Global

UIC Barcelona is aware that it must prepare its students for a global world. Our learning model must include tools that foster the capabilities to analyse and respond to intercultural and global issues. We want to provide a global vision to analyse and appreciate different perspectives and visions of the world and respond to the common good and sustainable development. Together with this global vision, which encompasses the local and the international, interdisciplinarity will provide an approach that allows for dialogue between different areas of knowledge. 

Central concepts:

1. Global perspective and international vision
2. Projection and reach
3. Lifelong learning

1. GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE AND INTERNATIONAL VISION 

In an increasingly open and global society, we want our students to have the ability to examine and appreciate different perspectives and visions of the world at a local, national and international level, giving them the skills to interact with any culture or individual. Our learning model must include tools that foster the capability to analyse and respond to intercultural and global themes.

GOALS:

• Boost English and attract more foreign students to all degrees
• Promote an international mentality. 
• Establish joint programmes with other universities. 

2. PROJECTION AND REACH

The collaboration between society and the University is an important factor of our development. UIC Barcelona wants to strengthen links with the environment, approaching different areas in our scope to obtain mutual benefits in the hospital, health, economic, and business sectors. It is also necessary to establish and strengthen alliances to promote the employability of our students, the transfer of knowledge, and patterns of financing and sponsorship.

GOALS:

• Create links and strengthen relations with the professional, social, productive and cultural world, and public administrations of the region.
• Establish international partnerships with top-level universities. 
• Promote job insertion 

3. LIFELONG LEARNING CUSTOMISED PROGRAMMES

The enormous social changes that have taken place in recent years make lifelong learning a necessity for employees, businesses and, ultimately, society. Providing training opportunities is both a great challenge and a necessity. UIC Barcelona wants to offer courses and formats that adapt to the demand for skills and knowledge according to changes in society.  

GOALS:

• Develop postgraduate, master's degrees or continuous and incompany training aimed at professionals, companies and institutions in face-to-face, online or hybrid formats.
• Develop outstanding, modular and flexible training linked to the needs of social change.
