History and objectives

The University of Cadiz is a public university which has its roots in the Faculty of Medicine which developed from the Royal Naval College of Surgery, established in 1748. Founded on the 30th October 1979, the University of Cadiz is a growing institution, closely interwoven with the economic and social fabric of the surrounding area. It is situated in the southern-most province of Spain, with shores bathed by the Mediterranean and the Atlantic. The University has more than 18000 students, 15 centres and 45 departments, staffed by over 1500 lectures who teach on a total of 63 degree programmes and 22 doctorate courses. 162 groups participate in research, development and innovation programmes, many of a recognised level of excellence in the areas of Humanities, Social Sciences, Pure and Applied Sciences, Engineering and Health Sciences. The international vocation of the University of Cadiz towards Europe, North Africa and Latin America can be seen in its past activities and the strategic plans for the future, defining itself as a welcoming university in an environment open to the dialogue between cultures. The University of Cadiz has outstanding libraries, rated among the best in the country and with the seal of quality of the National Evaluation and Accreditation Agency (ANECA), and offers services which include courses provided by the Modern Languages Centre, an intensive programme of cultural events throughout the year, a wide range of sports and the opportunity of participating in solidarity and volunteer activities.
