsory administrative fees for the handling of the academic record and learning support services must be added. According to the type of enrolment (annual or semestral), these fees are between €140 and €180 per academic year. Fees of approximately €300 for issuing and delivering the degree certificate are also added.

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.
