UPF has always accepted the challenge of the international scene, which it sees as a key factor for innovation and high quality teaching and research. Our students, the professionals of the future, are prepared to work in an increasingly open and global world.
The bigger presence of UPF students at universities worldwide, the numbers of foreign students coming to UPF, visiting teachers and researchers of the highest calibre, and active participation in international networks and associations, have all consolidated UPF's position as an obligatory point of reference on the international university scene.
