A federation of university institutes
The success of the URL, which is formed by 11 prestigious federated institutions with a long tradition in higher education in Catalonia, lies in the quality of teaching -based in the strengthening of the aptitudes of the person-, the reduced working groups and the close relationship between the students and the teaching staff.
To achieve this, the URL has in its centres the best and most modern equipment and has signed agreements with more than 4.000 companies from different sectors in order that the students can carry out professional training. In the same way, the centres offer all necessary infrastructures to complement the education of the students: libraries, laboratories, languages services, computer rooms and audio-visual and multimedia classrooms, among others.
