School info & PHD program

URL is a non-profit making federated private entity recognized in 1991 by the Government of Catalonia. URL is the second private university in Spain with more than 18.000 students and 1.200 professors. It offers 24 Degrees, 38 Masters and 13 PhD Programmes in the frame of the EHEA. 50 research groups carry out research within European and national projects.
URL is integrated by 10 centres with their own juridical personality. It is structured through a federative agreement between the University, formal holder and responsible of the centers, and the entities [1] that assume the management of each centre with their own resources. In the context of the 7th Framework Programme the centres of URL are the beneficiaries of the grants, following the indications from DG Research. However, after consulting the coordinator of the Erasmus Action at EACEA, URL is the direct beneficiary of the ERASMUS actions, even if they are performed by its federated centre FUNITEC.
