The Universidad de Santiago de Compostela
With more than five hundred years of teaching experience, the University of Santiago de Compostela (USC) is today one of Spain's more prestigious institutions. A multitude of graduates have taken advantage of an excellent staff of professors with a proven record of teaching and investigative skills, more than seventy degree courses and fifty doctoral programmes in various areas of knowledge.
The University offers an important cultural programme every year: concerts, conferences, plays and exhibitions. Its students also enjoy the use of the University's modern facilities, including an indoor swimming pool, athletics stadium, tennis courts, basketball courts, football and hockey pitches, or the Sports Hall. All University facilities are designed to respond to our students' needs. Thus, we may guarantee their continued personal and intellectual enrichment, while having the opportunity to live alongside people from a wide range of countries, cultures and traditions, participating in our International Courses.
