Limited Places

The UIC Barcelona Bachelor’s degree in Humanities aims to provide a solution to the demand that exists in many sectors of our society for people with a high level of knowledge in the area of humanities. The knowledge and tools that humanities studies acquire are increasingly considered to be some of the essential elements of decision-making in positions that require social and cultural responsibility. Humanities studies and the structural education they receive means they are prepared and qualified to adapt to professional requirements in a society that is becoming more dynamic and complex.

Double degrees

We offer the possibility of obtaining two degrees over a 5 year period:

  • Humanities + ADE (Business Administration and Management)
  • Humanities + Law
  • Humanities + Journalism
  • Humanities + Primary Education

Objectives

The Bachelor's Degree in Humanities and Cultural Studies will:

  1. Tackle the need to cultivate and research the “theoretical dimension” of culture, through a programme which analyses the actual reality of the phenomenon in order to understand it, create it and apply it at the most diverse levels possible, particularly at an intercultural level.
  2. Provide creative and innovative responses to the demands and social challenges that exist in this field. Cultivating this is a fundamental factor today in terms of applying and setting out good cultural policies in the area of public administration and public and private institutions, industries, commercial sectors, etc.
  3. Provide a response to the various perspectives it involves leads to the appearance of few potential forms of employment today. Barcelona is currently one of Europe's most active "generators of culture". As a result, the general area (Barcelona/Catalonia) boasts ideal socioeconomic characteristics.
  4. Ensure that humanities studies are better nurtured, understood, valued and applied not only in society in general, but also by current and future employers.
  5. Prepare highly qualified professionals for the culture and intercultural relations sector.

“Humanities and Cultural Studies” graduates can complete their “cultural” training through the University Master’s degree in Cultural Management.
