Welcome to the project of your life. UIC Barcelona is the ideal place for carrying it out. Since 1997, we have been developing people based on academic rigor, university life, and enriching life experiences.
Christian humanism inspires us to search for truth and to develop each project thoroughly. We provide the opportunity to study in one of the world's most vibrant cities, part of our identity.
We are a prestigious university and home to over 6,000 students. Here you will find 14-degree programs, eight dual-degree international programs, and a wide range of master's and postgraduate degrees, in addition to continuing education courses in the field of your choice.
We place each student at the center and turn them into the key players at UIC Barcelona. That is our commitment to them. To you. We respond by providing individual attention, small class sizes, a close relationship with the teaching body, support services, and everything you need to maximize your skills.
Each university is different. We do things that set us apart: personal attention, a comprehensive approach to each student, continuous links to the professional world, and innovative teaching and research methods. We have signed agreements with over 50 companies and institutions, which trust in the centers, chairs, and institutes at UIC Barcelona.
We are connected to society and companies. Our teaching is practical. It is imparted by teachers who are also active professionals and is complemented by a work placement program that will help give you your first work experience. As a result, UIC Barcelona has the best graduate employment rate in the Catalan university system year after year.
In addition to knowledge, research, and knowledge transfer, we invest time and effort in learning so that we might change the world. You will see this ambition in the people and activities at UIC Barcelona. It is part of our DNA.
We are committed to you and academic excellence; we have created an environment designed to support teaching professionals and researchers. We promote a culture in which you are responsible for your education. Play an active, collaborative role with cutting-edge tools. Take part in activities and gain autonomy. We implement innovative and effective methods geared towards life in the real world (problem-solving, cooperative learning, independent learning, self-assessment, project-based learning, etc.). We use ICT as part of our teaching approach (online activities, computerized and multimedia support materials, etc.). We systematize our academic activities (tutorials —tutoring models—, classwork, work placement, and ECTS model projects). We promote internationalization: mobility opportunities for students and lecturers and alliances with renowned universities and research centers. We implement ENQA (European Association for Quality Assurance in Higher Education) criteria and guidelines to ensure UIC Barcelona meets the quality standards set out for European higher education institutions.
At our university, we are committed to good quality pioneering teaching at an individual level. We teach people to become skilled professionals with a multidisciplinary perspective, dealing with work-related challenges in a global environment and contributing to a more just world based on greater solidarity.
As rector, my responsibility is to promote the quality of our teaching, research, and transfer of knowledge, so these can be placed at the service of companies and society as a whole. At our university, we adapt to your needs and aspirations, and we would like to accompany you throughout your professional life.
