Salaries at UOC

UOC Employer Profile

Salary expectations at Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC), a pioneering online university based in Catalonia, Spain, are influenced by several factors including role, academic rank, experience, and field of expertise. As a public university, UOC often adheres to standardized pay scales set by the Spanish government for public sector employees, which vary based on seniority and position. While specific salary bands are not always publicly disclosed in detail by the university itself, general ranges for academic and administrative roles can often be inferred from national guidelines for public universities in Spain. Transparency regarding exact figures may be limited, and prospective employees are encouraged to consult official university HR resources or union agreements for precise data.

  • Full Professor (Catedrático/a): Typically earns between €40,000–€60,000 annually (approximately $43,000–$65,000 USD), depending on years of service and additional research grants or administrative responsibilities.
  • Associate Professor (Profesor/a Titular): Average salary ranges from €30,000–€45,000 per year (about $32,000–$48,000 USD), with potential increases based on seniority and teaching load.
  • Lecturer or Adjunct Faculty (Profesor/a Asociado/a): Often part-time, earning €15,000–€25,000 yearly (around $16,000–$27,000 USD), with compensation tied to hours taught or specific contracts.
  • Administrative Coordinator: Salaries generally fall between €20,000–€30,000 annually (approximately $21,000–$32,000 USD), influenced by role scope and experience.
  • Research Staff: Earnings vary widely, from €25,000–€40,000 per year (about $27,000–$43,000 USD), often supplemented by external funding or project-specific grants.

In general, salaries at UOC are competitive within the context of Spanish public universities, though they may not match private sector or international benchmarks in certain fields. Progression often depends on achieving higher academic ranks or securing additional funding through research projects. As a public institution, UOC salaries are typically benchmarked against national standards, which include periodic adjustments for inflation or collective bargaining agreements. For those considering a career at UOC, it’s worth noting that while base salaries are stable, additional income through bonuses or external collaborations can vary significantly by department and individual initiative.
