Live in Barcelona

The UB and its surroundings

The UB is an urban, open and cosmopolitan university like the city of Barcelona, ​​where its diverse campuses are distributed. This means that it acts in the urban environment as a dynamic of its environment, and that it has become a center of cultural activity in the broadest sense.

The University unfolds its campus throughout the urban plot and thus fills in a relationship of interdependence between the institution and the city. This relationship provides an atmosphere of human and cultural animation in certain areas of the city and allows members of the university community to enjoy the services offered by both the city and the University itself.
