  13. TO ENTER UNIVERSITY • To enter university, students must sit for an entrance examination. All Catalan students take the exams the same 3 days in June and same test order. • The final mark is the result of an average between the Batxillerat (60%) and the university exam (40%) provided that students get 4 out of 10 in their university exam. • On top of it, each Faculty has its own “minimum mark”, it depends on the demand. For example, to enter the Faculty of Medicine or Journalism students have to get a high mark, while to enter Physics or some kind of Engineering as well as most Humanities Faculties a “5” is enough.

  14. UNIVERSITIES IN BARCELONA Barcelona has four public universities and some private. Public universities are: - Universitat de Barcelona (UB). www.ub.es - Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB). www.uab.es - Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF). www.upf.edu - Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya. www.upc.es Usually our students enter one of these four universities. If they have not got enough mark they can enter other universities in Catalonia (Tarragona –URV-, Lleida –UdL-, Girona –UdG-).

  15. GRANTS • In contrast to secondary studies, which are free of charge in public schools, university is not. • The cost (this year 08-09, is of €10,60 to €15,40€ per credit) it depends on the experimental activities involved in the studies. • A full year costs between €700 and €1200. • Students can get information on grants or loans in a specific web site (Agència de Gestió d’Ajuts Universitaris i de Recerca): http://www10.gencat.cat/agaur_web/AppJava/catala/a_beques.jsp?categoria=universitaris • They can also find this information on the Spanish Ministry for Education: http://www.mepsyd.es/educacion.html
