Documentation
Important information for all students with a right to exemption from paying enrolment fees or to a reduced fee:
For your exemption or reduction to be applied when enrolling, you need to email the document that justifies this to your Academic Management office (Gestió Acadèmica) before enrolling, unless this has already been done. This will ensure that you are charged the correct amount.
When do documents need to be sent to justify paying a reduced fee or for a fee exemption?
- If UAB already has up-to-date versions of these documents, there is no need to send them again (for example, if they were submitted in a previous year).
- If UAB has the documents but these are not up to date, they do need to be sent in, except for large-family cards issued in Catalonia.
- In all other cases, you need to send in the documents justifying a fee reduction or exemption to your Academic Management office.
Then you need to take the original or an attested copy of the document to the Academic Management, before 7 November. If the original documents are not delivered by this date, the enrolment fee will be modified and the corresponding amount charged.
Deadline for submitting documents
- Accrediting documents for exemption or reduction of fees: These must be emailed in advance of registration and the originals or attested copies delivered to the Academic Management before 7 November.
- All other documents (SEPA documents, access documents not submitted previously, insurance for students over the age of 28, etc.): The deadline for submitting the documents to the Academic Management is 15 December 2022.
If you are a new university entrant:
1. Contact your Master’s degree coordinator or follow the instructions from your Academic Management to arrange your pre-registration tutorial.
2. ID document:
- Students with a Spanish DNI: this does not need to be sent to the Academic Management. It still needs to be shown for identification purposes when carrying out formalities in person.
- Students from the European Union: after enrolling, take your original passport to the Academic Management, or else take the original ID document with your Foreigner’s Identity Number (NIE), or send in an attested photocopy of one of these by post.
- Foreign students not from the European Union: after enrolling, take the original and a photocopy of your Foreigner’s Identity Card (TIE) to the Academic Management, or send in an attested photocopy by post. If you do not have your TIE yet, take your passport and a photocopy of your TIE application. You have up to a maximum of three months to provide the document.
- Foreign students residing in an EU country need to email their NIE to the Academic Management before enrolling, to be kept on record. Remember that the permission to stay in Spain granted to foreign students is not the same as a residency permit. Students with a residency permit will be exempt from the fee for non-EU students.
3. SEPA direct debit order: To pay the enrolment fees by direct debit, you will need to fill in, print, sign and send the corresponding form to your faculty’s Academic Management office, after enrolling. The bank details must include the IBAN and BIC codes if the bank is not present in Spain. Only accounts in banks located in the EU, Andorra, the Vatican, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Monaco, Norway, San Marino or Switzerland are accepted.
Registration fees can also be paid by credit or debit card but, in this case, payment has to be made in a single instalment. Students who have applied for a grant must pay the registration fees by direct debit, so that the grant amount can be refunded where appropriate.
4. Qualifications for admission: Before15 December, you need to provide the Academic Management with the original and a photocopy of the degree certificate that qualifies you to join this Master’s degree programme, or an official document certifying that your degree has been awarded. Alternatively, you can send in an attested photocopy by post.
5. Transcript: This document can be emailed in digital format, provided it has a secure verification code (SVC), or else it can be sent in by post or handed in at the Academic Management office before 15 December.

Students abroad can send in attested or legalised copies of the documents, and the corresponding translations, where appropriate, by post or messaging service, addressed to the Academic Management offices.
6. If you are 28 or older, you will need to present the original and a copy of a health, accident and civil liability insurance policy that is valid in Spain. For this purpose, when enrolling, you can take out the complementary insurance offered by UAB.

10. If you have a Master’s degree from another university, you need to submit the transcript and an attested copy of the degree certificate.
If your qualification for joining this master’s degree programme is a degree from a university abroad, you should keep the following in mind.
