Dean's welcome address
Since our beginnings in 1992, our mission has been to train health professionals who value this people-centred profession, and who stand out for their excellence, ability to innovate and leadership from a humanistic perspective.
In the pedagogical field, the uniqueness of Blanquerna-URL is the personalized methodology, which is achieved with small groups in theoretical and practical sessions, in clinical simulations, in seminars (training spaces guided by an advisor), and through internships in high-level institutions. We have a faculty made up of professors who combine their professional practice with teaching and research, as well as non-teaching staff.
We are committed to interdisciplinary teaching and on this basis students taking the different degree courses do joint academic activities, which prepares them for future teamwork. We are constantly incorporating new knowledge, teaching tools and new projects to continue to grow as a university at the service of people and society.
If you'd like to get to know us, I encourage you to pay us a visit. Experience the School up close!
