Universidad Complutense de Madrid

The Complutense University of Madrid (UCM), a world class university which has been recognized by the Ministry of Education as an International Campus of Excellence.

With the different degrees it offers in its departments and research centres, the UCM covers most fields of knowledge. The education offered is of the highest quality, ensured by more than 6,000 teachers who have been appointed through a stringent selection process and by some 4,000 administration and service staff. This is the best guarantee of the true quality of a public university.

Safeguarding this quality includes highly qualified teaching and research staff. It also includes exchange agreements with other universities worldwide allowing students to complete part of their studies in other universities in Europe, USA, Latin America, Asia, Australia and Africa. It also means an IT infrastructure designed to facilitate remote access to many services, immediately on registration, and to the Virtual Campus which includes all twenty six of the UCM centres. The Library has the most important collection of any Spanish university. But at UCM we believe that a quality university experience, as well as scientific excellence, must also include education in values and attitudes which shape individual intellectual and personal development. The UCM is convinced that the University should prepare students for an ethical and socially responsible professional future. The UCM is organized to provide a response to this educational challenge with a wide-ranging, transversal offer of activities which encourage the development of critical reflection, solidarity and capacity for cooperation.
