University of Andorra Relaunches Professional Development Cycle with Short Courses

The University of Andorra (UdA), partnering with Creand Fundació, is relaunching its Professional Development Cycle (CPP) this February with a series of short in-person courses in communication, health, and education.

Open to university staff, students, and professionals across the country, the programme seeks to broaden or refresh knowledge in targeted fields. Launched in 1996, it benefits from Creand Fundació funding that covers 20% of enrolment fees to promote social and professional growth.

The cycle kicks off on 10 February with an education-focused session titled "Towards an Ethical and Sustainable Culture: Applying AI Solutions with Sustainable Development Goals." Lasting four hours, it will be delivered by lecturers Neus Lorenzo and Rosa de la Fuente.

Communication offerings include two workshops. Journalist Gemma Rial will lead "The Art of Public Speaking: Foundations for Fluent Communication" on 25 and 26 February. Emotional intelligence expert Esther Garcia Navarro will then present "Managing Difficult Conversations to Improve Relationships" on 4 and 5 May.

In health, Adria Archilla and Núria Boix will conduct "Interpretation of Clinical Analyses" on 16 April, explaining common tests and their results. The series closes on 5 June with "Train Your Pelvic Floor," offering practical techniques to understand, activate, relax, and maintain these muscles functionally.

All five courses are scheduled between February and June 2026, with more potentially added soon. Full details and registration are available on the UdA website.
