Program Description
Due to the current situation regarding COVID-19, UVic-UCC has been compelled to cancel the Study Abroad program "Business, Design and Innovation" scheduled for Fall 2020. Health and safety of our community is a top priority for our institution. However, all UVic-UCC programs scheduled for Spring 2021 (starting on January 2021) are continuing to run as normal and are open for applications.
For international students who wish to spend one or two semesters in Barcelona, the University of Vic - Central University of Catalonia offers elective courses in the fields of business, design, and innovation. On completion, students receive a UVic-UCC certificate with academic credits that their home university may recognize. These courses are strongly oriented towards practice but they also cover the basic theory needed to work on real case studies. Professionals from the world of business and design are invited to some of the course sessions.
The program includes a variety of courses (a minimum of four) from which students can choose to design their own pathway.
Aimed at
The Study Abroad Program Business, Design & Innovation is aimed at undergraduate students or university graduates who wish to spend 15 weeks in Barcelona getting an insight into innovative business projects in the European Capital of Design.
