Reservation of a place at the master's degrees

Students who have been assigned a place at a master's degree program from Barcelona School of Civil Engineering, which for some extraordinary reason cannot begin their studies, can request that their place be reserved for a period of time of 1 to 2 semesters (in case the master's degree allows for semester access) or a year (in case the master's degree only allows annual access).

Once the reservation has been requested, students must pay the enrolment fees to formalize the reservation. These fees include the administrative services associated (management of the student record, teaching support and student's insurance, if necessary).

Students unable to begin their studies once the reservation period expires will automatically lose their place and the right to be reimbursed of the enrolment fees already paid. The reservation period can only be extended in case severe illness or injury is fully justified.

Who can place the request?

Only students with a place assigned at a master's degree program from Barcelona School of Civil Engineering for the current academic year or semester.

How can you place the request?

The request for reservation of a place at a master's degree program must be placed via e-Secretaria:

Access the e-Secretaria, with your UPC credentials:

• In the menu "Tràmits", choose option "Altres tràmits".
• Select the form "Altres tipus d'instàncies de matrícula".
• Fill up the boxes "Exposo" and "Sol·licito" explaining
  • "Exposo": the motive you request beginning the master's degree a year or semester after the admission date assigned.
  • "Sol·licito": the semester you would like to begin your studies.
• Click on "Sol·licitar".

Once the Bachelor's and Master's Degrees Support Unit (USGEGM) receives your request, the enrolment fees associated to the reservation of the master's degree place will be issued.

• You can check the enrolment fees form at e-Secretaria
  • In the menu "Matrícula", choose option "Impresos i pagaments"
  • Select the form "Reserva de plaça" and click on "Visualitzar l'imprès"
• Make the payment of the enrolment fees to reserve a master's degree place by credit card or at any of the banks collaborating with the UPC.

Students must send the receipt of payment by email to the USGEGM (admissions.masters.camins@upc.edu). The place reservation cannot be confirmed unless the bank receipt reaches the support unit.

When can I place the request?

Request can be placed in the dates established for master's degrees enrolment formalization in the academic year or semester of admission. Students may check these dates in the academic procedures calendar for master's degrees, which is published in this same page.

All those requests received out of term will be automatically dismissed, except in exceptional cases fully justified and documented, and despite this, they may be equally rejected.
