The University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) is a vibrant 40-year-old institution with 45,000 students, 5,000 world-class academic staff and state-of-the-art facilities.
Following our motto 'Give and spread knowledge', the University of the Basque Country is an integrating institution willing to produce knowledge, experience and research in order to forward it to the general public. Our courses catalogue consists of 67 Bachelor´s Degrees in all fields of knowledge. At postgraduate level, we offer 103 official master programmes, 44 professional and expert diplomas, and 71 PhD programmes.
Our mission is to nurture an enlightened population by providing quality education and training based on knowledge, innovation and equity. As a public institution we are community-funded, and both fees and services rely only to a small extent on students: our university is owned by all, open to all.
We believe in education as a means to arouse our students' awareness of the world and develop precious skills both for career and life. Our surveyed graduates appraise, among the competences acquired while attending our institution: the improvement of their teamwork and leadership skills, the reinforcement of their decision-making and problem-solving ability and the unfolding of their creativivity.
The University of the Basque Country is a unique custodian of our age-old linguistic heritage: we have raised Basque language (the only pre Indo-European tongue still spoken) to the highest educational level.
We contribute 70 % of the research carried out in our region and are deeply committed to producing theoretical knowledge with a view to improve people's lives.
