Simultaneous Degrees of Mathematics and Computer Science

The Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science of the University of Barcelona has organized a specific itinerary that allows studying the Degree in Computer Science and in Mathematics simultaneously.

The basic features of this double itinerary are:

• Two degree titulations are obtained, with the respective minors:
  • Degree in Computer Science, with Minor in Mathematics.
  • Degree in Mathematics, with Minor in Computer Science.
• 348 ECTS credits have to be obtained (much less than the 480 to obtain the two separate degrees).
• The total intended duration of the studies is 11 semesters (less than the 16 semesters studying both degrees separately).
• The double itinerary consists in a scheduling of the subjects of both studies. The faculty has setteled equivalence tables to even out subjects of each major.
• Every semester has to combine teaching of both majors. In the first three courses, the subjects from Computer Science are imparted in the morning, and the ones from Mathematics in the afternoon. In the latter courses it works the other way around.
• The only way to be admitted in the double itinerary is from the offer of specific vacancies of new access at the Office for the Orientation to University Access. Currently, 20 seats are offered.
