About Complutense University of Madrid

The Complutense University of Madrid (UCM), with a European and international vocation, is the largest public research university in Spain, and is widely regarded as one of its most prestigious academic institutions. At the present moment we offer 81 BA degrees, 152 MA degrees, 58 Doctoral programs and nearly 200 Expert and Specialist degrees, in almost all areas of knowledge.

Because we consider our students our main concern, this university is committed to providing comprehensive training at the highest level. Our programs enjoy wide acceptance in the labor market. Moreover, the internationalization of our curriculum is a growing reality – we offer some bilingual degrees (Spanish and English), and many specific courses in different languages. The UCM also has a prestigious Spanish Language Centre (CCEE) for foreign students.

The UCM has an extensive series of accords permitting student/professor exchanges and study abroad opportunities; the UCM currently operates some institutions outside of Spain, such as the The Real Colegio Complutense at Harvard University (USA), and the Collège des Hautes Études Européennes Miguel Servet (France).

Many UCM research groups occupy positions in the highest ranks of international leadership, and we are committed to ensuring excellence based on large networks of quality research groups.
