ESCI-UPF Student Enrolment

Through the ESCI-UPF Intranet, you will have access to all the information relating to the enrolment process during the period established by the University.

The most relevant information is outlined below:

Enrolment Deadlines

Ordinary enrolment: Complete your self-enrolment through SIGMA within the dates established by ESCI-UPF. Please note that enrolment appointments are allocated according to academic record ranking, based on grades published up to the ordinary assessment period of the third trimester (excluding resit examination results).
Extraordinary enrolment: Submit a request through the Sigma Academic Procedures module before the deadline established by ESCI-UPF. Please refer to the academic calendar for the relevant academic year. The enrolment will be processed by Academic Management and will incur an additional charge* on the tuition fee, depending on the number of credits enrolled outside the ordinary enrolment period.

*Up to 12 ECTS credits: €65; 12.5 to 20 ECTS credits: €105; 20.5 to 40 ECTS credits: €210; more than 40.5 ECTS credits: €320

Payment Deadlines and Methods

You must choose one of the following three payment options:

100% of the enrolment fee paid during the enrolment period.
50% of the enrollment fee is paid during the enrollment period; the remaining 50% will be paid between 1 and 10 February of the following year.
Payment in 10 instalments: The first instalment (28% of the total enrolment fee) must be paid by credit/debit card (online payment) or bank receipt at the time of enrolment. The remaining 72% will be paid in 9 monthly instalments from September to May, by direct debit (SEPA mandate required). An additional charge of €200 will be applied as interest.

The first instalment must be paid by credit/debit card (online payment) or bank receipt.

If paying by bank receipt (abonaré):

Once your enrolment has been validated, download/print the bank receipt for the first instalment and complete the payment using one of the following options:

In person: At a CaixaBank ATM using any bank card (please check the credit/debit limit on your card).
Online: Via the following CaixaBank link, whether or not you are a customer. Or through Banco Santander, if you are a customer.

If you are making an online payment, you may use any bank card (please check your credit/debit limit).

If you choose the instalment plan with surcharge, you will need to complete the SEPA Mandate to set up a direct debit for the September–May instalments. Payments will be charged on the 15th of each month. Any returned payment will incur a €50 surcharge. In case of a change of bank account, a new SEPA Mandate must be completed, and the change must be requested through the Economic Management Office before the end of the previous month.

Bank receipts and the second card payment have a set expiry date, depending on the chosen payment schedule. Once the deadline has passed, they become invalid. To resolve this, you'll need to contact the Economic Management Office to have them reissued.

Official Decree on Tuition Fees

Grants and Discounts

ESCI-UPF awards grants based on students’ academic performance and applicants' financial circumstances. To this end, a Grants Committee has been established to assess these criteria and determine the allocation and amount of each grant.

Suppose you are eligible for any discount on the official public enrollment fees. In that case, you must submit the relevant documentation — valid as of the start date of the academic year — by opening the corresponding procedure in SIGMA before 15 July, or submit the renewal if your documentation expired. Alternatively, you may submit it by no later than the official start of the academic year in September. In this latter case, the discount will be applied to the February instalment.
