[Edit this paragraph] Introduction Shortly after the demolition of the Barcelona City Wall, the construction of the University Square began (1859— 1880) (designer Elias? 6? 1 Rochet's works) and continue to build on this basis until 1950- 1960 each department moved to the university area. At this point, the University of Barcelona has been significantly expanded. In addition, other cities in Catalonia also have teaching points. Among the twelve universities in Catalonia, the University of Barcelona is the oldest and oldest, with the largest number of students and teachers, which has trained a large number of talents for Catalonia society. With the signing of the defense cooperation agreement between Spain and the United States in 1958, Spain has been developing in the University of Barcelona for more than 50 years, and it is one of the fastest developing countries in Europe at this stage. The University of Barcelona has also made continuous progress on this basis, and the advantages of internationalization have been further revealed after Spain joined the European Union. In the past fifteen years, the University of Barcelona has understood various social needs, devoted itself to improving and improving teaching quality, opening new disciplines, developing continuing training, and consolidating high-level international basic research and applied research in-depth contact with production departments. [Edit this paragraph] Barcelona University of Education has 20 departments, distributed in four teaching areas (Bellevue, Tilt, Mudit and University Square), with a construction area of 512,630 square meters; 10 teaching point; 100 or above; 7 colleges and research centers; 26 professional research centers. The reputation of the University of Barcelona is based on paying close attention to the constantly updated actual needs and international trends in the field of scientific research. To the south of the new campus is the University of Barcelona Science Park (around the Camp Nou stadium of Barcelona football team), and the school has an institution that provides financing for students of Catalonia University to start their own businesses. The teaching language of the school is Catalan, and the master's courses are Catalan, Spanish and English. There are two or three mixed courses. The specific meeting pointed out at the time of registration that English can be used in general natural science doctoral courses. The undergraduate program of the University of Barcelona is five years, except the medical program. The master's degree system of each college is 1-2 years. The new academic year of the University of Barcelona starts from June 10 and ends in June. The school year exam is held in June and June 10. There are also master's courses starting in March, including Christmas holidays, Holy Week holidays in April, and long summer holidays every year. In addition, there is the Barcelona patron saint festival in September-Merck? Festival. General schools accept freshmen from China through direct interviews. In addition, there are special ways to enroll students (entrance without examination): ① those who have a college diploma; (2) those with professional certificates from secondary technical schools; (3) Have a high school diploma, which is only applicable to high school students in other Spanish cities and European countries with the same economy. The comprehensive rankings of the University of Barcelona are167 (ranked by Shanghai Jiaotong University in 2009) and190 (ranked by The Times of Britain in 2009), making it the highest ranked school in Spain. The disciplines with world-class level are: mathematics (former 10), physics and chemistry (former 30). Medicine and biology also have great advantages (the top 50), and the strength of other majors is relatively average. There are not many China students in Barcelona, but they usually study in the School of Economics and Management and the Spanish Center. Combining tradition and innovation, the University of Barcelona has joined the projects of follow-up education, personalized counseling, skills training, and arranging company internship practice. According to the university of Barcelona 199 1? /FONT & gt； According to the book 1992 Guide, all departments and research institutes belong to the following six departments: ① Humanities and Social Sciences Department: Art Department, Philosophy Department, Linguistics Department, Geography Department and History Department; ② Department of Social Economics: Department of Economics, Department of Law, School of Business, School of Statistics; ③ Department of Experiment and Natural Science: Department of Biology, Department of Physics, Department of Geology, Department of Mathematics and Department of Chemistry; ④ Department of Health Care: Department of Pharmacy, Department of Medicine, Department of Dentistry, Department of Psychology and School of Nursing; ⑤ Ministry of Education and Science: Ministry of Education, Teachers' College of Continuing Education and Institute of Education and Science; ⑥ The first campus (radar campus): Law Department, Philosophy and Literature Department, Medicine Department, Business School and Information College; ⑦ Second Branch (Tarrago Branch): Department of Philosophy and Literature, Department of Chemistry, Department of Medicine, Normal College, Business School, Information College and Brewing College. The language of instruction in this school is Catalan. Colleges directly under the University of Barcelona also include: School of Modern Languages, School of Library and Literature, School of Social Work, School of Gems, etc. The institute directly under the school is the National Institute of Catalan Sports. 