You can find the timetables for the courses from the bachelor in Data Science and Engineering from FIB in this link. Please make sure that the timetable that opens up is the one corresponding to your semester. To search for the correct course, hover your cursor over the initials and the full name will appear.
When you select a subject and its timetable is shown, you will find that the name is a compound of the course initials, a number and a letter. The number refers to groups and subgroups of that course. The numbers multiple of 10 refer to groups, and the numbers with the same tens, refer to subgroups from the group. You will have to choose one between the available. The letter T stands for “Theory classes”, and L for “Laboratory classes”. On the display menu, you can also activate the options to show the classroom number and language.
Classes are held on the north campus. Here you can find a map. If you display the classrooms, you will find that the first letter and number show the building, the next number indicates the floor and the last two correspond to the classroom number.

If you are a Bachelor student, it is possible for you to obtain some credits after attending the activities of the UPC Sports Service or one of the language courses that are offered by the Language and Terminology Service upon presenting a certificate in the academic office at the end of the semester.
The number of credits will depend on the type and time load of the activity. UPC establishes 1 ECTS per 25 hours; for example, for a 100 hours course the student would obtain 4 ECTS, while a 80 hours course corresponds to 3 ECTS.
The maximum amount of credits for a specific language are 4 ECTS; therefore, a 150 h course of a single language corresponds to 4 ECTS as well.
The maximum amount of credits for sports activities are 6 ECTS.
In your Learning Agreement, you can recognise a maximum of 6 ECTS from these activities. Here you can find more useful information.
Master students do not have this option, given that it is not foreseen in the program’s curriculum.
