A University Certificate Programme for professionals with a clear vocation and interest for the international and intercultural dimension of Education.
The programme is taught online, with an intensive in-site week with inspiring visits to different educational institutions.
This course also shows and confirms the diversity of professional fields linked to the internationalization of education.
The University Certificate Programme in Internationalization and Intercultural Education (TEU/UCP-IIE) focuses on the international and intercultural dimensions of Education:
We all live in a connected world and in constant dialogue. The teachers from Blanquerna understand linguistic and cultural diversity as an intrinsic characteristic of society, and know that it is beneficial for learning. They are aware of their plurilingual identity (understood as plural and integrative). They are teachers who have linguistic common sense: who know how and when to use the languages they know, to communicate in diverse environments, who have linguistic empathy towards languages and linguistic experiences and who know how to grasp linguistic learning opportunities . And they are teachers who do not perceive borders, but, instead, they are committed to opening learning opportunities beyond the immediate context. EduHuB: Dimension- Plurilingual teachers, and Open to the World FPCEE Blanquerna, University Ramon Llull
This international dimension enriches the profile of education professionals who are sensitive to cultural diversity, capable of establishing international educational networks, who have positive attitudes towards interculturality and plurilingualism and who are eager to explore new international and global educational proposals.
The new TEU/UCP-IIE allows students from all over the world to live a full international educational experience, as the teaching will be mainly in English (a common learning language which is, at the same time, the facilitator of multiple opportunities and plurilingual contexts).
The programme also includes visits to different institutions in order to have models of proven practices and opportunities to integrate the theoretical and practical aspects of the course.
The competences that are covered in this programme connect with the international education reality, with the schools’ language projects, with international mobility programmes, with internationalization-at-home and with the organizations that have, as the backbones for their visions, missions and values, the intercultural education, the wealth of a shared knowledge and the mutual understanding and respect between people and cultures.
In order to access and be admitted to the course, you must be in possession of a university degree (or diploma/degree) linked to the field of Educational Sciences.
Since the course will be taught mostly in English, you will need to have a minimum level of B2 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.
Module 1. Theoretical foundations for internationalisation and intercultural education (1.5 ECTS)
Module 2. Education in Europe and in the world: educational ecosystems in the 21st century (1.5 ECTS)
Module 3. Plurilingual educational contexts: challenges and opportunities for children’s and youth languages and cultures (2 ECTS)
Module 4. Internationalisation in schools: language projects, mobility programs and internationalisation-at-home. (3 ECTS)

Module 6. Proven practices in internationalisation and intercultural education (4 ECTS)
The University Certificate Programme in Internationalization and Intercultural Education (TEU/UCP-IIE) guarantees that educational professionals can deepen into a diversity of areas linked to internationalization, plurilingualism and open attitudes. They are all critical competences for 21st century educational institutions.
Some of the specific areas are:
If you need a quiet space to study or to do individual and group work, come to the library! Each school has its own library with computers, workrooms, reading points and an extensive catalog of documents you can consult in both hard copy and digital format.
If you have a job or just need a computer, you can go to the computer classrooms or workspaces and use the Macs we have at your disposal.
The chapel is the right place to find recollection, peace, to focus, to pray and to celebrate the Eucharist weekly and at important liturgical moments (Christmas, Ash Wednesday and Easter). The sacrament of reconciliation is also celebrated.
The Academic Secretaries of the Blanquerna faculties are the space for students to relate to the processes linked to the registration of official and own courses.
Would you like to receive information on pre-registration and admissions processes, scholarships and grants or validations? The SIOE is the service you need. Ask for all the information about any of these processes and discover all the possibilities at your fingertips.

Going abroad is a unique opportunity to discover the plurality of the world. Aware of the importance of the internationalization of studies, we have established mobility agreements around the world.
This service provides graduates with the necessary means so that they can actively participate in their professionalism and propose optimal candidates to organizations and companies looking for staff.
The leap into the world of work is always a challenge. For this reason, we provide a Job Bank for students and graduates. This service puts students in touch with companies and institutions looking for staff.