12 belongs to four girls' technical schools, five boys' technical schools and three mixed technical schools. The famous disciplines of the University of Barcelona are: history, geography, economics, statistics, sociology, law, mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, geology, medicine, pharmacology, education, classical linguistics, Catalan linguistics, Roman linguistics, Spanish literature and so on. Famous postgraduate majors include: art history, prehistory and ancient history, medieval history, modern history, anthropology, enterprise economics, foreign trade, industrial physics, industrial chemistry, applied mathematics, geological engineering, clinical pharmacology, educational psychology and so on. [Edit this paragraph] International exchange In this regard, the University of Barcelona has been participating in the Erasmus-European student exchange program for many years, with the largest number of students. Projects generally apply for the project bonus for the next academic year in February each year, and they should be prepared one year in advance. In particular, it is necessary to send proof of high language proficiency to China, such as IELTS 6.5 or above in the UK. [Edit this paragraph] The student service secretariat, graduate office and other institutions understand and provide necessary information services for our students and those who want to enter our college. Including providing degree certification, degree application, scholarship application, accommodation arrangement, helping to use campus wireless network, virtual campus, printer and other consulting services. The student reception desk is responsible for the orientation activities and provides practical help to students. At the same time, it also provides students with personalized guidance in learning, teachers and employment. In addition, the student reception desk organizes welcoming and registering students who stay in the University of Barcelona for a short time, and produces and distributes promotional materials to students. [Edit this paragraph] Scholarships There are many scholarships in Spain, but the application period mostly ends in January. At this time, you leave school early and it is difficult to get the pre-admission certificate of related majors. School grants require proof of local work and economic status of the person or family. [Edit this paragraph] Language students studying abroad and visiting have a language center in the University Square, which provides paid language teaching services at a slightly higher price (Catalan is free). (It is recommended to apply for EOI, Barcelona official language school or areas where Spanish is more popular. The price is low and the quality is guaranteed. For students who are going to study for official degrees in this university, they have the opportunity to apply for government scholarships for language training, but the deadline is generally 65438+ 10, which makes it difficult to apply. Generally speaking, students need three years of continuous efforts in language learning to use Spanish effectively. It is suggested that if you study for a master's degree or below, your actual Spanish level reaches B2 or above, or you have the same level of Canadian language, you will enter the University of Barcelona. Doctors can only use English. The undergraduate education system is five years, which may be reduced to four years and six years in medicine. All classes are taught in Catalan, and there are many club activities that the school can participate in. Undergraduate students who have studied in China can study the corresponding majors by transferring credits, which is a good way to come to Spain, but generally there is no scholarship and it is not suitable to come to Catalonia. Students admitted to universities without taking the college entrance examination are not recommended to pass the local college entrance examination, because the college entrance examination here is almost impossible for domestic students. The official master's degree in European standards is recognized by EU countries, which is highly research-oriented, difficult and slightly more likely to get a scholarship. It only needs to pay a registration fee of about 25 euros per credit-10 hour. The degree offered independently by a master's school is generally an application, which requires tuition fees, and the tuition fees vary greatly. It is said that it can't get the equivalent certification from the government of China. Please consult the Ministry of Education for details. I consulted too few local people. From the perspective of local employment, I think it is not much different from the official master's degree. Because it includes internship, it is easier to work. Because there is no master's degree in Spain, the gold content of doctors is generally higher than that of masters. The academic system is originally four years, including the master's degree. Due to language problems, it generally takes 1 to 2 years for China people to complete their studies. According to different grades, the possibility of getting a scholarship varies greatly. [Edit this paragraph] Library The University Library of Barcelona has 37,500 professional magazines and nearly two million books, providing 6 1 12 seats. Most of them are open to the outside world to meet the needs of study, scientific research and continuing training. More importantly, Catalan books are convenient for official masters or doctors to borrow from each other. At the same time, famous European universities provide free wireless network between schools called eduroam, and the citizen library in Barcelona provides loans for ordinary people with passports. The network library provides a rich database, which is very important for students and teaching researchers to collect information. However, most of the online references are Catalan, which is similar to Spanish, but it affects the learning and using speed. It is suggested that if you are studying for a master's degree or below, your actual level of Spanish is above B2, or you have a certain level of Canadian language, then you can apply for the University of Barcelona. You need to apply for a password to use the network, and you need browser authentication to use the database at home. Relevant information can be consulted by the Secretariat and the Graduate Office, and there is also relevant information on the school website. The school provides virtual campus services, and you can download relevant courseware and discuss it. [Edit this paragraph] Accommodation arranged by living accommodation schools is generally very expensive. It's best to rent a local house directly. The price of a small single room is about 280 euros per month, while the school house is at least 450 euros per month, probably because the school can get a lot of money including accommodation in the scholarship undertaken by the government. At present, due to the economic crisis, ordinary housing can be counter-offered. The main housing information is on the loquo website, including the proof of accommodation for applying for a Spanish visa. In fact, the Spanish are very flexible. Ask a little more and