Universidad de Zaragoza

The University of Zaragoza is a public institution devoted to excellence in teaching, learning and research, development and innovation, and to shaping leaders in many disciplines. The University, based in the Ebro Valley, in the heart of Aragon, is flanked by the Pyrenees and the Iberian Mountain Range. It features almost five centuries of tradition and history (founded 1542) and an enrollment of over 31.000 undergraduate, graduate and professional students.  The basic values of the University include quality, solidarity and sustainability -as a call for action in promoting prosperity while protecting the planet-, as well as openness and the aim to be an instrument of social transformation and a driving force of economic and cultural development.    
The University itself extends over three campuses that correspond to the three provinces within the Autonomous Community of Aragon.
Throughout five centuries of history significant figures such as the Botanist and Economist Ignacio de Asso, the Bibliographer Félix de Latassa, the Geographer Isidoro de Antillón, the Medical Doctor and Nobel Prize Winner Santiago Ramón y Cajal (1906), or the liberator of Cuba, José Martí, count among the prominent alumni of our university. The University of Zaragoza has also granted its highest award, the Honoris Causa Doctorate, to distinguished recipients such as Luis Buñuel or Rigoberta Menchú, and its posthumous gold medals to Santiago Ramón y Cajal or Ramón J. Sender.
