Upon receiving the admission acceptance email, students have one week to respond and confirm their place in the program. If the student does not respond within the one-week period, they will be placed on the waiting list. At the beginning of July, there is an information meeting for accepted students.

Registration and enrollment dates are decided upon based on students’ academic provenance.

-Registration for students holding Catalan and Spanish Degrees

Finally, enroll and pay for classes online before the end of the month. Remember that the registration and enrollment period is limited. Failure to comply will result in your enrollment being revoked.

-Registration for students holding Foreign Degrees

Request the authorization of Degree from Faculty Secretary.

The following documentation should be provided:

DNI or passport

2 passport size color photos

Photocopy of bank account information

Degree, Official Academic Transcript and Letter from the Education Ministry from candidate’s country certifying that the Official Degree or Title earned qualifies them to pursue Graduate studies

All documents must be certified and possess an Apostille, if the country of origin is party to the Hague Convention.

Certified copies of the last three certified documents containing the Apostille should be made and given to the Consulate or the Spanish Embassy in the candidate’s country of origin. If the candidate is already in Catalonia, the certified copies should been given directly to the Faculty Secretary.

In addition to the certified copies, the candidate should submit to the Faculty Secretary the application form for authorization for foreign students to access the Masters. This will give the admission committee time to authorize the documents.

All documents must be in Catalan, Spanish or English language. If not, the documents must be translated by an authorized translator, a list of authorized translators can be found at the Spanish Consulate of your country. These steps must be completed in order to register and enroll in classes.

It should be noted that the majority of the Master’s classes are taught in Catalan (although homework, exams and projects can be completed in the language of the student’s choice, upon permission of the professor). It is highly recommended that student’s with no knowledge of the Catalan language enroll in an introductory course (the UB offers elementary level Catalan language courses beginning in August).
