The History
• The first university in Granada was founded by the Moorish
Sultan Yusuf the First in 1349
• The modern university owes its origins to the initiative of the
Holy Roman Emperor Charles V who founded it in 1531
• At this time the “general studies” were restricted to Logic,
Philosophy, Canonic Law, Grammar and Cases of Conscience
• Today the University offers about 45 major and 5 engineering
degrees; and has 60,000 students, more than 2,000 foreign
visitors, 3,000 teachers and 1,500 administrative staff
• It become the major Spanish university in terms of the number
of Socrates/Erasmus students which it accepts
The geographical location
The province of Granada can
claim to have the most diverse
climate in Spain
Its coast is subtropical, whilst
inland the mountains rise to the
peaks of the Iberian peninsula,
>3,000 mts
Granada has a Mediterranean
mountain climate: hot and dry in
summer, and cold and dry in
winter, with cool, wet blustery
weather in spring and autumn
The founder
Charles of Austria, Holy Roman Emperor
and King of Spain
Charles V was the son of Philip of
Bugarny and Joanne of Spain and
inherited the thrones of Habsburg,
the Netherlands and Spain
He defeated King Francis I of
France, ordered the plundering of
Rome and sent the Pope to prison
He also destroyed the Turk army
and raised the siege of Vienna
It was thanks to his initiative, that
the University of Granada was
created in 1531
The University
The emblematic building of the
University is called the “Hospital
Real”, since this was what it
effectively was in ancient times
Nowadays, the Rector’s
department and administrative
heads have their offices here
It is also the first place that
foreign students should visit
when they arrive to enrol
officially at the University
The Hospital Real
The Hospital’s wards
were built to give onto
four courtyards
The architects made a
wise decision!..., since
the University staff can
enjoy the daylight and
the quietness all through
their working day, as
could the patients in
former times
The Engineering School
This building has housed the
Computing and Computer Science
academic studies course since 1993.
The Computer Sciences
Academic Studies
At present, the Engineering
School awards two degrees in
Computing and a degree in
Computer Science
The School’s graduates may
obtain a diploma (219 credits)
or receive a degree in
Engineering (369 credits) upon
successful completion one of
the curricula (1 credit/ 10 class
hours)
Practical classroom facilities
The teaching is aimed at
providing the students with a
solid background in Computer
Science
Attendance of formal
lectures is accompanied by an
adequate proportion of
practical work carried out in
the laboratories and through
projects which are personally
directed by the faculty staff
Study Programmes
The new curricula provide for
a “cyclical system” of either
three academic years:
-Diploma in Computing for Management
and Business Administration,
-Diploma in System Programming and
Administration of Computer Systems,
or five:
-Degree in Computer Sciences
Engineering
Diploma in Computing for Management
and Business Administration
•First year subjects:Mathematics, Logic, Basic
Programming, Data Structures, Electronics
•Second year: Data Bases, Software Engineering,
