University of Coruna

The University of A Coruña was founded in 1989. As a public service, the University of A Coruña is open to the society in general. The University of A Coruña is a modern, innovative and dynamic university. It actively encourages integral training and education through specific programmes covering the areas of culture, cooperation, equality, languages and technology. The University of A Coruña has campuses in A Coruña and in Ferrol, two beautiful coastal cities in the Northwestern Spain. Together, these two cities form Galicia’s most dynamic cultural and economic area. The University of A Coruna is highly committed with internationalization. Different international programmes foster the international mobility of its community as an academic and cultural experience, and increase the presence of foreign students in its campus. Every year, more than 500 international researchers and students come to the UDC thanks to a similar number of bilateral exchange agreements, special programmes and joint titles. Furthermore, UDC is currently devoted to implement a permanent and comprehensive programme of courses and subjects in English that increases UDC appeal for Professors and students from abroad and provides UDC students the opportunity to strengthen their language skills in an international academic atmosphere. UDC promotes the collaboration with other institutions in order to propose international joint and double degrees, with EEES-countries as well as with countries from other strategic areas. In the summer, the UDC launches the International Summer School, with a wide offer of three-week intensive courses taught by international faculty.
