Student services
Student Services is the office at UIC Barcelona that provides support to students. We are responsible for informing and advising students on issues regarding formalities and extracurricular matters.
We also encourage better links between the student body and university by integrating the students into the university system: providing information on housing and managing student IDs. In addition to this, we promote culture, sports and volunteering as tools for acquiring values and competences.
Housing services
If you require accommodation during your time at the university, you may choose from student residencies, apartments and rooms that have been especially designed for your needs. The accommodation options are not associated with UIC Barcelona and must be arranged independently: prices, number of places, hours, services, admission, activities, etc.
Sports facilities
The main aim of the Sports Service is to promote, encourage and organise, among members of the UIC Barcelona university community, sporting activities that help students' personal development through the values promoted by sport.
Accreditation
As of the 2008-2009 academic year, the University made all study programmes compliant with the regulations established by the European Higher Education Area (EHEA), effectively imparting all bachelor and diploma courses as formal degree programmes, and gradually phasing out prior courses of study.

How Students Rated This University

- Student Diversity 4.1
- Admission Process 4.3
- Quality of Student Life 4.0
ADE Course
Classes are good, I would try to make them more interactive and with more practices in class. Professors normally are good, in the english course I believe the english of the teachers could be better specially if the course is taught in that language. I also believe professors could interact more with their students and try to get in contact with students they see may be struggling. Otherwise the campus, although a bit small is fine, really nice, the library could be a little bigger.
One of the main institutions in the area
UIC Barcelona is one of the main institutions in the area, with trained and updated staff. The classes are informative, educational and easy to follow. The staff's industry knowledge is extensive, making them an excellent choice for anyone interested in continuing their education in Barcelona. I recommend it without reservation.
developing my accounting skills
It all began during my first year at university when I took my first course in economic statistics. This sparked my initial interest in administration and accounting. In my second year, after taking another course related to economics, I realized that I needed to dive deeper into the world of administration and finance. That’s why I decided to enroll in the advanced vocational training program in this field. Now that I’m nearing completion, I am eager to apply everything I have learned to the professional world, combining it with statistical models to add even more value.
