Why choose to study at the Experience Campus?

An increasing number of healthy and active individuals are reaching retirement with many plans and projects they wish to undertake. Society needs to harness their energy, talent and experience.

In this sense, people reaching retirement need to remain active and set themselves goals, maintain and increase their network of personal relationships, and embark upon new projects. It is a very fitting time to be offered this opportunity to go to university.

UIC Barcelona is launching the fourth cycle of this programme from the Experience Campus aimed at this collective, following methodology from the most advanced universities in this field. It applies academic rigour, personalised support, varied subjects that appeal to personal interests and a methodology that encourages participation and provides tools in psychological and instrumental fields that help participants to remain active.

The Experience Campus fosters an environment that encourages enthusiasm, and offers integration into the university community and research groups, as well as participation in all kinds of activities.

The Open Day is aimed at people who are approaching or have reached retirement, but also anyone else who is interested, such as heads of people management departments, organisations that work with older people, family members, etc.
