University of Barcelona

[EduCativ]

The University of Barcelona is the most formidable public institution of higher education in Catalonia, catering to the most significant number of students' needs and delivering the broadest and most comprehensive offering in higher educational courses. The UB is also the principal center of university research in Spain. It has become a European benchmark for research activity, both in terms of the number of research programs it conducts and its excellence.
Its history is closely tied to the history of Barcelona. Of Catalonia, our University combines the values of tradition with its position as an institution dedicated to innovation and teaching excellence: a university that is as outward-looking and cosmopolitan as the city from which it takes its name.
The University of Barcelona offers prospective students a wide range of course offerings tailored to their needs and society's needs in general, thus placing the University at the head of academic fields in very different degree areas, from technology on the one hand to art on the other.
By course type, the UB's offerings mainly comprise EHEA bachelor's degree courses, university master's degree courses, and doctoral programs. But given the rising importance of lifelong learning in modern society, the University has also consolidated one of the broadest and most multidisciplinary offerings in such courses in all Catalonia.
Finally, the UB also attempts to prioritize those aspects of student life which may not be exclusively related to studies, to facilitate its members' access to information and services of every type, and to support and promote those members' organization of and participation in cultural, sporting and advocacy initiatives of all kinds. The University of Barcelona employs a team of professionals made up of 4,715 teachers and researchers and 2,177 administrative and service staff members.
The University of Barcelona encompasses a series of foundations with which it has developed strong social connections due to its historical and traditional link with our institution. The following are essentially non-profit educational entities that dedicate their resources to promoting student grants and assistance.
