University of La Coruña » Overview of the Institution

The University of La Coruña is a young institution, created on 29th July 1989. Its main objectives, always in line with its social role, are to "offer the necessary teaching for the education of our students, and the training of staff and tutors at all levels, promoting research activity and spreading culture." Over these years, the University has manages to develop a dynamic, well balanced community, which offers teaching in diverse areas. Most of the university facilities are found on two campuses: the La Coruña campus, consisting of the smaller sites of Zapateria, Elviña, Oza and Riazor; and the Ferrol campus, which contains the Esteriro and Serantes sites.

In early 2008, the University had 22 centres (6 in Ferrol and 16 in La Coruña), and 3 associate centres (The University School of Nursing, the University School of Employment Relations and the University School of Tourism). In addition, the University Centre for Training and Educational Innovation, the Centre for Technological Innovation in Construction and Civil Engineering, and the Centre for Technological Research complete the facilities of this Galician Institution.

Although both Castilian Spanish and Galician are official languages of the University, the institutional language is the latter.
