UOC Alumni is the initiative that aims to bring together and provide services to the University’s graduate community. Its mission is to aid access to open, adaptable, flexible and continuous education.

It acts as the catalyst for relations and communication, creating and strengthening the links between the UOC and its graduates; wherever they may be, whatever they may do professionally or socially.

The UOC graduate community now accounts for 22,500 people in 60 countries. Almost 6% of our graduates have taken more than one official course at the UOC and nearly 25% of our graduates continue to study.

You, as graduates, have shown that you are capable of overcoming obstacles, showing discipline and acquiring knowledge, and you are a reflection of the growing importance of ICTs, e-learning and the knowledge society. Joining UOC Alumni means maintaining the university spirit and forming part of a project that sees learning as a lifelong activity, an activity that affects your personal, professional and social life.
