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 eight students. The teaching staff, as well as delivering vital academic training, is 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 and necessary feature for the student. 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 materials and people). This in turn allows them to get the most out of their chosen university studies and confront the world of work with confidence.
The UIC organises a wide range of cultural, recreational and sporting activities in an effort to encourage the students' full personal development.
In keeping with its ideals, which are based on Christian Humanism, the UIC provides the whole university community with access to the pastoral care delivered by the Capellania Service, which is entrusted to the prelature of the Opus Dei, an institution belonging to the Catholic Church.
