Admission request

2nd Attendance at online information sessions
It is part of the admission process to participate in at least one of the information sessions that are held online. In this way, we get to know you and we will resolve your doubts about the master’s degree and the admission process from the first moment.

3rd Interview
Interview with the Master's coordinator.
Once admitted, you can start your place reservation and registration process.

Reservation and enrolment

Once the admission process has been completed, the admitted student will pay 20% of the price of the first course of the Master, as a place reservation, after receiving the official admission letter. Once registration is formalized, the student will pay the remaining 80% of the amount of the first course in a single or instalment payment.

At the end of the first academic year, the student will receive a registration form corresponding to the second year and will proceed to pay within the stipulated period.

People who have been accepted into the master's degree receive an admission letter conditional on payment of a place reservation.

The reservation of a place must be made effective by depositing, within 15 calendar days following receipt of the admission communication, 20% of the total amount of the first course into a "La Caixa" bank account.

If the student does not make the reservation of a place effective, it will be understood that he or she renounces the place, thus authorizing UIC Barcelona from that moment to cancel and render void the place request made.

Once the place reservation has been formalized in the indicated manner, if a person does not meet—according to the state or regional legislation in force at any given time—the requirements for admission to the course; If you do not have the required qualification or the course does not formalize registration due to lack of registration, UIC Barcelona will fully refund the amount of the place reservation.

If the student, of his or her own free will, withdraws from the course for any reason, UIC Barcelona will fully and without obligation to refund the amount received as a place reservation as compensation for the damages caused.

Registration

The registration period will be communicated to those admitted with a reserved place once the scheduled admissions have been completed. Once the official registration has been formalized, the student will have 15 calendar days to pay the remaining amount of each year's registration in a single or instalment payment.
