The CDSJD has formalized its withdrawal from the University of Barcelona for all academic and administrative purposes, and this entails the cancellation and discontinuation of the Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing, effective from the 2025-2026 academic year.

The degree will be phased out gradually, year by year, starting in the 2025–2026 academic year, from which point no new students will be able to enroll in this program at the University of Barcelona.

In any case, students will have the right to sit for exams in the two academic years following the start of the progressive phase-out, in accordance with the phase-out schedule. For these purposes, a tutoring program will be established so that students can receive the necessary guidance on the contents of the courses for which instruction has ceased but that have not yet been approved, and this will continue until all relevant exam opportunities have been exhausted.

The phasing-out schedule for the Bachelor of Nursing degree is as follows:

If at any time before the deadlines in the agreed-upon calendar, no student remains affiliated with UB, the center’s phased withdrawal process will be considered complete, regardless of the deadlines set in the calendar.
