Application and Mobility Process

Application and requirements

General requirements:

  • Partnership with the FME: Before initiating the application process, please check with the international mobility coordinator at your University that there exists a bilateral agreement between your home institution and the FME. It is mandatory that we receive an e-mail from your home University nominating you as a mobility student. The duration of the exchange can be one or two semesters (full course) within the same academic year.
  • Language: Although there are no language requirements for admission, you must be aware that courses in undergraduate level are usually taught either in Catalan or Spanish. We strongly recommend that students have a good level (B2) of Spanish or Catalan if they choose courses in those languages.
  • Courses: It is not possible to enroll courses from other UPC faculties nor other Catalan universities. The available courses are the ones listed on our Courses Catalogue.
Those students willing to develop their MSc Thesis in our institution shall look for a tutor by their own. The MSc Thesis, if enrolled at the FME, will be defended at FME and the grade will be included in the transcript of records.
We do not recommend to enrol more than 30 ECTS for semester.

Application procedure:

You'll find the relevant deadlines on the mobiliy calendar.

Online Application Program

Enter on the Online Application Program and submit your application, here you will find a Tutorial for applying. You must use your institutional e-mail address when applying. We will also contact you through that address; check it often.

IMPORTANT: Due to the high demand of MESIO (Statistics Master's) and MAMME (Mathematics Master's) applications, both committees decided to offer only 10 places per semester for mobility students to enrol in each program.

 

Documents that you will have to attach during the application process:

Erasmus:
  • Learning Agreement through Erasmus Without Papers portal if your university is in the program. You must use your institutional email address when appling for the L.A. to be sent to us correctly.

When coming to our university, you'll have to take with you the original documents, dully signed and stamped by your coordinator.

Application acceptance:

Check on the mobility calendar the date of resolution of your application as exchange student to the FME.

You will receive a notification via e-mail communicating your acceptance/no-acceptance. If your application is accepted, you have to accept the admission by the Application Program. This step is essential. If it’s not done correctly, your application won’t be processed further.

If you do not have insurance yet, the UPC has an agreement with OnCampus (https://oncampus.es/en/seguros/oncampus-estudia/) and it offers a very complete insurance for the entire stay at an affordable price.

Live the FME!

    End of the mobility

    Before leaving the FME

    At the end of your mobility, before leaving the FME, you must come to the Academic Office in person, only if you need a handwritten signature, to pick up the Certificate of Attendance. Check the Academic Office opening hours. Otherwise, we’ll send it to you with a valid electronic signature.

    Transcript of academic records

    At the end of your mobility, you can download the Incoming Mobility Certificate from your personal space, just like a Transcript of Records. We only send it if requested by your home university.

    In some cases you will need to consider the following:

    - For those of you who have taken courses in the Bachelor of Statistics, you should be aware that these courses usually start and end one or two weeks later than courses from the Bachelor in Mathematics. Evaluations take more time than the other courses at FME; therefore, if you depend on those to graduate, you will have to wait until all the grades are included in your record.

    The ECTS grading system is applied in October. Therefore, the transcripts of academic records are processed right after the corresponding courses' evaluation is concluded.

    Find further information in our Frequently Asked Questions site.

    You can check the grading system in the Academic information page.
