This reflects the ideal at the heart of UCAM’s mission: each and every student gives us a reason to continue to strive for excellence.

LEARNING IN ACTION

UCAM empowers students to develop their skills and abilities tailored to their professional profiles. UCAM’s campus combines first-rate infrastructure with well-equipped laboratories and research facilities, which enable students to put their newly acquired knowledge into practice. All students are able to gain hands-on work experience in public or private institutions, where they can get a feel for their future field of expertise. Moreover, UCAM supports more than 50 research teams working in close collaboration with companies such as Coca Cola, Danone, LFP, Santander, Repsol or Vodafone.
