As you browse around these pages, you can gain access to the information they provide on our academic institution, an institution that has succeeded in consolidating its teaching and research project and in reaping a high yield from the resources allocated to it by society ever since it was first established by the Government of Catalonia in 1990.
The UPF is a university that is committed to public-institution values; it is a city university engaged in the active, dynamic life of the city of Barcelona, and a university that is wide open to the world beyond. Public, city-based, and cosmopolitan: those are the values that identify us as an institution working in the service of society.
