Meet Blanquerna

Welcome from the general director

Et dono la benvinguda a Blanquerna, una fundació universitària d’iniciativa social sense ànim de lucre amb una base sòlida de tradició humanista i cristiana, d’alta qualitat acadèmica, docent i de recerca, així com de transferència de coneixement a la societat que volem continuar servint. Una fundació impulsora i cofundadora de la Universitat Ramon Llull, la primera universitat privada de Catalunya.

El que et proposem a Blanquerna és iniciar un recorregut plegats on el “ser” i el “saber”, tan inspiradors i presents en l’obra de Ramon Llull, marquin el camí. “Ser” i desenvolupar-nos com a persones íntegres, humanament completes, genuïnes i honestes. “Saber” com a horitzó de coneixement per arribar a ser excel·lents professionals, altament competents, amb capacitat crítica, pensament complex i capaços de relacionar els problemes que afecten la humanitat amb possibles solucions o alternatives.

A la Facultat de Psicologia, Ciències de l’Educació i l’Esport, a la de Comunicació i Relacions Internacionals i a la de Ciències de la Salut, hi trobaràs les persones i els coneixements per fer aquest camí de creixement integral, expertesa professional i saviesa al qual tots estem cridats. Volem acompanyar-t’hi i sabem com fer-ho.

Hem arribat fins aquí com a fruit d’una història col·lectiva fecunda en què l’excel·lència global en docència, recerca, transferència i ocupabilitat és la clau i visió de l’ensenyament universitari al qual servim des de fa ja més de 75 anys.
