Global impact

Global impact Thanks to its ability to teach students from all over the world, the UOC's social impact is global. Over time, we have touched the lives of students worldwide by enhancing their professional prospects and life opportunities with our educational model. As a result, we have had the chance to train agents of change who are able to improve their environment and increase people's quality of life. This social impact is even greater when we collaborate on research projects, volunteering initiatives and social practices with international organizations and governments, public sector bodies, and social entities and organizations in various regions. Implementing SDG 17 and creating partnerships to achieve the SDGs reveals our commitment to open up to the world on the basis of respect and collaboration.
