Ramon Alemany
Dean of the Faculty of Economics and Business
University of Barcelona

The University of Barcelona’s Faculty of Economics and Business is a leading
centre in southern Europe for teaching economics, business, sociology and
statistics. It was the first faculty to train economists in Catalonia, and combines
the historical tradition of the UB with its strong commitment to modernity and
internationalisation in recent years.

The UB is the national leader in the main international league tables. The Facul-
ty makes an important contribution to maintaining this position. More specifica-
lly, our university is the top university in the country in rankings such as the QS
World University Rankings and the Academic Ranking for World Universities.

This position was obtained because of the quality of the courses on offer and the
quality of the research. The UB School of Economics, the UB Business School
and the UB School of Sociology bring together research and international
postgraduate studies in economics, business and sociology. The Faculty has an
important number of groups recognised as established research groups in their
field by the Government of Catalonia, with hundreds of active researchers.

The Faculty offers a wide range of quality postgraduate courses for the academic
year 2021-2022. These include both university master’s degrees and Executive
Education (UB-specific master’s degrees and postgraduate courses). Situated on
the Barcelona Knowledge Campus (BKC) at Pedralbes, a campus of internatio-
nal excellence, the Faculty of Economics and Business offers the opportunity to
receive excellent training, provided by academics who are experts in their fields.
A wide range of university services are available to students, such as the chance
to undertake professional placements.
