Universidad Politécnica de Cataluna

Programme overview

UPC offers integrated academic programmes composed of a UPC undergraduate degree and a UPC university master that together confer the academic preparation needed to exercise specific regulated professions. Where professional competences are conferred at master level, the university has designed these paired degree-master routes so graduates of the matching UPC bachelor obtain direct access and preferential admission to the master that grants the professional attributions.

What you'll study

The source lists the regulated professions covered and the UPC reference bachelor–master combinations that form the integrated programmes. Examples include architecture (Estudis d'Arquitectura + UPC master in Architecture), multiple engineering specialisms (aeronautical, civil, industrial, mining, naval and oceanic, telecommunications, chemical, informatics), and maritime professional titles linked to marine technologies and nautical transport programmes. Some masters such as Computer Engineering and Chemical Engineering are treated as assimilable to regulated-profession masters. The detailed table in the source maps each regulated profession to the UPC bachelor that constitutes the integrated programme and the UPC master that habilitates the profession.

Entry requirements

Graduates of the UPC bachelor that forms the integrated programme have direct access and preferential admission to the corresponding UPC master. Graduates from other UPC degrees within the same area of studies, who already hold professional attributions related to the bachelor, are granted direct access but not preferential admission. If you hold a bachelor from any other university, you should consult the individual master's web page for specific access and admission rules.

Career prospects

Completing one of these integrated programmes leads to eligibility for regulated professional titles tied to the master: for example, architect; aeronautical engineer; civil (camins, canals i ports) engineer; industrial engineer; mining engineer; naval and oceanic engineer; telecommunication engineer; and professional qualifications for the merchant navy (captain or chief engineer) once maritime embarkation and Mercantile Marine requirements are met. The source also identifies informatics and chemical engineering masters as comparable routes for their respective professional profiles.

Scholarships & funding angle (general)

The source does not specify scholarships or fees. Applicants should review UPC central funding pages and individual master web pages for scholarships, grants, tuition details and any programme-specific financial support.
