UIC Barcelona applies a holistic and comprehensive admissions process across all study levels. For undergraduate applicants, the university does not require a specific minimum high-school score, as offers are issued before students complete secondary education. Candidates must successfully pass UIC Barcelona’s online admissions tests and obtain a conditional offer, which becomes final once they complete and pass all required high-school examinations. For postgraduate programmes, admission is based on an evaluation of academic and professional background. Applicants typically submit a CV, motivation letter and recommendation letter, along with the official and legalised Bachelor’s degree certificate. In most cases, candidates also complete an interview with the programme director to assess suitability and alignment with the programme’s objectives.
