Student associations
Discover the UOC's student associations and have a genuine university experience. Through these associations, you'll have the opportunity to make new friends and meet people who share your interests. You'll learn more about what you're passionate about and be able to propose and run various activities. What's more, you can earn academic credits, as some associations offer academic recognition.
According to the regulations governing student associations at the UOC (ES)or (CA), all UOC students have the right to create and establish student associations. Come on, get involved!
The public administration in each autonomous community usually provides templates for all the necessary documentation. Check their websites for the following documents (you can see examples of each document):
Foundation Charter, with the date of incorporation and signed by the founders (example in Catalan - example in Spanish).
Statutes, signed by all members (example in Catalan - example in Spanish).
Certificate of members, which includes the name and ID number of each member (example in Catalan - example in Spanish).
- Application for registration with the UOC Student Associations Register, signed by 3 students who are members of the association (example in Catalan - example in Spanish).
- Document certifying registration with the Register of Associations in your autonomous community.
- Copy of the submitted documents: Foundation Charter and Statutes.
- Certificate of members, stamped by the Register of Associations.
Once the association has been registered, ask for it to be publicised on the campus and on the university's portal so that everyone knows about your association.

Why this project?
The De Bat a Bat Association was founded by a group of students passionate about oratory, persuasive argumentation, and non-verbal communication. We provide training and mentorship in academic debate and public speaking.
Our experience
The confrontation of ideas, persuasion and the construction of convincing arguments are an art, but also something that is learned with experience and active participation.
We have participated in two types of Debate Leagues
Internal university debate leagues, such as the UOC League, offer an excellent opportunity to test one's ability to convince and, moreover, allow participants to do so in front of an audience, a team, opponents, and a jury. Additionally, they are a unique experience that facilitates connection with other students sharing the same interests, confronting different points of view, and sharing the fruits of individual and collective work.
On the other hand, interuniversity debate leagues, such as the Xarxa Vives, provide great opportunities to put one's skills into practice against students from various universities—in the case of the Xarxa Vives, students from universities across Catalonia, Valencia, and the Balearic Islands.
