We are a young university, officially recognised by the Parliament of Catalonia in May 1997. We want to play a part in Europe and the wider world building on our strong Catalan roots. From its very beginnings UVic-UCC has promoted academic quality and a humane context for student-centred training. Our teaching programmes offer quality and contact with students, as required for the European High...er Education Area. We also feel a strong commitment to Catalonia - its university system and the language and culture - and regional development, where we contribute to services outside the Barcelona area and promote a sustainable future.
The UVic-UCC is under the authority of the Fundació Universitària Balmes, whose Board of Governors has a majority of representatives from the Vic City Council and the Generalitat of Catalonia. This combined model of independent management and public control guarantees flexible, accountable and efficient government.
Our vocation to public service, as outlined in the founding parliamentary text itself, is reflected in Generalitat financial support and UVic-UCC participation in the general Catalan university enrolment scheme.
The University of Vic - Central University of Catalonia emerged from a regional and citizens’ initiative to continue with a university tradition that goes back to the Middle Ages. UVic-UCC is a public university under private management. It provides a public service in the areas of teaching, research and knowledge transfer in its fields of expertise.
Its mission is to develop knowledge and innovation to serve the region, and it has a distinctive international vocation. It focuses on students and their all-round training, and instils the values of individual creativity, professional rigour and social commitment. The UVic-UCC is closely associated with the local environment and the cultural, social and economic progress of Catalonia.
The University of Vic – Central University of Catalonia is governed by the Balmes University Foundation (in Spanish), whose board is comprised of 3 representatives from the Catalan Government, 16 from municipal bodies, 12 from civil society and associated entities, and 3 representatives of the university itself. This system of public control and private management facilitates an efficient, responsible, flexible model of governance.
The training model (in Spanish) of the UVic-UCC ensures full personal growth and professional development of students, who are accompanied throughout their training so that learning is personalised. Training is organised through the teamwork of teachers and the entire university community.
The UVic considers multilingual training a key aspect for increased mobility of university students and staff, and the study of languages and culture and excellent vehicles for gaining a wider awareness of today’s world. All undergraduate courses include a number of credits in English for professional purposes.
The universal scope of UVic-UCC science and training builds on the present-day reality of Catalan society –with the Catalan language as its shared symbol of identity– and Europe as a unifying force. UVic-UCC considers international exchange programmes and internships abroad to be essential.
The UVic-UCC has an Education Innovation and Training Centre (CIFE) (in Spanish) to promote lifelong learning of university teaching staff, tutorial plans, and the development of innovation to improve teaching quality.
UVic is a local university, committed to the economic and social development of the surrounding region and Catalonia (in Spanish), through its teaching, research and knowledge transfer activity, imbued with a distinctive European and international vocation.
At the UVic-UCC and FUBalmes, which is the owner of the university, ethical behaviour is based on three values: individual commitment, impartiality and scientific truth. The University’s Ethical Code (in Spanish) is comprised of twelve general principles designed to raise people’s awareness of the need for ethical behaviour and of their responsibilities as members of the UVic-UCC community and FUBalmes.
