Access and admission

Applicant profile and access requirements

Recommended applicant profile

People with a university degree, bachelor's degree or diploma or with a technical engineering, technical architecture, engineering or architecture or an equivalent university qualification.

Students who hold a UB-specific degree or undergraduate degree issued by the University of Barcelona may also be admitted to postgraduate courses, as these degrees are considered equivalent university qualifications for this purpose.

Applications from students who hold university-specific qualifications issued by other universities in Spain are decided by the postgraduate committee, or by a committee formed by the School responsible for the programme, once it has been verified that the qualification the student holds is equivalent to a UB-specific degree or undergraduate degree issued by the University of Barcelona.

Applicants who do not hold the required university qualification can be admitted to the programme and opt for a diploma or university extension certificate with the same name and number of credits as the postgraduate course, as long as this option has been established.

However, despite the above stipulation, students who need to earn fewer than 10% of the credits required to obtain a university degree may be granted conditional enrolment in these courses.

In this case, they must prove that they hold the qualification that entitles them to enter the course on the date established in the course proposal as the end of the teaching period, at the latest. The course is open to non-graduates; those students with a conditional enrolment can opt to receive the corresponding diploma or a university extension certificate.

Access requirements and conditions

The course is also open to students with no prior university education, who will acquire the same knowledge and skills and receive a specific qualification for their learner group. Information on the access requirements and other conditions can be obtained from the course directors.