someone will open it for you. Generally used for personnel registration and residence change, the Spanish will definitely open the accommodation certificate. Generally, China people need 150 euros to get a residence certificate (illegal behavior, but China people's houses are cheaper, just like in 2009) (I hope alumni can take the initiative to contact more). Means of transportation include buses, long-distance buses, rail transit Renfe, trams, ordinary subways and airplanes. The bus map is distributed free of charge at the window of the service center of the University Square Station. The fare of 50 subway trains in 30 days is about 36 euros. Under the age of 26, you can buy a one-way subway ticket with three-month unlimited trips 108 euros, and the fare of a one-way Renfe long-term ticket is slightly lower. The ticket for 10 is 7.7 euros, and the subway, tram, Renfei, Adif and bus tickets are combined. Long-distance bus stations are located at Sants station and Arc de triomf station, which is the cheapest short-distance travel mode, but it is many times more expensive than domestic ones. Train fares are relatively expensive, and there are sants and estación de francia in remote stations. There is also a cheap short-distance train renfe nearby. There are economical air tickets for small airports online, which are really cheap. According to different countries, there are also many airlines or ticketing websites for different regions, which need specific analysis. You can contact the local travel agency in China to buy a return ticket. Tickets can be really cheap, usually booked three months in advance, and the return fee is generally below 450 euros. You can also contact the local German China Travel Agency directly to get a cheaper ticket. Germany often has a round-trip ticket of more than 300 euros. You can buy another round-trip ticket to Germany. At present, travel agency fares are slightly lower than those on the Internet (in 2009). The driver's license test generally costs more than 65,438+0,000 euros, and China's driver's license cannot be used directly. Communication local Chinese supermarkets, such as Zhonghua Supermarket near the Arc de Triomphe, have mobile phone cards selling bread cards, and 5 euros can make long-distance calls of 1500 minutes, excluding the starting fee of about 0.2 euros. Local calls can be signed with the mobile phone of a local company, which is really cheaper. China company Zheng Xin Unicom has a free community cell phone in China, which is specially used to call the same company, but it is more expensive for people who live with foreigners. In the Arc de Triomphe, Tetuan and Fangduo, there are telecom goods stores such as mobile phones operated by China people. The sanitary condition of supermarkets in China is improving. At present, there are mainly Yunlai and Yangguang in the Arc de Triomphe subway station, Dongfang in the University Square, supermarkets in special groups and a large number of supermarkets in Fangduo China District. It is recommended to buy ingredients and Chinese food. General supermarkets, such as Mercadona, are cheaper and more sanitary than domestic supermarkets. Badalona is a wholesale area for China people. The hygiene of local Chinese food is improving, and some restaurants are still very good. Alumni are advised to eat western food in the canteen or the restaurant opposite the old campus and at the intersection of UPF University in the north of the new campus at noon to save time. [Edit this paragraph] Entertainment The old campus of the University of Barcelona is surrounded by Barcelona's world-famous gay area, with many small clothing brands, fashion, beauty shops, bars and so on. There are many modern and post-modern buildings of world-famous architects Gaudi and Miro in Barcelona, but China people may not like them. The Olympic Games and the World Expo have left a series of sports and leisure places in the Arc de Triomphe, the seaport and Mount Monju, but all of them are old. The palace on the mountain is the exhibition center of ancient Catalan collections, as well as the Miro Museum, fountains and castles. The Museum of Contemporary Art is located next to the historical geography campus in the south of the old campus. There are many artists performing in the nearby Plaza Catalunya and la rambla Street in the south, and there is also a unique liceu Theatre in the west of the street. On the east side of the street is Gothic District, including famous buildings such as Catalonia Concert Hall and Barcelona Cathedral. There are all kinds of bars on both sides of the narrow street. There are more than 20 ski resorts and many golf courses in the Pyrenees in northern Catalonia, and there are religious buildings on the pilgrimage road in ancient Rome, including the number one restaurant in the western world (2009). There are offshore cliffs on the north coast, the former residence of Dali. Segars, a famous gay town in the south, hosts a series of entertainment, art, collection and exhibition activities, such as film festivals, masquerade parties and zombie parades. The southern coast is very flat and shallow, and it can even walk 200 meters away. It is a good place for leisure. [Edit this paragraph] Sports The sports center of the University of Barcelona is located about 600 meters northwest of the new campus, south of the street and west of the gas station. With 65,438+00,000 square meters of improved equipment, it is one of the largest and most complete places in Catalonia, and it is also the sports, leisure and entertainment center of the faculty of Barcelona University. In addition to a swimming pool (indoor in winter and outdoor in summer), Barcelona Sports Center also provides 28 kinds of sports facilities throughout the year. Half-price discount for freshmen is really a practical measure to promote students' communication. -Paul Gasol Paul Gasol, a famous basketball player, studied at the Medical College of the University of Barcelona. [Edit this paragraph] The cost of being a Chinese tutor is generally 12 euros per hour. Of course, it also depends on the quality of personal teaching. Due to the economic crisis, the cost of work is very low, with an average of only 5 euros per hour. It is recommended not to participate. The school provides some school positions before April, which requires admission certificate and work-related experience or ability. The average hourly wage is only about 5 euros.
