NEXUS BQN
What is NEXUS BQN?
NEXUS BQN transforms the way students learn at the university. Students work through real or simulated situations that connect the knowledge and skills they develop with their academic studies and the professional and social challenges of today’s world. This learning methodology is based on a simple yet powerful idea: learning is more meaningful when knowledge is built in connection with other disciplines, within real-world contexts, and through meaningful challenges that integrate ideas into a coherent whole.

Which competencies are maximized?
With the Blanquerna methodology, students learn and work together in authentic learning ecosystems that mirror the dynamics of the real interprofessional world. This is how they develop and maximize the key competencies, such as:
Communicating ideas that persuade
Thinking critically in the face of complex problems
Creating innovative and creative responses
Developing self-awareness and emotional maturity
Leading transformative initiatives
Making decisions with sound judgment
NEXUS BQN comes to life through activities and dynamics that connect what you learn with real situations, shared challenges and contexts close to the professional world. It's not just a way of organising classes — it's a more active, applied way of learning that's connected to reality.
Studying with NEXUS BQN helps you develop skills that go beyond theoretical knowledge, like teamwork, better communication, sound decision-making, and tackling complex challenges with a more hands-on mindset.
With NEXUS BQN you'll work on the skills the job market really asks for: building solutions as a team, communicating ideas that persuade, thinking critically about complex problems, coming up with innovative answers, gaining self-awareness and emotional maturity, leading transformative initiatives, and making sound decisions. You don't just memorise them — you practise them in real contexts from day one.
NEXUS BQN draws on international approaches that focus on the skills future professionals will need, and on a way of learning that's more closely connected to social and professional reality.
Yes. NEXUS BQN is presented as a cross-cutting pedagogical model at Blanquerna and is part of how learning is understood across the university's different faculties.
