Direct admission to bachelor's degrees at Barcelona School of Civil Engineering

Swapping universities and/or Spanish official studies

Students wishing to swap universities and/or Spanish official studies can request their direct admission to a bachelor's degree to the center without having to go through the university pre-enrolment procedure as long as they have been recognized at least 30 ECTS.

Students must previously apply for a recognition study if they meet the criteria specified below:

Who can request it / Scope

• Students who are pursuing undergraduate studies and want to pursue them at another center or university.
• Students who are pursuing undergraduate studies and want to switch to other undergraduate studies within the same center or at another center or at another university.
• Students who have persued but not finished a now extincted undegraduate program and wish to switch to other undergraduate studies in the same center or at another university. If you want to access the degree that replaces the extinct degree (or a subsequent curriculum of this same degree), it is not necessary to access it through this route.

Admission requirements

• Recognition of a minimum of 30 ECTS corresponding to compulsory subjects of the degree of the School of Paths to which it is wanted to accede. Under no circumstances is the final degree project (TFG) recognized.
• Not to be affected by the rules of permanence in the studies of origin, if these have been studied at the UPC.

Students cannot be admitted through this channel if...

• They are pursuing undergraduate studies at the UPC, and are left to pass only the final degree project in their original studies.
• They are from another university or have studied in accordance with previous university regulations to which, once the recognition study has been carried out, have to pass less than 60 ECTS of the studies they want to access. These restrictions do not apply to students who have completed a study plan at the UPC that is already extinct and have not completed it.
• They are graduate students or are in a position to obtain the bachelor's degree, given that the change of university and/or official Spanish university studies implies, in all cases, the closure of the original academic record.
• They want to study simultaneously or follow an itinerary leading to a double degree.
• They cannot be recognized at least 30 ECTS.

Students who have studied abroad

Royal Decree 967/2014 establishes that it is the responsibility of Spanish universities to validate foreign studies for partial Spanish university studies.

Students who have completed their university studies abroad and have obtained a degree may apply for recognition of the degree at the competent ministry or may apply for partial validations directly at the University, but never simultaneously.

If they want to apply directly for a degree from the Escola de Camins, they must first apply for a validation study of their foreign studies.

The procedure for admission to the University varies depending on the number of validated credits:

Admission to studies by directly applying to Barcelona School of Civil Engineering

• Validation of a minimum of 30 ECTS corresponding to compulsory subjects of the degree of the School of Paths to which it is wanted to accede. Under no circumstances is the final thesis recognized.
• These students cannot pre-register.
• These students must apply for direct admission to the Escola de Camins.

Admission to studies with university pre-registration by swapping studies

• Validation of less than 30 ECTS.
• These students will have to make the pre-registration by swapping studies in which they will only be able to request the study (degree) of the center that has made this validation to them and for which they will have to present the certificate of the study of the validation issued by Barcelona School of Civil Engineering.

Admission to studies with general university pre-registration

• Students who do not obtain the recognition of any credit can access university studies through general pre-registration, upon application for approval of their degree to the Spanish baccalaureate degree and passing the tests access for foreigners at the National Distance Education University (UNED)assis
