Between the end of January and July, and especially between the months of March and May. The open days of the universities of Barcelona 2026 are held, a key opportunity to get to know first-hand the faculties, degrees and university life.
In addition to the universities of Barcelona, many universities in Catalonia also organise their open days in cities such as Girona, Sant Cugat del Vallès, Manresa, Lleida or Tarragona.
What are open days and what do open days at universities in Barcelona consist of?
The open days of the universities of Barcelona are informative events designed for high school and secondary school students who want to better understand what to study and where to do it. During these open days, universities open their doors to showcase their facilities, explain the available degrees, and answer questions about access to university.
These university open days are also aimed at families, who can accompany future students to find out about how the studies work, tuition fees, or admission processes.
At Unihabit, we believe that attending the open days of the universities of Barcelona is the best way to start answering key questions such as which degree to choose, what university life will be like, or what accommodation options are available during this stage.
At such a decisive moment, taking part in open days is one of the best ways to make an informed decision about one’s academic and personal future.
