Venue
Universitat Internacional de Catalunya (UIC)
We are delight to welcome you to
the Universitat Internacional de Catalunya (UIC), a public-serving institution which aspires to excellence. The
university's concept of excellence is closely linked to its stated mission (i.e. its guiding principles) and is influenced
by the European social model.
The Universitat Internacional de Catalunya offers you a highly personalised university education with a strong vocational
element.
This high level of personalised treatment is achieved by ensuring that there is: no more than one group per course; a
maximum of 80 students per lecture, and one university professor assigned to every eleven students. The teaching staff, as well
as delivering vital academic training, are also dedicated to providing students with advice and guidance throughout their
studies.
A high proportion (40%) of the teaching programme is set aside for practical-based classes. Most of our teachers have
professional backgrounds and the university nurtures a very
close relationship with business via its work experience
programmes. The aim is to equip the student with all the
knowledge, skills and talents demanded by the market, while also
providing a solid training in the fundamental values of
Christian Humanism.
The international character of the university is a basic feature
and also a necessary one for students. In this respect, 10% of
our alumni are from overseas; students study English courses
which are personalised to meet their academic and professional
requirements and there is an extensive international exchange
programme.
All of these features described above allow students to make the
most of the university's resources (both in terms of material
and human resources). This in turn allows them to get the most
out of their chosen university studies and face the world of
work with confidence.
The UIC organises a wide range of cultural, recreational and
sport activities in an attempt to encourage the full personal
development of students.
In keeping with its ideals, which are based on Christian
Humanism, the UIC provides the whole university community with
access to the pastoral care provided by the Chaplaincy Service,
which is entrusted to the prelature of the Opus
Dei, an institution belonging to the Catholic Church.
This is the commitment the Universitat Internacional de
Catalunya makes to all its students. It is a university where
you can experience your degree in the most intense way possible,
at the highest academic level.

The City of Barcelona
UIC is located in Barcelona, city
that has successfully blended the old and the new in a way that
makes this city simply breathtakingly beautiful. There is
nothing more enjoyable than strolling around the streets of
Barcelona and taking in the atmosphere that radiates out from
the architecture. Bold, brash, colorful, distinctive,
harmonious, varied and unique are just a few adjectives that
come to mind when describing Barcelona architecture. Traditional
Catalan Gothic architecture such as the “Església del Pi” church
is reserved and stoic in its design, but just a 5 minutes’ walk
away we have the Barcelona Cathedral with is beautiful arches
and facade. A short metro ride we have the famous “Sagrada
Familia” Basilica which towers into the sky and has different
architectural styles on all four sides of the building.
Our city will make a great location
for an interesting and productive conference, and we look
forward to welcoming you!
