In the course of its more than 400 years of history the University has established itself as a center of excellence, research and teaching, where many renowned scholars and scientists –among them one Nobel laureate- worked and still work. Today 34,291 students study at its 22 faculties and colleges. 1,796 foreign students from more than 75 different countries as well as dozens of visiting professors and researchers contribute to its international atmosphere.

Located in the Spanish region of Aragón, Universidad de Zaragoza has its headquarters in the city of Zaragoza, the chief town of the region and the sixth largest city of Spain.

Universidad de Zaragoza is the main centre of higher education and technological innovation in the Ebro Valley and has great prestige among the group of both Spanish and European universities it has relations with. It offers a wide range of high quality study programs in life/health sciences, natural sciences, law, economics and business, social sciences and humanities.
