Documentation

a) Tutor's authorization

Pre-registered and accepted students will be assigned a tutor prior to the registration period. The student should discuss with the tutor before choosing module, elective courses... and fill a tutor's authorization letter (please download it), which has to be signed by the tutor and brought to the registration.

b) Rest of documentation

The rest of the documentation that needs to be demonstrated will depend on the institution where the degree has been obtained or the previous studies that have been completed that entitle the applicant to enter the official master’s degree course.

Qualifications completed in centres that are part of the UPC

  • Curriculum Vitae
  • If the applicant holds other qualifications related to the subject area of the official master’s degree course applied for and that are different from those given to meet entrance requirements, it is necessary to include the original certificates and copies (or official copies) with the application.

Qualifications completed in centres cooperating with the UPC or any other Spanish national university

In addition to previously detailed documents, it is necessary to provide:

  • Photocopy of DNI, NIE or passport.
  • Original and photocopy (or official copy) of the certificate that entitles the applicant to start the official master’s program or proof of payment for the certificate.
  • Original and photocopy (or official copy) of a certificate issued by the institution that awarded the qualification detailing each subject studied. The certificate must include information about the number of hours/credits studied and grade for each subject. This certificate must also include the global average obtained by the student.
  • Any other documentation required to enter a particular official master’s degree course.

Qualifications completed in foreign universities or institutions of higher education

  • Photocopy of DNI, NIE or passport.
  • Original and photocopy (or official copy) of the homologation of the qualification that entitles the applicant to enter the official master’s degree program.
  • If the title has not been homologated, is necessary to provide the original and a photocopy of the certificate (or official copy) that was awarded either by the university or institution where the title was obtained or by the education authority of the country to which the university belongs. This document must confirm that the duration of the degree was at least three years and that is it a valid precursor to studies at postgraduate level (master’s degree) in that country. If that is not possible, it must indicate the level of higher education that the degree gives access to in the country where it was awarded.
  • Original and photocopy (or official copy) of a certificate from the institution that awarded the degree detailing each subject that has been studied. The certificate must detail the number of hours and credits studied and must include the grade awarded for each subject. This certificate must also contain information on the mark scheme and how grades are awarded.

If the applicant holds other qualifications related to the subject area of the official master’s degree course applied for and that are different from those given to meet entrance requirements, it is necessary to include the original certificates and copy (or official copy) with the application.

Important. All documents issued in countries that do not belong to the European Union must be stamped and legalised by the appropriate government department. You can find more info on the legalisation process at

http://doctorat.upc.edu/admissio/legalitzacio.php

After the validity of the necessary documentation has been checked, registration for the particular course can continue. Once the applicable registration fees have been paid, the registration process is complete and the applicant is a student of the official master’s degree program of the UPC.

Tuition fees

Tuition fees are fixed every year by the Catalan Government and the universities. It is expected that the total fees for the whole Master (60 ECTS, one year) will be around 2000 €.

Registration for the Master Thesis (25 ECTS) may be postponed. It may be done when the student is sure that the MSc Thesis work can be completed before the end of the academic year.

At the end of the Master -i.e. after Master Thesis defence- an extra fee by an amount of ca. 250 € will be required for issuing the Master Degree Diploma.
