UPF is a public university founded in 1990 and called to become one of the leading European universities.

Awarded with a CEI label (International Excellence Campus) by the Spanish Ministry of Education, UPF's indicators have made it a benchmark for the Spanish and European university systems. 

UPF structures its studies on three main fields of knowledge, closely interconnected and structured under three campuses:

• Social sciences and humanities, Ciutadella campus
• Health and life sciences, Mar campus
• Communication and information technologies, Communication-Poblenou campus

 

Moreover, in order to promote research and transfer activities undertaken by university researchers and provide them with greater international visibility, the University is developing the UPF Research Park in the fields of social sciences, humanities, communication and information technologies. The UPF Research Park, which develops its activity at Ciutadella and Poblenou campuses, coordinates its activities in the fields of health and life sciences with the Barcelona Biomedical Research Park, located at Mar campus.
