The bachelor's degree in Data Science and Engineering responds to the need for graduates who have a multidisciplinary view of engineering and who are able to take on the challenges posed by technological advances that are based, in large part, on computational systems that generate and analyse massive amounts of data. The degree aims to produce professionals who are experts in analysing and engineering structured and unstructured data (text, audio, video, medical tests, financial indicators, etc.) and who have a solid grounding in mathematics and the engineering skills to model and solve complex problems. Data science and engineering is an emerging field that has applications as diverse as financial analysis, the study of physical phenomena, e-commerce, smart cities, biomedical information, genomics and social networks.

Secondary students from UE and countries with reciprocity agreements

Students from the education systems of EU member states or any other country that has signed a reciprocity agreement with Spain may apply for admission directly, without the need to sit the PAU, provided they meet the academic requirements in force in their own education systems to attend university.

These students must have adequate knowledge of the language in which the courses will be taught. The Spanish National Distance Education University (UNED) is responsible for verifying these admission requirements.

Students with started bachelor's degree abroad
For the students who have started a bachelor's degree in a foreign country (not completed) and want to continue their studies in the university, the way to apply is different depending on the number of credits susceptible to be validated for the school where they want to do the transfer:

Students who can validate at least 30 ECTS credits must apply for the admission directly in the school of UPC where they want to continue their studies. These students don't need to do the pre-enrolment. They should validate at least 30 ECTS of compulsory subjects from the studies where they want to apply for admission. The specific number of places availables for this way are responsibility of the school. More information in the schools of UPC.
Students who validate fewer than 30 ECTS must do the regular pre-enrolment but applying only to the school that has made them such recognition and they have to submit the certificate validation study issued by this center.
Students who can't validate any credit, can access to the university through the regular pre-enrolment process for students coming from abroad.

Other foreign secondary students

The students who have completed upper secondary school in a foreign country have different ways to apply, depending if they have a residence in Spain, from which country are coming and if this one has an agreement with Spain.
