This program is open to all those in possession of a bachelor’s degree in mathematics or other equivalent official degree. In special circumstances, the Master’s Coordination Committee can consider other degrees, such as Physics, Engineering and Economics.

Students wishing to be admitted to a university master’s degree must hold one of the following qualifications:

• Official Spanish university degree.
• A degree issued by a higher education institution within the EHEA framework that authorizes the holder to access university master’s degree courses in the country of issue.
• A qualification issued by an institution outside the EHEA framework. In this case, applicants must either homologate their degree to its equivalent official Spanish university qualification,  or request an express approval from the Universitat de Barcelona. In the second case the Universitat de Barcelona will conduct a study of equivalence to ensure that the degree is of a comparable level to an official Spanish university qualification, and that it grants access to university master’s degree studies in the country of issue. Admission to the master’s program does not, in any case, imply that prior qualifications have been recognized as equivalent to a Spanish master’s degree, and does not confer recognition for any purposes other than the admission to the master’s program.

Requirements for academic documents issued outside Spain

The Master’s Coordinating Committee will evaluate the students’ potential to assimilate the content of the master’s program and, based on their previous studies, may decide to require these students to take leveling courses (up to a maximum of 30 credits) within the subjects in the bachelor’s degree program in mathematics taught at the UB’s Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science.
