The city of Barcelona

The international reputation of Barcelona, the capital of Catalonia, has encouraged links with cities all around the world. Barcelona is a friendly Mediterranean city, with over 2,000 years of history. Its commercial, manufacturing and creative talent has given the city a dynamic, modern atmosphere.

A strong commitment to knowledge creation, economic activity and sustainability make Barcelona an ideal gateway to southern Europe and the Mediterranean. The cosmopolitan character of the city and its capacity to attract international talent, fostering business development and entrepreneurial initiatives, with cutting-edge research, keep the city at the forefront of innovation and competition in a globalised world.

UVic-UCC offers design and business courses in Barcelona and has an office in the very heart of the city that acts as a student support service.
