Your registration fees are determined by the number of subjects that you have registered for. The price of credit varies depending on whether the master's degree provides students with the access to regulated professional activities. For master's degrees that do not qualify for a regulated profession, the price per credit varies according to the student's nationality or residence. You can consult the registration fees for master's degrees here.

To calculate the full amount you must multiply the number of credits for each subject by the cost per credit of your course.

You should be aware that if you register for a subject for a second, third or fourth time, the cost of the credit increases.

Registration fees include tuition fees for the credits that you have registered for, the administrative charges, insurances and voluntary services if you have included any.

Students with foreign degrees obtained outside the European Union will also be charged the academic career fee.

4.2. Who determines the cost of the tuition fees and administrative charges?

The cost is set by the Decree on public prices, which is published in the Diari Oficial de la Generalitat de Catalunya.
