The recommended bibliography for teaching guides is the list of documents that teachers recommend to students for each of the subjects they teach during the academic year.

By norm, the recommended bibliography of a subject is structured in:

From the libraries of the UPC we normalize the bibliographical citations of the documents that the teaching staff has introduced to the Management System of the Studies and Analysis of the Directive Information of the UPC (PRISMA) and we guarantee, whenever possible, at least a copy of all the books recommended in the teaching guide of the subjects of the current course.

Select your center, the degree and the subject you are studying to see the documents recommended by the teacher.
