The Universidad de Zaragoza is a public institution of research and higher education at the service of society, which combines a tradition of almost five centuries of history (it was founded in 1542), with advanced research and the permanent updating of its teachings. It is the only public university in Aragon, which contributes to the articulation of its territory, and the main research center of the Ebro Valley. It is a generalist university, with a wide offer in all fields of knowledge, both in undergraduate, master’s and doctoral studies, as well as in the offer of its own degrees.
