Registration

(If all your documents have been issued by the Spanish government, please jump to stage 2)

If your documents haven't been issued by the Spanish government (that is, if you're not a Spanish national or have completed your studies abroad) you will need to submit them before the 31st of July 2023. (More information) If this is your case:

You must go to the Secretaria d’Estudiants on the first floor of the Facultat de Filosofia UB to submit the documents stated below or send copies of them by certified mail (i.e.: by apostille, such as the Hague apostille) to the following address:

Facultat de Filosofia
Secretaria d'Estudiants i Docència
C/ Montalegre, 6
08001 Barcelona 
(Spain)

Note that certified copies are needed only if you cannot come to the Faculty's office in person to submit the original documents. If this is the case, and you send your documents instead of submitting them in person, the administrative staff of the UB should enable you to pay the equivalent fees by Internet. In order to do that you must write to mastersfilosofia@ub.edu.
