On Wednesday, October 12, 2022, the Government of Andorra approved the Decree approving the eUniv Bachelor’s in Communication curriculum, and the Official Gazette of the Principality of Andorra published it on 19 of the same month.
This study plan, which was positively evaluated by the Andorran University Quality Agency, structures the teaching in 6 semesters (3 academic years) and assigns a total academic load of 180 European credits.
The degree coordination team expects to be able to start implementation from the fourth or fifth semester of the 2022-23 academic year.
Last Saturday, October 21, the signing ceremony of the agreement between eUniv and the Andorran company Opció-Recursos Humans took place in order to launch the preparation of teaching materials for the Bachelor in Psychology.

The event took place at the headquarters of the University of Sant Julià de Lòria, signed on behalf of eUniv by its Manager, Mr. Anton Miret, and on behalf of Opció-Recursos Humans its Administrator, Ms. Elisa Fité. Likewise, the foundations have also been laid to establish future lines of collaboration.

The act “The circular economy and the management of urban waste in Andorra and Catalonia” organized by the eUniv has gathered around sixty people at the headquarters of the Escola Superior de Relacions Públiques (ESRP). The event served to highlight the various challenges faced by the public administrations of Andorra and Catalonia and to discuss possible solutions. The Secretary of State for Agriculture, Environment and Sustainability, Marc Rosselló, and about twenty experts have participated in the different debate tables that addressed the problem from a transversal point of view.
The director of the Environmental Studies Center of the eUniv, Dra. Conxa Puebla, has affirmed that “the day has been a great success and highlights the real difficulties of implementing Circular Economy measures that affect the management of urban and municipal waste, both in Andorra and Catalonia “. The rector of the eUniv, Dr. Antoni Noguero explained that “it is for this reason that the Center for Environmental Studies, together with the European Communication Observatory of the Doctorate School J.H. NEWMAN of the eUniv, have decided to convene a specific conference dedicated to this challenge”.

It was formally established in December 2019 and began its academic activity in the 2020-2021 academic year. Since then, more than 170 Andorran, Spanish and Latin American students have enrolled in the different studies offered by the university.

According to the decree, qualified people will be able to practice in the fields of educational psychology, social intervention, organizations and human resources, psychogerontology, physical activity and sport, and also traffic and road safety.
The Academic Board of the University agreed in its ordinary session in September, at the behest of the Academic Prothonotary, the creation of the General Archive of the eUniv under the responsibility of the Praelector of the university.
The General Archive will be organized into three Sections: Academic, Institutional and Administrative, which will incorporate, following an organic classification, all the documents issued and received by each and every one of the University’s organic units.
The General Archive will have a digital version, which will be duplicated and updated in the cloud, and a printed version on paper, which will be kept at the University headquarters, with which the continuity of academic and administrative activities can be ensured in case of computer attacks like those experienced by other universities in the area.
At the opening ceremony, the rector of eUniv, Dr. Antoni Noguero, stated that this year’s edition of the Graphic Symposium “reinforces its international character”. In this way, to the participation in previous editions of countries such as Chile, Colombia, Ecuador or Mexico, this year the celebration outside Barcelona is added this year – taking advantage of the fact that from now on the permanent headquarters of the Symposium is linked to the eUniv based in Andorra-.
Josep Majoral, Consul Major of Sant Julià de Lòria, opened the VIII Graphic Symposium explaining that Sant Julià “is a seat with a strong university component”. For his part, Dr. Daniel Tena, member of the Scientific Committee and Organizer of the Graphic Symposium, wanted to emphasize the objective of the meeting, noting that it is to “open new horizons”. The opening ceremony was enlivened by Xavi Pérez with an artistic interpretation in which, based on Ken Garland’s First things first manifesto (1964 and subsequent updates in 2000), he brought sound and visual stimuli closer to a reflection about consumerism, art and humanity.
The academic program has started with Andreu Van Hooft, from the Radboud University of Nijmegen, with a conference on Language and Advertising that would give way to the traditional Brindana. The second and third days of the Graphic Symposium were devoted to research and didactic tables with presentations focusing on graphic design and advertising.
Many of the research and research works in relation to graphic design and advertising creativity and communication have been presented in oral or poster format. In this way, teaching and didactics, research and scientific dissemination, the various professional experiences (tables of the Professional Colleges), teaching and research, have given the VIII Symposium graphic sketch a scenario in which it will be necessary to follow delving into these issues.
For this reason, the next edition of the graphic symposium will be at the “Centro Internacional de Estudios e Investigación en Tecnologías Gráficas y Comunicación Científica (TGRAF)”, which has its headquarters at Campus Lumiar, Edificio L, “Print Research Lab” of the ISEC Lisbon. The IX edition of the Graphic Symposium will be held on September 6, 7 and 8, 2023 and will focus on the strategic complicity between form and content.
The Academic Board of the University agreed in its ordinary session in September, at the request of the Academic Prothonotary, to reorder the initial structure of the teaching faculties in order to simplify it and adapt it to the classic structure.
From this reorganization, the first faculty will include teaching staff linked to the areas of scientific knowledge of Arts and Humanities, the second to Law and Social Sciences, and the third to Medicine and Health Sciences, which is created now to be able to accommodate the new teaching staff of the state Psychology studies and of the Odontology studies. It is also planned to create a fourth faculty when Theology studies are implemented at the eUniv.
The agreement also provides that each faculty will use a single color in the solemn academic events, which will correspond to the classic university tradition: sky blue for the first, red for the second, yellow for the third and white for in the future quarter.
In accordance with the statutes of the eUniv, the position of Dean is held by the professor with the doctoral degree who is older, and the Secretary corresponds to whoever is younger.
