Requirements and Admission Criteria for Master of Numerical Methods in Engineering at Polytechnic University of Catalonia

English Requirements

IELTSMin 5.5
TOEFLMin 72

Other Requirements

1An official Spanish university qualification or an official university qualification issued by a university in the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) that qualifies the holder for admission to a master's degree. A qualification issued by a university in a country that is not in the EHEA. If the qualification has not been homologated, the UPC will verify that the course of study corresponds to a level of education equivalent to an official Spanish university degree and that the qualification obtained would provide admission to a master’s degree in the country in which it was awarded. This access route in no way implies the homologation of the qualification or its recognition for any purpose other than admission to the master's degree. The master's degree will, however, be fully and legally valid.It is compulsory to demonstrate the B2 level of English with one of the certificates recognized by the Interuniversity Council of Catalonia.
