The fair will open from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday 26, Thursday 27 and Friday 28. On Saturday 29 March the fair will be open from 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. And on Sunday 30 March it will be open fromo 9:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. The UAB informers will be using tablets, leaflets and bookmarks with QR codes to reduce the use of paper as much as possible in a stand that aims to be sustainable, user-friendly and ergonomic.

The fair will focus on information about the bachelor's degrees offered and the services and singularities of the UAB campus. The campus is set in an interdisciplinary and internationalised environment where you can participate in a wide range of cultural and community activities to make your time at the university a great and enriching experience. Regarding the academic offer of master's degrees and other postgraduate courses, the UAB organizes virtual fairs to inform about the available master's, postgraduate and PhD programmes.

In addition, the Catalan Foundation for Research and Innovation organises the Espai Ciència, where visitors will be able to participate in a multitude of scientific workshops and demonstrations. Lecturers from the UAB will lead various informative activities within the Espai Ciència.

New double degree

In the 2025/26 academic year, the UAB will be offering a new double degree in Economics + Computational Mathematics and Data Analytics. This joint degree provides comprehensive training needed to take on and solve real economic problems such as how the financial market works, income distribution, poverty in the world, and the sustainability of existing economic growth models. It combines knowledge on current economic phenomena with advanced mathematical modelling and programming: the student will learn to use advanced mathematical and computational tools and create new algorithms to identify patterns and make simulations and predictions that provide real and measurable value.

This double degree will be taught at the Faculty of Economics and Business Studies and the Faculty of Science of the UAB based on the combination of two existing degrees. Twenty places will be offered and the degree will last five years (348 ECTS credits). Career opportunities include positions in the financial and banking sector, public administration, official data generation and management bodies, European institutions and agencies, and national and international regulatory bodies. It is focused, therefore, on training versatile professionals for both traditional sectors, such as consulting and finance, and emerging areas, such as data science, artificial intelligence and advanced economic research.
