This process is aimed at ensuring that the student has the necessary knowledge to be able to follow and approve the studies. Applications are processed on a first-come, first-served basis. The application is made online through EINA's online registration platform. A pre-registration and admission fee of 380€ must be paid at the time of registration. In case of not being admitted to the course, this fee will be refunded. 

AUGUST AND SEPTEMBER ADMISSIONS: during the months of August and September 2023, the pre-enrolment and admission fee of 380€ will not have to be paid in advance. The UAB registration fee of €30.21 will be paid at the time of enrolment.

Degree requirements 

Continuing education studies can be divided into three categories: Masters in continuing education, specialization diplomas and specialization courses. 

To access a Master's Degree or Specialization Diploma it is a prerequisite to be in possession, at the time of enrollment, of a university degree or equivalent (EHEA undergraduate degree of at least 180 ECTS credits; a bachelor's degree, diploma or engineering degree prior to the implementation of the EHEA of at least 3 academic years). 

In the case of the Diploma of Specialisation, you must also hold a university degree or equivalent at the time of enrolment, and there is the possibility of access through recognition of professional experience.

It is not necessary to have a previous degree to access a Specialization Course.  

In the case of students with foreign degrees, please consult the requirements on the UAB website.  

Access by recognition of professional experience 

In order to access a specialisation degree, it is possible to do so without a university degree, by accrediting equivalent professional experience. 

Those who can accredit a minimum of three years of work experience in the sector, and that the work tasks carried out are related to the competences and skills achieved in the university studies that give access to the Diploma may apply. 

In order to recognise the professional experience, the interested person will have to present the following documentation: 

• Completed and signed application form 
• Employment report (Social Security electronic office), or employer's certificate with the tasks carried out, and/or contracts related to the competences of the study. 
• Detailed report specifying the tasks performed and showing that they are related to the knowledge, competences and skills of the qualifications that give access to the Diploma to which I am applying. 

If necessary, the study co-ordination will conduct an interview with the person concerned to verify the information and/or resolve any doubts.

Although Catalan and Spanish coexist as part of academic life at EINA and the UAB, classes are generally taught in Spanish to help non Catalan-speaking students learn. It is not essential to speak or understand Catalan to be able to follow and make the most of the courses. However, Catalan is present in the day-to-day life of the school and in some subjects or workshops.

No contents are currently taught in English, although the majority of the teachers understand and speak it. We recommend that foreign students should have a good level of Spanish, both spoken and written, to be able to follow second-cycle courses in this language. However, it is not compulsory to have a qualification or certificate showing their level.

Through the Language Service, the UAB offers Spanish and Catalan courses for foreign students.
