Enrolment process for a master’s or postgraduate degree

Step 1: Pre-enrolment and Admission

Pre-enrolment costs €150, which goes towards matriculation and will be deducted as soon as the latter is formalised. It will only be returned if admission is denied.

To begin the pre-enrolment, fill in the form (indicating your name as shown on your identification document or passport), read and accept the “terms and conditions”, and attach the following files (which must be at hand):

1. Copy of a current identity document on both sides (Spanish students) or passport or CID (foreign students), in PDF format and no larger than 2MB.
2. Curriculum vitae, in PDF format and no larger than 5MB.
3. Book or Portfolio of projects, in PDF format and no larger than 10MB or a link to the book.

Confirm your pre-enrolment at the bottom of the application and make the payment of €150 on line. If you complete your pre-enrolment correctly, you will receive an email confirming receipt of your application.

We will inform you by email of the result of your admission request issued by the Coordination Department within approximately 5 working days:

• If you are admitted, we will reserve a place for you for 10 calendar days so that you can formalize your enrolment.
• If you are not admitted, we shall return the €150 which you paid for pre-enrolment.

Step 2: Enrolment

To formalize your enrolment, make the corresponding payment and send a copy of the payment receipt to matricula.masters@bau.cat. We will send you a copy of the registration form in the following few days, by email.

Students from non-EU countries will also receive an admission letter, which is necessary for the processing of their student visa.

Enrolment fees are subject to the internal regulations of each centre: Specific regulations relating to Masters and Postgraduate degrees of BAU

Step 3: Demonstrating previous university qualifications

After completing the enrolment process and in order for you to qualify for a corresponding Master’s or Postgraduate Degree qualification, you must personally submit 2 certified original copies of all requested academic documents to the secretary’s office at the BAU before the 31th October 2023.

If you prefer, you may present original documents accompanied by two photocopies of each document; certified copies of your documents will be made in the BAU’s secretariat.

It will not be necessary to certify electronic documents with an electronic signature generated or verified providing a Secure Verification Code (SVC) for the document or QR Code.

Photocopies without their corresponding original or scanned documents and/or documents without Secure Verification Code (SVC) or QR Code sent by e-mail will not be accepted for certification.

IMPORTANT: If you have university qualifications but fail to provide the requested documentation to the secretary’s office at the BAU before the established deadline, will be given a Certificate of Specialization.
