How to make my study plan

In order to prepare your study plan in UPC, please note that UPC is a very decentralised university.

  • Candidates should select all their courses or almost all of them IN THE SAME UPC SCHOOL/FACULTY. Please clearly identify which would be your host UPC school/faculty. (Or main host UPC school). For this, please check here the list of participating UPC schools/faculties.

  • One semester is 30 ECTS credits. In UPC, incoming students usually follow a total between 25 and 32 ECTS credits.

  • Check here further details about eligibility and the courses you can take in each school.

  • Please remember that, for the UNITECH programme:
    - A minimum of 20 ECTS credits must be PASSED in your academic exchange. (Passed, not only registered.)
    - In UNITECH you can make a stay of 1 or 2 semesters (at least 20 ECTS per semester, excl. language courses).

  • If you take all your courses in one UPC school but you would need to take just 1 or 2 courses in another UPC school, please take into account the minimum time to move from one location to another.

    • Please note that the study plan that you will prepare now for your application is only a draft. Only after being selected and with admission confirmed, the study plan will be validated. There could be slight changes in the study plan; according to what you have approved or not in the spring semester, availability of courses in the autumn semester, overlapping in your timetable, etc. When you arrive, you have 2-3 weeks to make changes in your Learning Agreement (LA) if needed (with the validation of your host UPC school and your home university). This is very frequent; 80% of exchange students doing exchange in any university need to make some change in their L.A.
