University of Malaga (Universidad de Malaga)
University Information, Campus and History
(Malaga, Spain)
The Universidad de Malaga is a leading public university in Malaga, southern Spain. It is a relatively new university established in 1963, but has gained a reputation as a major cultural and academic centre in the country. The university attracts thousands of local and foreign students a year and has over 37,000 students, 15% of which come from outside Spain.
The university was founded as an answer to the growing social demands of the town, which was then enjoying a surge in economy and population. Its first constituents were the School of Professionals (Escuela de Peritos), the Normal School (Escuela Normal), the Faculty of Economics (Facultad de Económicas), and the Seminary. In 1972, an official decree was signed elevating the school to university status. This was soon followed by the addition of two new units: the School of Economic Science and Enterprise (Facultad de Ciencias Económicas y Empresariales) and the Faculty of Medicine (Facultad de Medicina).
Today, the university offers dozens of courses distributed among 21 departments. It has also added a second campus in Teatinos and is set to expand the one in El Ejido. It is one of the top 20 universities in Spain.
