These sessions introduce the Tutorial Action Plan (PAT) and provide opportunities to meet senior students. All sessions are held on campus at Mundet, and relevant information is published on the Faculty website during the first half of September.

In the final years of each programme, the PAT organises professional guidance and career orientation sessions tailored to each degree. Experts from the relevant sectors participate, including representatives from the Department of Education, Department of Justice, professional associations, teaching unions, and other relevant organisations.

The primary objective of the UB Tutoresport Programme is to support students in successfully managing their dual training, combining academic studies with athletic practice. The programme aims to provide flexibility in academic obligations so they are compatible with sporting commitments, in accordance with current regulations on high-performance university sport at the University of Barcelona.

Key features of the programme:

  • Emotional support for students.
  • Shared sporting experiences.
  • Assistance in addressing fears and uncertainties.
  • Support to balance academic and athletic activities, particularly during internship periods.

 

The programme allows recognition of up to 6 credits during the degree, or 1.5 per year.

Additionally, it enables students to train at UB Sports facilities free of charge and to participate in competitions representing the University at regional, national and international levels.

Detailed information on the programme, including access requirements, registration and benefits, is available on the official programme page.

Mental health is a fundamental aspect of personal well-being and is inseparable from the concept of health: good overall health cannot exist without good mental health.
