La Salle-URL consolidates its degree training offer with innovative programs and an international focus

​​La Salle Campus Barcelona celebrates its second Open Day of the academic year this January, after the one that took place in November. More than 300 pre-university students attend this session to learn more about the undergraduate programs taught by La Salle-URL and the facilities on the university campus. The directors of the four Schools and Faculties that make up the campus, the coordinators, tutors, professors and other educators accompany the future students and explain the unique character of the degrees at La Salle-URL, of a markedly innovative, transversal and international character.

In the 23-24 academic year, La Salle-URL incorporates into its portfolio the degree in Design and Creation of Interactive Products, a paradigmatic program of the transversal nature of the campus, which includes aspects of multimedia, digital arts and interactive technologies. The degree has an official mention in videogames, one of the sectors with the highest growth and demand for professionals, and will train students with the necessary knowledge to improve the user experience of all types of interactive projects.

Health Engineering and Philosophy, novelties for the 22-23 academic year

In addition, the next course will be the consolidation of the two great innovations of the academic year 22-23: the new programs in Health Engineering and in the field of Philosophy. The new degree in Health Engineering is the first in Spain that combines complete training in engineering, health sciences, management and innovation. Leading entities such as HP and the Sant Joan de Déu Hospital have supported the degree by collaborating with scholarships and organizing activities with students.

On the other hand, the Faculty of Philosophy of La Salle-URL was integrated into the educational and knowledge ecosystem of the campus to strengthen its humanist character. Currently, two degrees are taught at La Salle-URL in the field of Philosophy and the Humanities: the degree in Philosophy and the degree in Philosophy, Politics and Economics.

Architecture, computer science, engineering, business, digital arts and animation: studies to train professionals of the present and the future

This year La Salle-URL celebrates the 20th anniversary of its studies in Management of Business and Technology, characterized by its technological, entrepreneurial and digital focus. Since 2015, La Salle-URL has been training Animation & VFX professionals, highly valued by large companies in the sector. The degree in Digital Arts evolves its academic plan and incorporates a mention in Concept Art, and the degree studies at the School of Architecture of La Salle-URL (ETSALS) continue to grow in students thanks, among other things, to its international focus.

The international aspect is one of the great strengths of computer science studies, which has a degree taught 100% in English, and which is one of the nine degrees in engineering at La Salle-URL. In addition, from the 23-24 academic year, the campus will have the Interactive Arts & Science Laboratory (IASlab), the future multisensory hub in southern Europe, a sustainable space that will study the interaction between the real world and the virtual world, and the one that many of the undergraduate students of La Salle Campus Barcelona will spend every day.
