Teaching during the Spring term 2021

Unfortunately, teaching during the Spring term will have to be online until further notice. We hope you are well and your families are healthy too. Do not hesitate to write to the lecturers of your courses or to the Faculty if your circumstances prevent you from following the lectures.

We remind you that the University of Barcelona offers support through a program called ConnectaUB in order to ensure that all students have Internet access. You may contact the Faculty if you need assistance beyond this program.

The Heads of Studies of the Faculty’s degrees and the Master’s Coordinators have modified their schedules in order to adapt them better to online teaching. An effort has been made to schedule synchronous lectures, and in many courses a percentage of 100% will be achieved. Details about each degree or master are given below:

– Changes in the Mathematics Degree have been compiled into a new timetable that can be found in the Faculty’s website or directly through this link. This schedule will be valid since the start of the lectures on February 15. If hybrid teaching can be restored, then the (so far unchanged) hours and classrooms indications given in GRAD.

– Changes in the Computer Science Degree have been incorporated into GRAD. The only amendments involve redistribution of student subgroups in some courses within the already existing schedule. Moving to another group or to another course will be allowed within the administrative period for registration.

– A new schedule has been drawn for the Master’s Degree in Fundamental Principles of Data Science, including shortening of the calendar period for some courses. Details have been posted in the Master’s GRAD.

– There are no changes in the Master’s Degree in Advanced Mathematics, where 100% of the teaching time remains synchronous: link to the Master’s schedule.

– An updated schedule for the Master’s Degree in Artificial Intelligence can be found in the Master’s website.

Double degree students may contact their coordinators in case of time conflict.

Exams will be organized as specified in each course’s teaching plan, and will be held in classrooms unless other instructions are given by the health authorities.

We very much hope that face-to-face teaching can be restored soon and academic life resumes as it used to be. In the meantime, we wish you health and success.
