The 4th Virtual Postgraduate Fair of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC) will be held from 23 to 27 February. It will feature a comprehensive programme of online information sessions covering master’s degrees, doctoral programmes and continuing education degrees in engineering, architecture, sciences and technology. In the live information sessions, faculty members will present the academic content, curricula and professional opportunities, as they answer attendees’ questions. 

Registration for the fair and the online sessions is now open for students interested in UPC postgraduate studies. The website provides programme details, a session calendar and a search tool to quickly find specific sessions and degrees using filters and keywords. 

Additionally, the fair will feature sessions covering topics such as the pre-enrolment and admission process for master’s degrees, grants and financial aid, and also talks aimed at international students, providing practical advice on degree recognition, visas, accommodation and more. The fair will also offer visitors a live chat service to address questions about specific postgraduate degrees.

A wide range of postgraduate studies
The UPC offers a broad selection of postgraduate studies, including 100 master’s degrees (50 taught in English), 46 doctoral degrees and 37 continuing education degrees in emerging fields of engineering, architecture, sciences and technology, all boasting high employability rates. 

According to data from the last graduate employment survey by AQU Catalunya, 94% of UPC master’s degree graduates are in work, with 93% finding work in less than six months. International experience also plays a crucial role: the UPC has over 1,600 exchange agreements with 695 higher education institutions worldwide and 80 international double degree agreements, allowing nearly 3,200 students to participate in mobility programmes last year.
