Our journey

The UOC began its journey in the 1995/1996 academic year with a pioneering vision: to rethink how technology could become a key ally in offering a meaningful and relevant learning model.

Born in Catalonia, present worldwide

Our open, accessible community has grown over the years into a leading institution in the digital and educational spheres. Today, we operate internationally: in Spain, across Latin America (with centres in Mexico and Colombia) and in Europe (through leadership of the OpenEU alliance).

Knowing where we come from enables us to move forward and continue our mission to transform society and promote the common good.
