Credit transfer refers to the process of transferring credits that you have obtained on previous courses at UPF or elsewhere and which have not been used to contribute towards a degree. These credits should feature on your academic record.

Credit recognition refers to the process whereby UPF accepts credits that you have obtained on official courses at UPF or elsewhere. These credits can then contribute towards a degree.

Credit recognition first requires the transfer of credits from successfully completed subjects on previous courses. When applying to have credits recognised, you should provide the following information:

  • Credit transfer and recognition application:

  • Proof of payment of the corresponding credit transfer and recognition fee (as per the Fees table) to the CaixaBank account ES79 2100-3000-13-2201730282, in accordance with the provisions of the decree governing government-set fees for public universities in Catalonia.
