We are glad to inform you that registration to our summer academic program 2020 Barcelona
International SummerSchool (BISS) will open on February 10, 2020. The 2019
edition was a success, hosting over 270 students from 23 different countries.
Now, we have enlarged and renovated the academic
offerings and the catalogue for 2020 is available on the website. Students can choose
among 33 courses taught in English or Spanish. We have enlarged the disciplines
and themes covered and this year courses delve into Social Movements, Law,
Urban Studies, Environment, History, Gender Politics, Journalism, Humanities,
Transmedia, Neurosciences, Artificial Intelligence, Migration, Quantum
Mechanics, or Digital Marketing, among others. They are all designed to be
innovative both in content and methodology, having an applied component with
workshops, activities, visits, laboratory work or in situ
interpretation, which enables learning beyond the classroom.
The schedules and
calendars (during the month of July) are
based on modules, so that students have the flexibility to combine courses of
4, 2 or 1 week at the heart of Barcelona, in our Ciutadella Campus, creating a
vibrant and motivating environment for participating students who are looking
for an intellectually challenging summer experience.
You can consult the website for updated
information and share the promotional video which explains the experience of both professors
and students.
Please be reminded that students
coming from a UPF international partner university will be waived the non-refundable
registration fee.
Best regards from Barcelona,
Sara López Selga
Director of International Relations
