General requirements

General requirementsStudents wishing to be admitted to a university master's degree must hold one of the following qualifications:

Official Spanish university degree.
A degree issued by a higher education institution within the European Higher Education Area framework that authorizes the holder to access university master's degree courses in the country of issue.
A qualification issued by an institution outside the framework of the European Higher Education Area. In this case, applicants must request homologation of the degree to its equivalent official Spanish university qualification or obtain express approval from the University of Barcelona, which will conduct a study of equivalence to ensure that the degree is of a comparable level to an official Spanish university qualification and that it grants access to university master's degree study in the country of issue. Admission shall not, in any case, imply that prior qualifications have been recognized as equivalent to a Spanish master's degree and does not confer recognition for any purposes other than that of admission to the master's degree course.

Specific requirementsSuccessful candidates who achieve lower-than-desired scores in the standardized numerical admissions test may be required to complete bridging subjects; specifically, the subjects Introduction to Economics (6 credits) and Statistics for Economics and Business (6 credits) from the syllabus of the bachelor's degree in Economics offered by the Faculty of Economics and Business. Additionally, candidates must use Spanish on a regular basis or be able to demonstrate their ability by passing a Spanish proficiency test.
