University of Santiago de Compostela

The Uni­ver­sity of San­ti­ago de Com­postela is edu­ca­tion and knowl­edge at the ser­vice of the soci­ety. It is a sin­gu­lar insti­tu­tion due to its his­tory, the impres­sive set­tings of Com­postela and Lugo, where its cam­puses are located, its dynamism and its com­mit­ment to mod­erni­sa­tion. Founded in 1495 by Don Lope Gomez de Mar­zoa, this insti­tu­tion main­tains one of the mose impor­tant aca­d­e­mic tra­di­tions in Europe, being always atten­tive to the grow­ing demands of soci­ety and open to inter­na­tional collaboration.

This House of Knowl­edge is strongly com­mit­ted to pro­vid­ing high qual­ity teach­ing, research and ser­vices. It is also com­mit­ted to the respect for the envi­ron­ment, sus­tain­able devel­op­ment as well as to the social, eco­nomic and cul­tural dynami­sa­tion of our region. Our enter­pris­ing pro­file enables us to look to the future with ambi­tion. And as we move to the future, we are show­ing the world, day after day, the face of the Uni­ver­sity of San­ti­ago de Compostela.
