The University of Alcalá
A historic university in a traditional Spanish setting
The University of Alcalá, a UNESCO world heritage site, was founded in 1499 by Cardinal Cisneros and is one of the oldest universities in Spain. Located in the city of Alcalá de Henares, well known as the birthplace of Cervantes, creator of the unforgettable Don Quixote.
Thirty kilometers from the centre of Madrid, today the University of Alcalá is a modern institution which offers a wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate degree programs adapted to the European Higher Education Area and covering all fields of knowledge, from the humanities to engineering, and from the social sciences to experimental and biomedical sciences. Around 27,000 students—approximately 19,000 undergraduates and 8,000 postgraduates—are currently reading for a regulated degree at the University of Alcalá.
In 1998 the historic buildings of the University of Alcalá were named a UNESCO World Heritage Site
