UAB – UNIVERSITAT AUTONOMA DE BARCELONA

The UAB is a public university whose mission from the beginning has been to offer innovative and quality teaching in all areas of knowledge. The UAB is also considered a research university and is heavily involved with activities that generate and transfer knowledge.
By being a campus university, the UAB focuses on offering teaching options with multidisciplinary approaches which can strengthen the contact between different branches of knowledge and be closely linked to research activities.
The UAB is part of one of the most important science and technology poles of southern Europe, and is formed by teaching and research centres, technology parks, empowering businesses, and the Barcelona Synchrotron Park, possibly the most important scientific facility in Spain and the first of its type in southwestern Europe.
The quality in teaching and the results of research conducted at the UAB have been widely recognised by the main international university rankings, in which the UAB is positioned amongst the top 200 universities of the world, is one of the 100 leading universities in Europe and one of the three best universities in Spain. This recognition also shows the high degree of internationalisation of our university, which translates into a growing capacity to attract talent to our academic programmes and competitive research activities.
