Admission

In order to gain admission to the Master's Degree in Numerical Methods in Engineering applicants must have studied one of the following studies:

• Bachelor's Degree (5-year degree) in Engineering in the following fields: mechanical, electrical, materials, civil, aeronautical, systems, mining, naval, telecommunications, physics, forest or agricultural
• Bachelor's Degree (5-year degree) in Mathematical, Physical, Chemical, Biological or Geological Sciences
• Diploma (3-year degree) in Engineering in the following fields: mechanical, electrical, materials, civil, aeronautical, systems, mining, naval, telecommunications, physics, forest or agricultural
• Diploma (3-year degree) in Mathematical, Physical, Chemical, Biological or Geological Sciences
• Other studies:

  If the diploma or degree is different from the ones listed above, the Academic Committee in charge of the master's degree will assess the applicant's curriculum in order to grant them access and establish the necessary bridging courses.

Students pending obtaining the degree that gives access to the master's degree

UPC undergraduate students who, despite not having obtained the bachelor’s degree, have pending the TFG and, at most, up to 9 ECTS (including credits pending recognition or transfer) or who have completed their studies, but are waiting to achieve, if possible, transversal competence in a third language. Under no circumstances will students who access this route be able to obtain a master's degree if they have not previously obtained a bachelor's degree.

Candidates from other universities who are enrolled in all the credits to complete the studies that give access to the master's degree can apply for access. Acceptance will be conditioned to the fulfillment of the general and specific access and admission requirements at the time of formalizing the registration.

You will find all the information about the general Access requirements to UPC master's programs here.

The following factors or parameters are considered for admission to the Master's Degree in Numerical Methods in Engineering:

• Academic record (F1 = 70%)
  Weighting as established by the Academic regulations for Master's Programs at UPC-BarcelonaTech.
• CV assessment (F2 = 10%)
• Motivation letter (F3 = 10%)
• Two recommendation letters (F4 = 10%). The letters must be signed by qualified professors/researchers or company-employed engineers.

Students interested in enrolling in this master's degree must certify their B2.2 proficiency level in English. The Consell Interunivesitari de Catalunya establishes the official certificates for meeting the B2 requirement on gaining admission to all UPC master's degrees.