Living in Barcelona is a unique experience and, even more so, in a university residence. Blanquerna has agreements for URL students who want to live in any of the residences within their reach.
In the three Blanquerna faculties, you will find spaces for reflection isolated from the hustle and bustle dedicated to the celebration of the Faith or cultural and religious animation. If you wish, you can also receive personalized attention and information about church life.
At Blanquerna we promote personal development at all levels to people with a diversity of specific needs from a normalizing context that encourages personal autonomy and uniqueness.
If you like music and want to take part in the concerts of institutional events and festivities, sign up for the Blanquerna Choir. There you will meet new friends and enjoy music.
Each class group must elect a representative to put forward concerns or make proposals to the faculty members and academic management. At the same time, each degree must appoint a delegate and each school a representative on the general URL council.
Contact between students and the university is constant and is channeled through the Student Council, the body that collects proposals and requests from students and facilitates university life.

For each edition, there will be different specialist external professionals.
The admission process for the school's own degree studies is developed in 3 stages:
Students can pre-enroll online (by accessing Pre-enrollment | Blanquerna or the pre-enrollment option for each course) and also in person at the school.
For online pre-enrollment, you will need to:
Once pre-enrollment has been completed, the candidate will be offered a date for an interview with the degree coordinator, who will assess their suitability and solve any doubts they may have about the course for which they are enrolling. Once the assessment is complete, the student will be informed of the result of the interview and how to enroll, if admitted.
Prior to enrollment, the person concerned must upload the qualifications or the receipt of the university studies completed to the document repository. If these documents are not available, the course may be taken but the qualifications will not be received and, instead, a university extension certificate or diploma will be obtained.
Once the above documentation has been assessed, and when there is a large enough group of pre-enrolled students, each candidate will receive the confirmation and information necessary to enroll. Enrollment implies obtaining a definitive place and will take effect within the deadlines indicated in the confirmation e-mail.
When students enroll, they will have two business days to pay the total cost of enrollment, by bank transfer, credit card or barcode. Studies can be paid in installments, without any interest, by bank transfer (Instructions to send the signed SEPA Document to Blanquerna)
Prices may be updated each academic year. Once enrollment has been formalized, the amount paid will not be refunded under any circumstances. Pre-enrollment and enrollment may remain open up to 15 days before the start of the course, provided places are available.
When a student enrolls, a contract for the provision of teaching services is formalized between the student and the Blanquerna Foundation, which is legally binding from the time of payment. Payment includes the corresponding insurance and, for students under the age of twenty-eight, compulsory academic insurance. If a student declines to take up a place, he/she will lose in full any amount he/she has paid.
The student accepts the rules for the use of computer services established by the Blanquerna Foundation. The student's personal data will be included in an automated file under the responsibility of the Blanquerna Foundation, so that this contract can be maintained and fulfilled. Students should note that their data may also be used to inform them about the future activities of the Foundation, or for the institution to send them publications.
In accordance with the provisions of Organic Law 15/1999 on the protection of personal data, students have the right to access their data to update, rectify or cancel them, or object to their use, by sending a letter, indicating which right they want to exercise.
This section is a summary of the general conditions for enrollment. It is only for guidance and therefore has no contractual value. In the event of any discrepancy, the provisions of the general conditions for enrollment specified in the receipt generated at the time of enrollment will prevail; this receipt formalizes the contract between the student and the Blanquerna Foundation; students can consult it on the intranet whenever they wish.
The School cannot guarantee that a course will be available if the requirement for a minimum number of enrollments is not met. In this case, the amount paid for enrollment and pre-enrollment will be refunded in full.
Applicants who have completed access studies outside Spain must obtain a certificate issued by the relevant body (university, embassy, consulate) confirming that the studies qualify the student in the country of issue to take the master degree or graduate studies.
Students are responsible for having all the official documentation necessary for their stay in Spain while studying at the School. Applicants can ask for a pre-acceptance document attached to the pre-enrollment receipt to initiate applications for visas or scholarships or carry out any other administrative procedure. Under no circumstances does this document guarantee a place if all the access and admission requirements are not met. Once applicants have been accepted and enrollment is complete, they can request a letter of admission from the Academic Secretary, if required, by paying the corresponding fees.
For any doubts or queries about the pre-enrollment or enrollment process, please contact the School's Student Information and Orientation Service

Financing: the amount can be paid in installments according to the following payment plan
