Universitat Oberta de Catalunya

Mission

The Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (Open University of Catalonia) is an institution which has emerged from the knowledge society. Our mission is to provide people with training throughout their lives. The university's principal aim is to ensure that each student satisfies his/her learning needs, gaining the maximum benefit from their own efforts.

To this end, we offer intensive use of information and communications technologies (ICT), thereby enabling us to overcome the barriers imposed by time and space and to offer an educational model based on personalized attention for each individual student. At the UOC, students, professors and administrators interact and co-operate on our Virtual Campus, constituting a university community which uses the Internet to create, structure, share and disseminate knowledge.

At the UOC, our aim is to develop people's creativity and contribute to the progress of society, promoting specialized research centred on the knowledge society and establishing alliances with universities and institutions worldwide who share our objectives and values and our desire to build a global knowledge space.
