This Friday, February 18th, the rector of the eUniv, Antoni Noguero, and the general director of the Jesuits of Sarrià, Josep Mª Ramon Gimeno, met to sign an agreement of collaboration and academic cooperation between both academic centers. This alliance establishes the basic rules for promoting eUniv studies among Jesuit students in Sarrià.

Dr. Antoni Noguero emphasized that this “is an important step to continue with the implementation of eUniv studies throughout the territory” and that “the support of an institution such as the Jesuits of Sarrià demonstrates the potential of the eUniv methodology in the formative development of the youngest students ”. For his part, Mr. Josep Mª Ramon pointed out that “this collaboration will allow the Jesuits of Sarrià to expand the outings they offer their students once they finish their studies”.

In addition, the agreement between the two entities enables teachers and members of both communities to participate jointly in institutional events, to collaborate in research initiatives.

On February 11, 2022, an academic collaboration agreement has been signed between the Directorate of the F. Layret University College and the Center for University Studies (CEDEU) of Madrid. This agreement between both centers establishes a system of mutual recognition and validation of teaching units, between the eUniv’s Bachelor in Law and the CEDEU’s Degree in Law.

This will allow students of these studies who are interested in international mobility to have prior knowledge of the academic effects, while greatly simplifying the processing of the corresponding validation and recognition files.

The agreement is part of the F. Layret University College’s policy of establishing agreements with centers from other universities that have implemented bachelor-level education equivalent to theirs to facilitate, in general, the international mobility of students.
