The purpose of requesting the B2 level is to ensure that you can pass the master's degree successfully. If you consider that you have a level comparable to B2 but you cannot prove it (for example because it is your native language), explain your situation in as much detail as possible so that the Master's Commission can decide during admission. We advise you, however, to look into formally accrediting your level.

Yes, you can enroll in fewer courses and take the master's degree more gradually. However, you must take into account the following:

• Each semester you must register 10 or more ECTS credits.
• Credits passed during the first and second semester must add up to 15 or more ECTS.
• You must pass the 90 ECTS credits of the master's degree in 3 academic years (6 semesters) at the most.
• If the approved credits in a semester are less than half of the enrolled credits, special monitoring will be applied to you with the aim of improving performance.

If you are admitted and have confirmed your admission, you can enroll during the administrative enrollment period. Usually this period is at the beginning of the month of September. If you have confirmed admission some weeks before registration you will receive an email with details on how to enroll.

In the Spanish system, there are two types of masters. The so-called "official university masters" grant an official title issued by the state, are supervised and accredited by state bodies and have legal validity. The so-called simply "masters" or "permanent training masters" grant a degree issued by a university or other types of institutions and base their validity on the prestige of the institution. On this page you can read a more extensive comparison.

Yes. Official university masters are the only ones that open the door to being able to do a PhD.

This is a difficult question because of the multiple factors that go into pricing. At a minimum, you should know that:

• The price of university masters is set by the Generalitat de Catalunya and can change (generally little) each year.
• Every time you do an administrative action (pre-enrollment, enrollment, application for the degree title, etc.) you have to pay the cost of the service in the form of "fees".
• The cost of enrolling in a course depends on the ECTS credits and how many times you have repeated the course.
• The price rates are significantly more expensive if you are not a resident of the European Union.
• Your particular circumstances, for example enjoying a scholarship, may change the cost.
• Complete information with detailed rates can be found on this page.

As an example, with prices for the academic year 2023/24, a student resident in the European Union without any unique personal circumstances, who enrolls in all courses each semester and passes all courses would have approximately a table of costs like the following:
