Universidad de Malaga

Malaga University is a young and modern university that started its first activities in the beginning of the 1960s, although it traces its roots back to the 1850s when the first school of commerce and modern languages was established in Malaga. The Faculty of Political, Economic and Commercial Sciences were the first to be established in 1963 at the central El Ejido campus which still forms part of the University today. Although this was the first step in establishing a real university in Malaga it took until 1972 (and after a lot of pressure from several citizens groups) to achieve the final decree approving the establishment of a full scale university in Malaga.

Malaga University has more than 40,000 students per year (including approx. 6,000 foreign students) studying one of the 60 official titles offered by Malaga University in areas like Humanities, Mathematics & Natural Sciences, Health Sciences and Social Sciences.

The University have two campuses the small El Ejido Campus located in the centre of Malaga which is still hosting the faculty of Economics amongst others and the new modern campus Teatinos located in the north-western area of Malaga about 15-20 min from the centre of the city.

Apart from the campuses in Malaga the University also have various branches and associated campuses in the neighbouring towns of Antequera and Ronda.

The faculties of Medicine and Philosophy were the first to become installed in the new Teatinos Campus and today most faculties are located in this main campus which extends over a surface of approx, 2 million square meters and where all the main university installations are located (sport grounds,libraries, computer facilities, etc.).
