UNIVERSIDAD COMPLUTENSE DE MADRID
About the City and the University
The Complutense University has its origins in the 13th century, in the 'studia' that King Sancho IV of Castilla founded in a little town, called Compluto by the Romans and Alcala by the Arabs, on the banks of the river Henares. In 1836 it was transferred to Madrid, which had in the meantime become the capital of Spain. In 1970, under the new law concerning the statutes of universities in the world, it was given the name 'Un iversidad Complutense de Madrid'. The Complutense University is one of the oldest universities in the world, as well as the largest and most prestigious in Spain. It has a staff of 10000 people and a student population of 117 000. Most of the University Faculties are situated in the Ciudad Universitaria at Moncloa. However, the Faculties of Political Sciences, Economics and Business Administration and Psychology are situated on the new campus in Somosaguas. The office which deals with foreign students is the 'Oficina de Relaciones Internacionales', which is situated in the Pabellón de Gobierno -Ciudad Universitaria -.
