University of Santiago de Compostela

Founded in 1495, we are one of the public universities with more tradition in Europe but, at the same time, we are dynamic and modern with a clear enterprising profile and open to international collaboration. We have taken on an active role not only in the creation and diffusion of knowledge but also in the promotion of an enterprising and innovative culture that will contribute to the generation of wealth.

The University of Santiago de Compostela set its mission as the knowledge at the service of society and defines itself as a comprehensive and enterprising university with campuses of well-balanced growth that respond to the demands of society through professionally managed quality services.
