Why choose to study at the Experience Campus?

An increasing number of healthy and active individuals are reaching retirement with many plans and projects they wish to undertake. Society must take advantage of their energy, talent and experience.

Retirement-age individuals need to set specific goals and remain active, maintain and increase their personal networks and pursue new projects. It is a very fitting time to be offered this opportunity to go to university.

To cater to these individuals, UIC Barcelona is launching an Experience Campus, which follows the methodology used by the leading universities in this field. It applies academic rigour, personalised support, varied subjects that appeal to personal interests and a methodology that encourages participation and provides tools in psychological and instrumental fields that help participants to remain active.

The Experience Campus fosters an environment that encourages enthusiasm and offers integration into the university community and research groups, as well as participation in all kinds of activities.

The Open Day is aimed at people who are approaching or have reached retirement age, but also anyone else who may be interested, such as people in charge of people management departments, organisations that work with older people, or family members.

The Experience Campus has allowed me to relive my time at university, as it’s been 55 years since I graduated. I’ve also been very impressed at the level of teaching I received and the way the classes are taught.

The Experience Campus has opened up some amazing opportunities to meet new people, new teachers and embark upon a new project, one that would have otherwise been unattainable. It also gives you the chance to create a network of friends that grows into strong friendships that you come to really appreciate, with people you probably would never have met.
