Driving values

People

We are a university for people. We put people at the centre of the activity and develop their talent so that, with effort and improvement, they become the best version of themselves.

Driving values

Truth

We believe in the search for truth and intellectual rigour, which govern the teaching, research and university life of our 8 faculties, 16 business chairs, 4 business classrooms, 5 research institutes and 3 university clinics.

Driving Values

Excellence

The way to excellence is to meet new challenges and better oneself every day. We believe in the continuous improvement and personal and professional development of all members of our university community.

Driving Values

Social Commitment

We drive values even further to impact society: this is our social commitment. We train people to commit to transforming the world and making a better society. We offer an all-round education, based on the spirit of service, solidarity, respect for people and the planet itself.

Jordi Cervós i Navarro had been in Germany for more than forty years as a researcher, professor and vice-rector of the Freie Universität Berlin when the Board proposed he take up the role of rector of a new university to be founded in Barcelona. He accepted the mandate, and with commitment, enthusiasm and without looking back, he forged ahead because he believed in the project.

Sr. Miguel Ángel Cazcarra
President del Patronat de UIC Barcelona

UIC Barcelona is a reality, and a commitment to the future. We want to celebrate that we are now a quarter of a century old, and that no one can stop us in our desire to improve; we are dedicated to constantly working in favour of quality teaching, of excellence in research and in knowledge transfer in order to impact on society.

Dr. Alfonso Méndiz
Rector de UIC Barcelona

We have a wonderful year ahead of us to celebrate. 2 October 2022 is only the beginning of a great celebration, which will continue until June 2023 with the closing of the academic year. It will be a year full of extraordinary activities open to both the university community and their families, and to society in general. It will be a good opportunity to show the world who we are, what we do, how we do it, and where we are going.
