Degree in physics and maths again requires highest entry score in Catalonia

The double degree in Physics and Maths once again tops the list of programs with the highest entry requirements.

To enroll in this program at the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB), students need a score of 13.370 out of 14, while at the University of Barcelona (UB), the cut-off is 13.170.

The high demand for these degrees is largely due to their limited availability, only 20 seats at each university, and they consistently rank at the top year after year.

Among programs offering 40 or more seats, the one with the highest required score is the degree in Aerospace Technology Engineering combined with a Master’s in Aeronautical Engineering at UPC, which requires a score of 12.936 and offers 60 spots.

Next in line is Medicine at UB’s Clínic Campus, with a cut-off score of 12.850 for 200 seats.
