If you still do not have your university degree (or comparable) but you plan to obtain it before the beginning of the UAB master's degree or graduate diploma you want to make, you can apply online now.

In order to do so, you will have to complete and sign the document for application without degree to the type of study you want to enrol in. Once you have completed and signed it, digitize it and be ready to upload it when doing the online application, in the section where the online application tool asks for the degree title.

• If you plan to enrol in a master’s degree:
  To apply for admission to a master’s degree, follow the instructions you will find in the "Admission" section of the master’s degree’s website. Upload the following document, filled, signed and digitalized, when you are asked for the degree title in the online application tool:
  Application form for admission with pending degree title: master’s degree.
• Failure to submit the degree title (prior to the start of the programme) will cause you to not be able to enrol in the master’s degree and your place will be lost.
  If you plan to enrol in a graduate diploma:
• To apply for admission to a graduate diploma, follow the instructions you will find in the "Admission" section of the diploma’s website. Upload the following document, filled, signed and digitalized, when you are asked for the degree title in the online application tool:
  Application form for enrolment with pending degree title: graduate diploma (document in Spanish).
  In case you fail to submit the degree title (prior to the start of the programme) you will still be able to enrol in the graduate diploma, but at the end of it you will be entitled to a certificate of achievement, not a title.

Please be reminded: you must submit the degree title or proof of payment before the start of the programme you choose and apply for. Do so at the User Support Office.

In some specialisation or expert diplomas, admission may be granted without a university degree if professional experience equivalent to bachelor level can be certified.
 

These cases are assessed through a professional experience recognition procedure.
