On 4 March PROCICAT issued new advice on face-to-face teaching at Catalan universities to allow up to 30% of attendance at lectures. The schools of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya · BarcelonaTech (UPC) will inform of how and when specific changes in attendance will be implemented over the coming weeks, since the current measures will be in place for seven days and may be extended.

On 8 February, in accordance with the measures approved by PROCICAT, lectures for first-year bachelor’s degree students were resumed with restricted attendance at the UPC. Face-to-face practicals and exams for other students continue as scheduled. Each school will give details of how subjects will be taught, based on the contingency plans adopted in the autumn for these students.

The UPC continues to work to keep campuses safe during the pandemic and urges the university community to pay special attention to personal protection measures.
