ADMISSION

In accordance with Article 16 of ROYAL DECREE 1393/29 October 2007, students must hold the following qualifications to access official master’s degrees:

 An official Spanish degree.

 A degree issued by a higher education institution within the European Higher Education Area that authorises the holder, in the country of issue, to access master’s degree courses and official master’s degree programs.(officially translated).

A qualification from outside the European Higher Education Area. In this case, the qualification should be recognised as equivalent to an official Spanish degree. If it is not recognised, the University of Barcelona shall verify that it corresponds to a level of education that is equivalent to Spanish official degrees and that it enables the student, in the issuing country, to access official master’s degree studies. Acceptance into an official master’s degree does not imply, in any case, that prior qualifications are recognised as equivalent to a Spanish master’s degree or for any purposes other than that of taking the master’s degree program. 

Papers to be submitted by student applying without prior validation:
* application for authorisation;
* official copy of the degree certificate or equivalent (authenticated and officially translated by the appropiate diplomatic channel )
* official copy of the certificate listing the course units completed (authenticated and officially translated by the appropiate diplomatic channel)
In all cases, the Coordination Committee will be the authority completing the procedure.

The University of Barcelona establishes the admission procedure for each master’s degree. This procedure includes specific criteria, criteria for assessing merits and, in certain cases, specific prior training. Each master’s degree has its own admission criteria, which can be found on the webpage. In all cases, admission will depend on the evaluation criteria established by the University and the master’s degree.

PRE-ENROLMENT

To access an official master’s degree, students must first pre-enrol as part of the selection process. A file has been drawn up for each master’s degree, which contains information about the selection criteria, the evaluation of pre-enrolment, the pre-enrolment period and the registration period. In addition, the file will contain the e-mail and telephone number of the coordinators, who can provide further information.

In accordance with Article 17 of ROYAL DECREE 1393/29 October 2007, students shall be admitted to a master’s degree, if they meet the specific requirements and merit assessment criteria. The university shall determine the admission requirements. These could include requirements for specific prior education, depending on the area of the master’s degree.
