Location

Barcelona is the capital of Catalonia and has a population of 1.6 million inhabitants (3.2 million inhabitants adding the metropolitan area). Its excellent location on the shores of the Mediterranean, its gentle climate and its open, cosmopolitan character make the Catalan capital an extraordinary place to live.

It is currently recognized as a global city due to its importance in the spheres of culture, finance, business and tourism. Its port is one of the foremost in the Mediterranean and the city is a transport hub between Spain and France.

Harmoniously integrating tradition and modernity, Barcelona combines the architectural evidence of its Roman and Medieval past with both Modernisme (Catalan Art Nouveau) –with Gaudí as the leading exponent of this architectural style– and gems of contemporary architecture such as the Torre Agbar. Its gradual evolution has made it a focal point for architecture lovers.

Barcelona, the Southern Gate to Europe, hosts one of the largest university communities in Europe, made up of 200.000 students and more than 15.000 professors in seven universities offering a wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. Puerto Olímpico

In its 500 years of university life, Barcelona universities have achieved a high international rankings position and most of them have been recognized as Campus of International Excellence (CEI), a distinction that wants to promote Spanish universities in Europe.

In addition, its potential has made it a magnet for new trends from around the world. Design, music, fashion, art and cinema professionals are part and parcel of this dynamic city.

A broad offer in culture, sports, leisure and nature activities rounds out the spectrum of opportunities. A perfect place to combine quality academic activity with a quality social life.

Catalonia is an autonomous community in Spain with a millennial history and a language of its own –Catalan–, which is the official language together with Spanish. With 7.5 million inhabitants, it is a densely populated, highly developed area that leads the Spanish economy and is a benchmark European region as well.

Catalonia is an industrially active and entrepreneurial land that promotes the work ethic as a value inherent to productive capacity. These characteristics, together with quality infrastructures and services, make Catalonia an ideal destination for the business world.

In the university field, Catalonia is a reflection of its society: multidisciplinary, multidimensional, multilingual, where citizens from all over the world share experiences.

The academic offer includes a wide range of educational pathways, which include around 1.000 official university degrees belonging to the different branches of knowledge: Arts and Humanities, Science, Health Sciences, Social and Legal Sciences, and Architecture and Engineering.

Catalonia has been and continues to be a land of immigration, and over the course of history it has been in contact with all the peoples of the Mediterranean. This multiculturalism has made it a dynamic area with a great deal of economic, social and cultural influence.

Moreover, its geographic wealth and diversity make Catalonia a place to enjoy year-round. The Pyrenees, Costa Brava, Barcelona, Montserrat, Ebre Delta and the Plain of Lleida are some of the most emblematic areas, allowing all sorts of leisure, cultural, sports and gastronomic activities.
