EXEMPTIONS AND DISCOUNTS ON FEES MATER’S DEGREES

Situations that allow you to enjoy a discount on or a grant towards the official registration fees.

New and continuing students can enjoy a discount provided that they meet the requirements established in the regulations in force and they accredit this with the corresponding documentation in the cases in which it is necessary to submit the same.

These financial regulations governing registration will apply provided nothing is specified to the contrary in the decree on public prices of the Generalitat (Government) of Catalonia or in other legal regulations.

Important: to be able to enjoy these exemptions and bonuses, you must have the condition and the documentation in force at the beginning of the academic year or the date of registration.

Consult the supporting documents below:

Large family status (category 1) and special family status (category 2 or category of honour)

To what discount are you entitled?

The general large family card applies a 50% discount to the subjects and to the academic record handling fee. The support fee for learning, the compulsory insurance and contracted services must be paid in full.

The special large family card gives the right to free subjects and a free academic record handling fee. The support fee for learning, the compulsory insurance and contracted services must be paid in full.

 

Documentation

Only those students from UdL-affiliated centres need to accredit this condition, and they must submit:

- Original and copy or autenticated copy of the large family document or certificate (students registering for the first time or fave to submit degree renewal).

The exemption only applies to subjects and the transcript academic record management fee; students must therefore pay, in full, the support fee for learning, the compulsory insurance and contracted services.

Grantholder student

To what discount are you entitled?

The deduction only affects subjects on which you register for the first time; therefore, the academic record handling fee, the support fee for learning, the compulsory insurance and contracted services must be paid.

Students receiving a general grant convened by the Ministry of Education are not obliged to pay the academic services contracted.

This payment exception also applies to students pending the decision on the awarding of the grant at the time of registration provided that the requirements are met.

Students who enroll in the first year of a university master's degree without having obtained a degree, as indicated in article 18.4 of Royal Decree 822/2021, of 28 September, which establishes the organization of the university educations and of the procedure of assurance of the quality (BOE of 29 of September of 2021), can obtain scholarship as long as they accredit that they are in possession of the referred degree qualification to 31 of December of 2024.

You must bear in mind that:

If a grant is not awarded, students must pay the respective registration amount. If this payment is not made, the provisions of Article 5.2 these regulations shall be applied.

The filing or filing of any appeal against the denial of the scholarship does not paralyze or suspend the obligation to make the financial settlement effective, as it is considered that the requirements for free registration are not met.
