La Salle – Universitat Ramon Llull begins the 2026-27 academic year with almost 900 new undergraduate students, 37% of whom are international, as well as new developments across several undergraduate and master’s programmes to continue preparing professionals to address the challenges of a digital and global society. In this context, the campus is evolving its brand and strengthening the pillars of its educational project: transdisciplinarity, future-proof learning and technological humanism.
This academic year also continues the celebration of several anniversaries and key milestones, including Barcelona 2026 World Capital of Architecture, the 60th anniversary of the School of Engineering and the 25th anniversary of La Salle Technova Barcelona, La Salle – Universitat Ramon Llull’s innovation park.
The new academic year also introduces this year’s educational theme: ‘Building a More Fraternal World’, a call for active and collective action that places fraternity at the cornerstone of students’ holistic education and as a key tool for building a responsible and committed society.
New Bachelor in Applied Mathematics and AI consolidated as a strategic focus
At undergraduate level, one of the main new developments is the launch of the new Bachelor in Applied Mathematics, jointly offered with IQS-URL and designed to provide a solid foundation in mathematics, with a clear focus on computational biology, industrial engineering, artificial intelligence, data science and business management.
In terms of postgraduate education, the academic year begins with two new university master’s degrees in artificial intelligence and one in acoustics, consolidating AI as one of the central pillars of education at the campus, both from a technical perspective and in terms of its ethical and social applications. In this area, Professional & Executive Education is updating and expanding its portfolio of courses and microcredentials that integrate AI into different disciplines and sectors, including healthcare, cybersecurity, Project Management, marketing and communication, among others.
Welcome Week, the first contact with the campus for new undergraduate students
From September 2 to 4, first-year undergraduate students take part in Welcome Week, their first opportunity to get to know the campus through activities that bring them together with their classmates, faculty and the campus facilities, alongside an introduction to classrooms and laboratories. During these first few days, students also discover the organisations and clubs that enrich campus life through activities, cultural events, celebrations and festivities.
