UB Refugi Programme
The Transition to University Studies Course, coordinated by the UB Solidarity Foundation, with co-funding from the Barcelona City Council through the Directorate for Global Justice and International Cooperation Services, aims to promote the social and educational inclusion of refugee students through learning Catalan and Spanish, acquiring notions of human rights and knowledge of their environment. To date, it has taken in 75 people, six of them from Palestine.
The aid includes, among other things, exemption from tuition and associated fees for the transition course and subsequent university studies; accommodation and full board in university residences; monthly maintenance; private health insurance; psycho-emotional accompaniment; psychological and psychiatric support, if necessary; administrative and legal assistance; academic counselling; preparation for entering the labour market; and social mentoring and language support from the UB community. In addition, the aid requires knowledge of and involvement in the city's associative networks, as well as participation in international cooperation projects or community projects linked to UB Solidarity.
